Digitalizing your lab: Best practices to optimize efficiency in test request management

Discover how to transform your laboratory activities from a technical constraint into a high-value strategic asset through structured digitalization.

The Laboratory: A Pillar of Industrial Development

With over 60,000 laboratories worldwide performing daily calibrations, tests, and sample analyses, the need for a rational organization of test data has never been more critical. In regulated industrial sectors, laboratory management is a major challenge: it is not just about performing tests, but about maintaining the technical security of the company.

The Strategic Role of Test Request Management

Managing test requests and results is a critical process to ensure:

  • Quality Assurance: Guaranteeing that every test follows a strict and traceable protocol.
  • Cost Optimization: Reducing the “Law of Diminishing Returns” by reducing test repetition.
  • Actionable Insights: Moving beyond simple accounting of trials to a true analysis-driven decision-making process.

Beyond Traditional LIMS: Integration & Industry 4.0

Bridging the Gap Between Data and Decision

Most traditional LIMS focus on administrative and accounting aspects of testing. To truly support innovation, a LIMS must prioritize the reuse of experimental results and integrate seamlessly with the production environment.

The Impact of Industry 4.0 on Laboratories

Digitalization is redefining laboratory processes in 3 key ways:

  1. Structuring: Moving from paper-based or siloed Excel files to a centralized, digital database. This ensures data integrity and accessibility across the entire organization.
  2. Valuation: Leveraging raw data to generate insights. By connecting the laboratory to R&D and Production, test results directly influence product design and manufacturing quality.
  3. Connectivity: In the era of the Smart Factory, the LIMS must communicate with equipment (IoT), ERP systems, and MES platforms to ensure a continuous “Digital Thread.”

Optimizing the Life Cycle of a Test Request

A digitalized process covers the entire workflow: from the initial source of the request to planning, execution, results, and finally, the evaluation of stakeholder satisfaction.

FAQ: Best Practices for Laboratory Digitalization

How does a LIMS improve operational efficiency?

By automating the workflow of test requests, it eliminates manual entry errors and reduces the time spent by engineers searching for past information (often estimated at 30% of their time).

Archiving simply stores data. Synthesis, as enabled by TEEXMA, makes data searchable, comparable, and reusable for future projects, preventing the “reinvention of the wheel.”

While many LIMS are designed for medical or food sectors, TEEXMA was built for the specific complexities of materials and processes in high-stakes industries like Aerospace, Automotive, Chemicals, and Energy.

TEEXMA for LIMS: Powering Collaborative Engineering

Developed by BASSETTI GROUP, TEEXMA for LIMS is a comprehensive software package designed to manage every aspect of laboratory activity.

Transform your laboratory into a center of excellence:

  • Collaborative Workflow: Manage everything from test requests to the final response and satisfaction survey in one unified environment.
  • Decision Support: Use integrated, customizable reporting to turn experimental results into actionable project management data.
  • Technical Continuity: Unlike generic systems, TEEXMA focuses on the reuse of results, placing the laboratory at the heart of the product development cycle.

By choosing TEEXMA for LIMS, you secure your technical heritage and provide your teams with a robust tool to drive innovation and certified quality.
