Thanks to the Association for Laboratory Automation (ALA)
for donating me a travel award and so giving me the opportunity
to present my poster at the LabAutomation2005 conference.
Abstract
Test results in a laboratory are often manually documented and transferred into
electronic systems afterwards. By combining the current best available
technology for remote enterprise environment access WebServices and a mobile
client it is possible to bring it down to one step. The direct acquisition of
data not only leads to this reduction of work load, but also to more security
as a result of the consequential comparism with deposited specifications.
A WLAN and PDA- based solution using the SAP Web Application server was developed
upon an existing SAP/QM system. The solution offers additional user comfort with
lookups on related information, which in turn leads to more security. For
example, an instruction for a given action can be displayed on user request.
Result submission is triggered by reading a sample barcode with the scanner
integrated in the PDA. Depending on the read identification the correct
inspection plan is fetched and presented to the user.
