Lab Data Tracking System
for Manufacturing Company

Read full Case Study
The Challenge

  • Manual & Time-Consuming

Tracking templates created individually, with repetitive data entry.

​

  • Inconsistent Data Entry

No standardisation of fields or formats, leading to errors

​​

  • Scattered Files

Trackers were stored in different locations, making retrieval slow

​​

  • Limited Control

Changing formats or fields required significant manual rework.

The Solution

  • Automated & Efficient
    Custom master template generates trackers automatically.

​

  • Standardised & Error-Proof
    Unified formats, built-in validation, and automated error checks.

​

  • Centralised Access
    Hyperlinks to all templates and structured archiving in organised directories.

​

  • Flexible Configuration
    Easily modify file locations, fields, formats, and computations.

The Impact

  • 50% less manual work in tracker creation

  • Error rates significantly reduced through built-in safeguards

  • Centralised, organised repository for all lab data

  • Faster, more consistent reporting across teams

Lab Data Tracking System

for a Manufacturing Leader

 

The Challenge

A leading composites manufacturer in North America, operating one of the largest full-service networks of custom moulding and assembly facilities, needed a more efficient way to manage Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) data export templates.

​

Their main goals were to:

​

  • Eliminate repetitive manual tasks

  • Standardise data entry across teams

  • Create export templates that are accurate, consistent, and easy to maintain

​

The existing process relied heavily on manual configuration, increasing the risk of errors and inefficiency.

 

The Solution

Senacea conducted a full review of the client’s tracking templates, identifying opportunities to automate, error-proof, and standardise operations.

​

We developed a customised master template system that allowed the in-house team to generate, configure, and manage data tracking files effortlessly. Key features included:

​

  • Central Master Template: Streamlined creation and management of customised trackers

  • Configurable Settings: Ability to define and modify file locations, data fields, formats, validation rules, and computational fields

  • Error-Proofing Mechanisms: Automatic prompts for incomplete entries and prevention of accidental closures

  • Automated Functions: Auto-addition of new rows after data entry and auto-archiving completed trackers into structured directories

  • Integrated Navigation: Hyperlinks to all created templates for quick access

  • Comprehensive Documentation: Detailed system use and administration guides

  • Implementation Support: Assistance during rollout and testing to ensure smooth adoption

 

The Impact

The new Lab Data Tracking System received immediate positive feedback from the client’s laboratory team. It delivered:

​

  • Centralised Template Management: One unified system for all template creation

  • Greater Control & Consistency: Standardised fields, formats, and scope across trackers

  • Reduced Errors: Built-in safeguards improved data accuracy

  • Organised Data Storage: Structured, searchable repository for completed trackers

​

By transforming a manual, error-prone process into a structured, automated system, the client gained greater efficiency, improved data reliability, and a more controlled workflow, freeing up time for higher-value tasks.
