Although there has been a proliferation of the use of smart
phones and tablets over a variety of industries, field data collectors are
still carrying around many paper forms to capture data. Many laboratories are
limping along with old laboratory data management technology that limits the
laboratories abilities to work efficiently, quickly generate the best quality
data and maximize their resources. Over time, business needs changes and the
technology must change to ensure that those needs are met and the laboratory
remains efficient and productive. Although tablets are in use, they are often
only used for checking email, browsing the web or sharing photos. Using tablets
to let field collectors know what the schedule of collected samples is for the
day is not only smart, but more efficient and provides better data quality and
faster data management. This also ensures that no sampling events are missed,
especially those for regulatory compliance purposes.
Leveraging tablets and smart phones to replace paper based
data capture in the field means that organizations can:
- Increase their efficiency by conducting more
collections/inspections/visits in shorter time frames
- Save on mailing, data-entry costs and errors
made in transcription
- Send real-time information (data and images) to
the LIMS from the field for reporting and analysis
- Provider quicker services and responses to
customers, leading to higher customers satisfaction and also increased revenue
- No need to remember schedule collections or
inspections as they are sent from the LIMS
- Quickly investigate customer complaints and
upload data to the laboratory in real-time
