Lab Quality
Harford’s Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) seamlessly integrate inspection, track and trace capabilities, automated sampling, Lab MC control and taste panel management. These systems assist manufacturers in efficiently capturing, analysing, and reporting data, ensuring precision and compliance.
Lab Quality Solutions – Optimising Manufacturing and Production Quality
Harford Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) are designed to streamline and automate laboratory workflows, data management, and sample tracking. LIMS facilitates efficient data capture, analysis and reporting, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
Harford Lab Quality Solutions empower manufacturers within the FMCG, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and chemical sectors to optimise their production and manufacturing processes. By automating tasks such as material usage confirmation, bulk material tracking, and informing lab teams of sampling requirements, we ensure compliance, reduce risks and enhance efficiency. Real-time monitoring and seamless integration of lab equipment enables proactive management of non-compliant products.
Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS)
Whether you are weighing, titrating, using gas chromatography or other equipment, all results can be easily entered into the Harford system.
At that time and/or, files can be reopened at a later date to enter results (for example microbiological growth checks).
Laboratory results could be entered into fixed terminals, PCs and tablets. Where possible and appropriate, certain pieces of laboratory equipment with digital output can be connected directly to Harford devices for direct data transfer, thereby eliminating the need for keyboard entries and further minimising the risks of operator error.
Streamline Laboratory Operations
Harford lab quality solutions enable you to streamline your lab operations, reducing manual processes and increasing productivity. Our software automates routine tasks, optimises workflow, and facilitates seamless data management, freeing up your valuable resources to focus on critical analysis and decision-making. With Harford lab quality solutions, you can reduce changeover time and improve overall manufacturing effectiveness.
Ensure Regulatory Compliance
Staying compliant with stringent regulatory standards is of utmost importance in industries like FMCG, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and chemical. Harford lab quality solutions provide robust compliance features, such as inspection, track and trace, auto sampling, Lab MC control, heldware and taste panel tailored to your specific industry requirements. Our software ensures adherence to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), ISO standards, FDA regulations, and other industry-specific guidelines. By implementing Lab Quality solutions, you can eliminate risks, ensure product quality compliance and monitor non-conformances from notification to resolution.

-
How does Lab Quality (LIMS) benefit laboratories?
Lab Quality (LIMS) offers several benefits to laboratories. It improves data integrity, reduces manual errors, and enhances traceability of samples and test results. LIMS enables efficient sample management, scheduling, and tracking, optimizing resource utilization and turnaround times. It also facilitates compliance with regulatory requirements and standards, ensuring quality and accuracy in lab operations, without paper recording.
-
What are the key features of Lab Quality (LIMS)?
Key features of Lab Quality (LIMS) include sample tracking and management, test scheduling, instrument integration, data capture and analysis, quality control management, and reporting capabilities. LIMS provides a centralized database for efficient data storage, retrieval, and sharing, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and compliance in laboratory processes. Most of all, LIMS is a service to production to ensure that only safe products are produced in a safe manufacturing environment.
-
How does Lab Quality (LIMS) improve data management?
Lab Quality (LIMS) improves data management by automating data entry, reducing manual transcription errors, and providing secure and centralized storage of test results and related information. LIMS enables efficient data retrieval, analysis, and reporting, facilitating data-driven decision-making and ensuring data integrity and traceability throughout the laboratory workflow. Effective laboratory tests can also ‘flag up’ out of spec results as early as possible.
-
What are the benefits of integrating Lab Quality (LIMS) with other systems?
Integrating Lab Quality (LIMS) with other systems, such as instrument systems, enterprise resource planning (ERP), offers several benefits. It streamlines data transfer, reduces manual data entry, enhances data accuracy, and improves workflow efficiency. Integration enables seamless data exchange, increases productivity, and ensures data consistency across different systems. Integrated WMS can also ‘block’ production and/or dispatch where results are out of spec. Thereby, saving expensive materials, production time and also protecting consumers and the company’s brand/reputation.
