Jova Solutions's Software Services team draws upon its expertise in manufacturing automation and instrumentation to help automate the laboratory. We have years of experience automating laboratory, pilot plant, and manufacturing processes. We provide effective laboratory automation software to both early stage and mature organizations in the academic, commercial and scientific sectors.
Our Software Services team provide:
- Requirements analysis
- Application planning, design and implementation
- Integration of software and hardware components
- Network integration
- Enterprise application integration
- Web integration
- Ongoing support
Our software development team is comprised of experts in multiple engineering disciplines including mechanical, electrical, software, biomedical and chemical engineering . Our experienced software engineers specialize in scientific and engineering applications involving data acquisition, data analysis, instrument communications, process control/SCADA, motion control, and machine vision. This diverse experience enables us to quickly understand the customer's needs and provide services that are essential in the development of high performance laboratory automation systems.
Our custom software of expertise includes:
- Motion control and robotics
- Process design and optimization
- Machine Vision systems
- Data management
- High throughput processing
- Large channel count and high-speed applications
- Networked and distributed systems
- Scientific research and development
- Manufacturing
Laboratory and R&D automation systems often require precise measurements, unique communication protocols, and may require integration and control of equipment from a variety of manufacturers. We offer rapid deployment and smooth integration with legacy systems. Our modular and highly configurable systems scale from research and development labs to pilot plant and manufacturing operations.
Benefits of our software include:
- Accelerate research and discovery
- Reduce integration costs
- Increase yield by reducing waste and limiting manual operations
- Operators can quickly determine equipment and product status
- Integrate data from different sources into a unified software interface
- Legacy system integration
- Integration of Manufacturing Enterprise Systems
- Enterprise data reporting and management
Our laboratory systems can control all automated process, perform data analysis and data archiving operations and alert personnel to alarm conditions. We can ensure the safe execution of shutdown procedures in the absence of monitoring personnel and automatically update a facility's instrumentation with live process data. Our systems can be fully integrated with industry-standard networks, communication protocols and databases. Our web and wireless interfaces allow users to control or change system settings remotely, and to monitor and control current processes in real time.
