IDBS has announced the deployment of its E-Workbook Suite within the research and development (R+D) facilities at Wells' Dairy.
The production use of E-Workbook at Wells' Dairy is aimed at improving operational efficiency, as well as providing more robust protection for intellectual property assets.
Wells' Dairy required more robust data capture than that offered by traditional paper recording, plus the ability to capture information at the point of invention for the establishment and defence of potential intellectual property (IP).
Furthermore, the digitisation of information within the research and development functions at Wells' Dairy supports its QA (quality assurance) activities.
Deployment of E-Workbook Suite at Wells' Dairy has enabled the capture, analysis and reporting of data across the R+D function.
As a result of E-Workbook's range of workflows and user roles, the system is said to be easy to use and consequently has a high level of user adoption.
It also allows the application to be used across culinary arts, manufacturing, materials planning and collating consumer feedback.
'We were particularly impressed with the ability to consolidate information by simply using drag and drop functionality,' said John Kennedy II, Culinologist from Wells' Dairy.
'The ease of use has led to E-Workbook being adopted throughout the organisation, from research through to manufacturing.
'In addition, the clear audit trials and traceability available with E-Workbook secures data and prevents experiments and tests being repeated,' he added.
