Opcenter RD&L (Research, Development and Laboratory) is a scalable software platform to cover typical R&D activities such as development of new products, product maintenance and product enhancement. It provides functionality required for more efficient R&D processes and cross-disciplinary collaborative analysis. This includes software components for project data management, formula and packaging development, trial and experiment management, production process design, electronic notebooks, quality control, laboratory management, specification management, batch and inventory management, and pilot plant manufacturing. Opcenter RD&L (Research, Development and Laboratory) is based on the same architectural platform as Opcenter Execution ( Discrete or Process) Production Suite and so facilitates the integration of R&D data and workflows with the manufacturing environment.
Opcenter RD&L (Research, Development and Laboratory) contributes to brand value through R&D efficiency and innovation and its major role of specification management allows for built-in quality and regulatory compliance in formulae, product and production process designs. It lets scientists capture all R&D data in a structured yet flexible manner. These data are centralized for both intellectual property monitoring and protection, as well as re-use in current and future experiments. The integrated R&D platform offers cross-component data structures and workflows so that all stake-holders in R&D related processes work together and follow the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).
Paul Bron, Director of Global Operations, ATS International B.V., said, “For ATS, this partnership will present new business opportunities and a secure and competent partner for our customers, as both companies anticipate collaborating on existing and additional projects. Furthermore, local and global customers who purchase Opcenter Execution ( Discrete or Process) from ATS have the convenience of turning to one, single point of contact at every step before, during and after the implementation.”
