Dotmatics offers web-based food processing data management
Dotmatics Ltd., a UK-based data management solutions firm, has introduced a version of its Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) tailored to food and beverage industries.
The web-based Studies Notebook for Food and Beverage system was developed in collaboration with representatives from the food processing industry. The product enables food scientists to store and retrieve crucial operational data via PC, laptop and mobile devices.
Scalable solution
According to Dotmatics Ltd. CEO Stephen Gallagher, the partnership with food processing professionals ensures that the program can be improved to fit their needs.
“The Dotmatics platform provides us with the framework to rapidly develop new ELN configurations whilst keeping a consistent data model,” he said. “Through this project we delivered an ELN that makes it easy for users to add their recipes and associated data, search through them and create striking reports that can be shared instantly with colleagues and collaborators.”
Tailored data
The platform upon which the food processing ELN is structured ensures that it is robust, scalability and useful to food processing operations, according to the company. A front-end tailored to food scientists enables them to tailor the system with precisely the data required to annotate recipes and formulations.
The Studies Notebook module can store recipes, documents, spectral information, images and user comments. All of the content contained in the ELN is searchable and can be retrieved safely on demand. Further, the system can help food manufacturers protect their intellectual copyrights and easily access and leverage knowledge accumulated over years of operation.
