The value that CaliberLIMS® can add to the quality of operations in a Petrochemical Organization, and the Return on Investment it can bring is vindicated by an award winning Caliber Project in a leading Petrochemical firm of wide operations. CaliberLIMS® is highly flexible to address the needs of Quality - whether it is the fuel quality monitoring down the supply chain, or quality assessment across the process steps in a refinery, or in research studies on making the best fit lubricant.
Today’s manufacturing industries are under continuous pressure to control costs and increase efficiency. In recent years the industry has been witnessing a series of mergers, acquisitions and relocations of manufacturing plants. This has been accompanied by increasing safety and environmental regulation of the industry, driven by both government and public concerns. In the Chemical and Petrochemical industries, the laboratory forms a critical component of the business as it helps to ensure that the manufacturing process works efficiently and that the products meet defined specifications and safety requirements. The laboratory operations must support production by providing timely and accurate data on the production process and product quality. In addition, the laboratory may also provide an analytical service to the business to help with process optimization, process trouble-shooting and manufacturing process or method development.
To maintain a competitive edge in the industry requires efficient management of data and information used and generated by the laboratory. Other priorities include automation of processes and effective integration of data sources, information systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) and Process Control Systems. CaliberLIMS® supports the streamlining of laboratory information workflows while helping in maintaining both the quality of the product and a clean environment. It forms an essential part of the organization’s quality management system.
In addition, the built-in flexibility of the CaliberLIMS® means that the changes to business needs and working practices can be readily supported and implemented without losing existing functionality or data. CaliberLIMS® is fully web-based and uses a familiar user interface, which simplifies both the implementation at new sites or in new parts of the organization, and the user training. Thanks to web-based technology, Global and multi-site deployment is also facilitated.
