Ensuring the tracking of all entities both physical and virtual is a core requirement for laboratories. Tracking of physical samples through processes allows association of test results and virtual registration allows tracking of IP and valuable knowledge. Reg systems need to be linked to inventory to track the physical location of any sample either at the laboratory or the corporate level – with many large systems incorporating robotics and automation to support the process. Zifo provides vendor selection, configuration, integration, rollout, validation and managed services for many registration, inventory and robotics platforms
