In the laboratory, every weighing is documented – and every manual entry is a potential source of error at the next audit. This example shows how weighings are taken automatically from the analytical balance, checked against the weighing range and transferred to the LIMS and SAP QM.
In many laboratories, weighings are still read off the display and typed into the lab notebook or LIMS. That takes time, and in audits it is hard to prove that the documented value really came from the balance.
What is required is a complete chain: inspection order, sample, balance, value, time, user – logged unalterably and without manual transfer.
Inspection lots and characteristics come from SAP QM, the weighings go to the LIMS and back to SAP QM as results recording. That way the inspection lot in the ERP stays complete without anyone transferring values.
Besides SAP S/4HANA and SAP ECC, we integrate other ERP systems too – for example Microsoft Dynamics 365, abas, proALPHA, Odoo or weclapp. The interface adapts to your system, not the other way round.
Analytical and precision balances with RS232, USB or Ethernet interface – manufacturer-independent.
Audit trail, user login and locked manual entry are the basis for it. We plan the validation for your area of application together with you.
This interface is an example we built for illustration – values and document numbers are simulated. For your operation, we develop it to fit your processes, scales and ERP.
