'Sweeping vision' for scientific data management technology including new tools to improve analytical data management, workflow and collaboration to be unveiled at Achema 2003
At Achema 2003, Creon Lab Control will unveil its product management strategy on intelligent analytical data management technology.
The new Q-Dis backbone technology solution leverages the Creon Lab Control product architecture and application design to let customers manage scientific data handling from the point of collection to evaluation, interlinking, archiving, retrieval of information, and documentation for R and D and quality management organizations.
Furthermore, a new approach towards combinatorial material research management will be demonstrated by Markus Hemmer, product innovation manager.
Creon Lab Control's Q-Dis backbone technology will highlight how technology is now bridging a gap in the traditional R and D development process by allowing users to work in a unique environment that enables greater flexibility and enhanced collaboration.
Based on the Q-Dis backbone technology, Creon Lab Control will showcase: E-lab notebook: Q-Dis/Dragon.
E-record management: Q-Dis/Panda.
Next generation Lims: Q-Dis/QM. Automatic LC-MS dereplicator: Q-Dis/Marlin.
Sop management: Q-Dis/AQV.
Analytical workflow management: Q-Dis/R.
Scientific viewer: InSpector, and expert system: Spectacle.
The Creon Lab Control approach to analytical data management offers key advantages over existing alternatives that range from conventional paper- and spreadsheet-based systems to expensive server solutions.
Sharing information when using any of these systems generally forces users to replicate data.
Whether the data is a single instance or an entire data collection, the existence of duplicate information is subject to costly errors. Complex communication about approvals, modification tracking, and version history is handled in a manual, ad-hoc fashion with emails, phone calls, faxes and file transfers that adds unnecessary confusion to the process.
This process requires significant IT overhead, making it nearly impossible to give all members of a complex organisation adequate access to information. By building analytical data management functionality in a centralized, web-native environment, Creon Lab Control says it offers significant advantages over its competitors.
Centralised storage of product data eliminates the need of data duplication and ensures that all users are working with the same up-to-date information; the web-native application platform makes sharing data within geographically distributed organisations fast and simple.
"Collaboration is not an option for organisations that wish to be competitive - it's imperative," said Thorsten Froehlich, member of the board responsible for marketing and product innovation.
"This requires increasingly effective communication around modification of data throughout R and D.
That's why any solution for managing analytical data has to do more than just to allow collaboration - it has to enhance it.
And, only a solution built on a web-native platform - with an understanding of the complete R and D process - can enable true collaboration around modification of data." Creon Lab Control will offer live demonstrations of the complete analytical data management product range.
The demonstrations will show participants how to create more value of its existing analytical data as well as how to reduce ongoing costs and improve service.
Creon is on stand G32-33 in hall 6.3 at Achema.
