Vesuvius is an international Refractory Company supplying specialised products for the molten metal, glass and renewable energy industries. Vesuvius invested in software from business solution provider QBCon.
The company invested in a laboratory information management system (LIMS) combined with business intelligence (BI) tool, EasyAsk. QBCon's LIMS offering, Lab-i, will help Vesuvius manage the quality assurance (QA) process by tracking samples and reporting on the results throughout the manufacturing process.
Lab-i reduces paperwork and increases overall laboratory efficiency.
The LIMS software is combined with the superior reporting abilities of EasyAsk. EasyAsk analyses relevant data from various databases and creates management information without backroom involvement. EasyAsk relies on natural language processing (NLP), enabling users to access data by typing a question similar to a Google search.
The powerful software will facilitate the QA process on all tests Vesuvius conduct. Examples of tests performed include hot properties, strength, density and chemical composition.
The Lab-i product will ensure Vesuvius conforms to international standards. It will improve the quality of their QA process, but also give them the ability to track samples within the broader complex testing process.
The systems will be successfully integrated with Vesuvius testing equipment by the end of the year.

QBCon supplies Lab-i solution to ROYAL SWAZILAND SUGAR CORPORATION LIMITED
The Royal Swaziland Sugar Corporation (RSSC) invested in a laboratory information management system (LIMS) from business solution provider, QBCon.
RSSC laboratory processes around 2 000 samples every month. These agricultural samples, ranging from soil to fertiliser, usually have to be analysed quickly. The RCCS required a LIMS to streamline their processes and improve turnaround time. They also needed a solution to meet the ever-growing demands from clients.
QBCon’s Lab-i could meet all of the RCCS's needs. Lab-i reduces administration, keeps track of samples through bar coding and encourages accountability through biometrics.
The user-friendly LIMS allows laboratories to keep track of samples from the minute they enter the laboratory. Knowing where in the laboratory a sample is, which technician worked on it and how many tests have been performed on it can assist laboratories in identifying bottlenecks and improve turnaround time.
The RSSC employs over 3 500 people and produces two-thirds of the country’s sugar. With Lab-i, the company can improve turnaround time on sample analysis to ensure it continues to produce the very best sugar possible.
