Abstract

One of the challenges in laboratory data management is integration across systems and across instruments. Today, most instruments produce data in their own proprietary formats. This leads to major difficulties to achieve integration and data integrity.

This workshop demonstrates how vertical interfaces and standard formats such as AnIML can be used to create an end-to-end integration: A measurement order may start at an ERP system (such as SAP), be orchestrated through a LIMS, passed to instruments for measurement, and reported all the way back up.

In live sessions, SAP-to-LIMS interfacing, as well as instrument interfacing will be demonstrated. The AnIML format will be used to connect five different instrument types to the system.

Session Learning

Participants will experience first-hand:

  • How AnIML can be used to connect multiple instruments of different using a single interface.
  • How LIMS systems can be connected to ERP systems to achieve an end-to-end integration.
  • How the combination of such integrations and open standards can enable full traceability and data integrity.
  • How AnIML data can be used on the desktop, the web and in the cloud.
