What Is a LIMS, Exactly?

A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) manages all the data generated in a lab: samples, methods, measurement values, recipes, analyses, and personnel assignments. It connects measurement instruments, automates data flows, and makes sure nothing gets lost or recorded incorrectly.

A LIMS reaches its full potential when it communicates openly with existing systems — spectrometers, hardness testers, ERP systems like SAP, production software, MES solutions. That’s been the design principle of [FP]-LIMS from day one.

Today, over 8,500 labs worldwide run our system — from mid-size steel mills to global automotive corporations, from fertilizer production to university research.

Sample Management

Complete capture and traceability of every sample across its entire lifecycle.

Workflow Automation

Multi-stage processes with assigned ownership, deadlines, and automated escalation.

Instrument Integration

OES spectrometers, hardness testers, tensile testing machines, and more — vendor-independent.
