Project Outcomes

Lonza tablet

Following extensive analysis and design work, tablet computers running software from IDBS, a global, independent, data management, analytics and modelling software provider, are being deployed at Lonza. The tablets run IDBS' Bioprocess Execution System which stores all data produced during the laboratory process in-house.

IT Innovation provided expert knowledge in resolving specific technical challenges on integrating system components with the holistic system, structuring data and meta-data for good management and retrieval practices, inputting know-how to the business processes design used for 'define-create-test', as well as ad hoc technical support. This work continued IT Innovation's long-standing collaboration with the School of Chemistry in the e-Science domain, and provided an opportunity to explore the differences between academic and commercial laboratory practice and how that affects the requirements and constraints on the underlying IT solutions.
