All over the world, laboratories are under enormous pressure to innovate and do an ever-increasing amount of work faster, with fewer employees and at lower costs. This situation is further complicated by the fact that laboratory regulations are continuously becoming more complex and stringent. A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is a software-based system that enables manufacturers to effectively manage laboratory and associated data in order to improve the efficiency of their lab and production processes. An effective LIMS enables you to automate workflows, integrate instruments, innovate, and manage and share laboratory data easily and reliably. LIMS also aim to make laboratory information easier to store, track and assess over time and across experiments, so that you can continuously evaluate and improve operational efficiency.
Siemens Opcenter Laboratory (formerly known as SIMATIC IT Unilab) is part of the Siemens Opcenter Research, Development and Laboratory (RD&L) offering covering LIMS, Specification Management and Formula Management. Opcenter Laboratory is a leading LIMS designed for the unique needs of process manufacturing sectors that rely on laboratories for the execution of different production, quality, compliance and product development processes. Opcenter Laboratory automates the fast and secure exchange of quality information all along a laboratory’s production workflow. Capable of covering multiple sites and involving many different departments, the system enables more reliable data management and makes efficiency at work easier for the various roles involved in your laboratory and production test environment processes. Opcenter Laboratory supports:
Opcenter Laboratory can be implemented as a standalone system or as part of the complete Opcenter RD&L platform. It is often integrated with other enterprise solutions including Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Quality Management and Automation & Control systems to drive true closed-loop manufacturing. Opcenter Laboratory is highly scalable and can support multiple languages, multiple time zones, multiple laboratories and multiple sites across your global enterprise.
Laboratories play a critical role in product quality, compliance and innovation, yet they are often isolated from core manufacturing systems. Siemens Opcenter Laboratory exists to govern laboratory operations as an integrated part of the manufacturing lifecycle. It orchestrates samples, tests, data, and decisions within a single system of record, ensuring results are accurate, traceable, and actionable. By connecting labs directly to production and quality processes, it transforms laboratory data into a driver of operational excellence and continuous improvement.
It enables:
IndX brings deep expertise in Laboratory Information Management Systems to help organizations design and deploy Siemens Opcenter Laboratory across complex, regulated environments. We provide implementation, integration, configuration, validation support and optimization services to ensure scalable adoption and long-term value from Opcenter Laboratory.
