LIMS as Part of the Manufacturing Application Landscape
Event Overview
Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) have advanced significantly beyond basic sample tracking. In modern pharmaceutical and biotech settings, LIMS must not only maintain data integrity but also serve as the core of laboratory automation and a vital element of broader manufacturing systems. They support compliance with ALCOA+ principles and facilitate integration with ERP, MES, and QMS systems, ensuring both laboratory accuracy and enterprise data connectivity.
This Expert Forum brings together industry professionals to exchange practical insights, experiences, and lessons learned on implementing and optimising LIMS — highlighting their role as guardians of data integrity and fundamental components of the digital manufacturing landscape.
LIMS as Part of the Manufacturing Application Landscape
The presentations and panel discussions expands the scope from the laboratory to the full manufacturing context. It highlights how LIMS interact with enterprise systems to ensure seamless data flows, efficient operations, and robust quality management.
Objective:
To position LIMS within the broader manufacturing IT ecosystem, showing its role as a central link between laboratory, production, and enterprise systems.
Topics:
- LIMS/ELN as the backbone of laboratory automation in Development and QC
- Integration with the supply chain via ERP: monitoring incoming goods, intermediates, and finished products
- Raw data management and long-term archiving
- LIMS and QMS: SOP management, change control, and complaints handling
- Interfaces with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Process Control Systems (PCS), and sensors
- Time-based data sources and historians for process monitoring
- Enterprise management information: linking pilot batches, manufacturing, and development
- Data warehouses for KPI tracking and management insights
- ISO 95 levels and the role of LIMS in the layered application landscape
Who should attend?
- Quality Control (QC) professionals, Quality Assurance (QA), Information Technology (IT) and Computerised System Validation (CSV) specialists, laboratory managers, and regulatory affairs experts
