LabSystems announces Aspen Technology alliance
LabSystems announces Aspen Technology alliance
Process industry's first integrated solution for linking laboratory and plant information management systems enables customers to better understand and optimize plant production.
LabSystems, a supplier of laboratory automation systems, announces a strategic alliance with Aspen Technology, Inc., (NASDAQ:AZPN), a provider of software and services for the smart manufacturing systems market, to link plant and laboratory information systems.
Under the terms of the alliance, the companies will integrate and market AspenTech's InfoPlus21™, process information manager and LabSystem's SampleManager Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).
It is believed that the integrated solution will be the process industry's first to allow lab and plant personnel to easily access and analyze each other's data. For example, plant engineers will be able to quickly reference lab data to help them adjust the operation of the plant to maintain quality and optimize the economic performance. Similarly, the integration will enable laboratory workers to better understand how the plant is actually running, and therefore how to best focus future analyses.
LabSystems and AspenTech will integrate LabSystems' SampleManager LIMS and AspenTech's historian from the InfoPlus.21 process information management system. InfoPlus.21 is a cornerstone of AspenTech's Plantelligence® suite of products and services for the smart manufacturing systems market. InfoPlus.21 accesses, integrates and analyzes data from multiple plant systems, giving users the information they need to improve the overall manufacturing process.
