Vesuvius invests in Lab-i

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.
