Food Industry Laboratory Software: Quality Control

Enjoy with confidence

To ensure that people can enjoy food and drink in a relaxed atmosphere, the production of food and beverages is subject to rigorous controls. Competitive pressure, high product quality, a large number of customers to serve, rapid sample processing, and result evaluation are top priorities. Appropriateinterfacesenable data exchange between LABbase® and devices from a wide variety of manufacturers, as well as the connection of the LIMS to various third-party systems, such as ERP.

Our products for quality control and quality assurance in the food industry
Every product is only as good as the quality of its manufacturing and testing. Every company in the food industry is under the scrutiny of customers and the public, and commercial success depends on product safety as well as cost. Fast and reliable laboratory processes are expected and are among the most important factors for the success of any company. Quality control and quality assurance tasks accompany the manufacturing process from raw material receipt through in-process testing, filling, and storage all the way to delivery and non-conformance management. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) processes are key factors in identifying and preventing risks early on in food production.

Our laboratory software products can help you with quality control and quality assurance tasks, thereby saving you time and money. Below, we outline which laboratory software can assist you in meeting the requirements of the food industry:

Management of specifications, test plans, and methods (LABS/Q LIMS)
Test Order Processing / HACCP / Stability Studies (LABS/Q LIMS)
Internal Quality Control of the Laboratory (LABS/Q LIMS)
Graphical and statistical analyses, reports (LABS/Q LIMS)
Certificate Creation and Distribution (LABS/Q LIMS)
A revised method must be revalidated (VALIDAT)
Method Transfer and Interlaboratory Tests (VALIDAT)

Research and Development in the Food Industry

Your Requirements in the Food Industry
In the food industry, new products are constantly being developed, and their production processes and quality are continuously improved. The goals here are to reduce production costs and replace raw materials. The cost of raw materials, the production process, and environmental protection all play a major role in this.

Environmental and Hygiene Monitoring in the Food Industry

Support from our software products
In the food industry, continuous monitoring of environmental factors (e.g., wastewater, air pollution, emissions) as well as hygiene throughout the production process is essential. In accordance with legal and regulatory requirements, test orders with defined sample types (e.g., spot sample, 2-hour composite sample, etc.) can be generated, processed, and evaluated manually or automatically for a wide variety of measurement points, samples, or even personnel. Deviations automatically trigger an HACCP process and are of particular importance for the continuous improvement of all processes.

Our LABS/Q LIMS software solution provides you with laboratory software that includes a dedicated module for hygiene and environmental monitoring. This allows for the automatic triggering of both production-related and scheduled tests at 1 to n sampling points via so-called project orders. A group reporting function, in conjunction with LABSGraphic, enables convenient graphical and statistical analysis of the data.
