1. Operations
The impact of Binocs on QC lab operations has been profound. The system has automated the scheduling and sample campaigning processes, reducing lead times by approximately 15%. It has also eliminated the reliance on tacit knowledge, ensuring that operational data is stored within the system rather than in individuals’ heads.
This has allowed for more flexible and reliable scheduling, improving overall lab efficiency and responsiveness to urgent testing needs. As expressed by QC Chemistry Coordinator, Aisling O’Mahoney:
“I don’t think we realized how much we have achieved with Binocs and how much it’s made our lives easier in the lab. I could not go back to a paper schedule; I wouldn’t know where to start!”
