In the foundry industry, a wide range of parameters and diverse data arise, which it is advantageous to collect and evaluate. What used to be accompanied by countless different Excel tables is now served by LIMS software with growing requirements and rising standards. This article details the use of [FP] -LIMS in a foundry laboratory with a focus on spark spectrometry (OES - Optical Emission Spectrometry).
LIMS stands for Laboratory Information Management System and is an IT solution for the collection, processing, administration and evaluation of all data occurring in the laboratory.
In the area of OES quality control, LIMS impresses as a cross-industry solution that speaks the right system language for fast and easy data import.
Seen in this way, the use of LIMS can be viewed as a bridge to complete laboratory digitization and automation according to the standards of Industry 4.0.
[FP]-LIMS - The software solution from Fink & Partner GmbH
[FP] -LIMS is compatible with a wide variety of measurement processes and supported methods in quality control for OES (Optical Emission Spectrometry) spark spectrometers are particularly popular in foundries.
When using the software in foundries, it does not matter which of the measuring devices you use for quality control, because [FP] -LIMS can be used with all common manufacturers, such as Bruker, Elementar, Hitachi, Thermo Fisher, Zwick or Spectro Ametek.
In leading foundries in Germany, as well as in other industrial locations around the world, [FP] -LIMS has long been used in practice and simplifies the procedures and optimizes the processes noticeably.
Fink & Partner GmbH from Goch in Germany has been developing software solutions since 1992 and grew up with software technical support for Spectro OES devices. The company looks back on a long history and experience in the foundry industry.
The well-known industry solutions are called [FP] -LIMS, and before that [DIA] analysis management. These two software solutions support foundry laboratories around the world.
