Thermo Fisher Scientific offers Watson LIMS, a laboratory information management system designed to support bioanalytic studies and research.
It is avery obvious solutions to the quality management. Through this it is very easy to trace the desired output data. We can easily handle the inspection data sampling data occurance data etc.
Globally, the system is not very well suited. Lack of appropriate interfaces for instrument detectors is a good example. Watson lims can maintain sample traceability correctly however, it is clearly not designed for high throughput sample analysis. Our laboratory global efficiency significantly decreased upon Watson Lims implementation. New ''Analytical samples'' functionality was now well designed and have a lot of limitations. The Software validation provided and executed by the vendor is weak and showed major execution error also with poor documentation practice. Very disappointing.
See i have not two vast expertise on that because i have use this since last couple of years. So i could not say so much about it. But i will share some issues which i faced recently
During implementation we are trying to merge this with sap. So idoc is not functioning in correct manner. Sometimes it will not able to trace the received idoc.
During creation of sublots for sap sometimes batches are splitting with the given direction. So we need to do this manually in sap
The updation time is quite high about 20 mins it should be definitely reduced
Watson have a lot of things to improve. The software has a old user interface absolutely not up to the current software standard. The backend is even worst.
The software has a old user interface absolutely not up to the current software standard. The backend is even worst. The system crash regularly.
The licensing service do not works properly, half of the time we need to restart the licensing server to provide access to new users.
The process that needs to be used to allow samples analysis a result reporting is rigid and clearly not enough flexible.
Multiple excel macro were internally created to cover aspect not supported by the software.
Interface between Thermo Fisher Watson Lims and Thermo Fisher Q Exactive instrument do not works. Watson Lims cannot interface neither with current version of WinNonLin software. This is a major lack.
They have some advantages like maintaining the quality data in more effective way. We doesn't bother the procedures were used and also it has the ability to store the physical examination data.
The only positive impact is for client facing. Watson lims is well known in the industry and the purchase of this software increase the credibility of our organization.
The ROI is a disaster. First: The cost of the software is significantly to high, the user licences cost also contribute in the ROI disaster. Second: The implementation of watson lims significantly decrease our laboratory efficiency.
