Optima introduces its new version 2024.4, which offers outstanding advanced features for resource planning in laboratories.
Optima announces new key features for a powerful, no/low-code LRMS to support laboratories in routine scheduling of activities as well as medium and long-term planning.
Madrid, ES, November 18, 2024 — Optima, the Laboratory Resource Management Solution (LRMS), today announces the launch of its latest version 2024.4 for laboratories that need unprecedented support for their planning activities, to achieve higher performance in terms of turnaround time commitments and backlog management.
“Laboratory services, manufacturing laboratories and R&D labs increasingly need to optimise their delivery times to end customers, while planning and reporting their activities nowadays takes too much time and energy of highly skilled staff, who are ill- served with too many Excel files.” said Roberto Castelnovo, founder and CEO of Optima S.L. “By implementing Optima, laboratories can quickly configure and automate the planning of their activities according to their needs. This significantly reduces planning time, minimises manual effort for rescheduling and supports delivery.”
The key elements of the new Optima version include:
High Performance Data Processing
Thanks to the Oracle RDBMS functions on which Optima´s infrastructure is based; thousands of planning requests are processed in a matter of seconds. Automated processing enables the planning of numerous instruments and employees at once, in unlimited numbers.
Powerful Planning Algorithm
As soon as Optima receives the planning requests, a series of checks verifies the quality of the data and its logic in order to compile the sample batches according to the criteria defined by the laboratory. Optima then plans according to several criteria concerning the configuration of each operator, the instruments and the types of analyses.
Instruments and employees are scheduled according to availability, shift, maintenance programme, skills, seniority and much more.
The analytical tasks have now gained granularity in their configuration, so that the schedule of a task can be adjusted by the number of samples assigned to a batch or, for example, by scheduling several instruments at the same time.
Improved Usability and Reporting Tools
Optima users have the ability to customise their own dashboard home page, create custom reports and save from virtually any page in the application thanks to the powerful reporting tool built into Oracle Apex. Additional visualisation pages have been created for further trend analysis, performance tracking and lead time estimation.
