The savings for this individual task already add up
to far more than 4820.00 EUR, which is
approximately 70 %!
Or, to express it differently, a conventional solution
is 3.5 times more expensive!
The primal saving potential is however
represented by its daily use, in particular in cases of
frequently changing processes and frequently
changing recipes. A new recipe control can be
establishment by the laboratory technician with the
help of LabVision's basis operations library within a
timeframe which, if conventional methods were
applied, would already be needed for the technical
clarification alone.
Additional significant savings are generated by the
smaller footprint of the LabManagers and the lower
costs in case of later upgrading.
EUR
Further substantial advantages in regard to costs,
time, and result from the fact that the PLT system
LabManager is easy to upgrade and expand in case
the plant should require this at a later stage.
The devices can expanded at any time by refitting
of modules, panels and cards.
The modification of the application software can be
conducted by company-own personnel.
Software modifications, new connection or exchange
of sensors and actors can usually be realised while
the plant is in operation without shutting it down.
It is only possible to estimate the savings on a
rudimentary basis, but according to the evaluation of
long term users, they are considerable. These
advantages are mainly demonstrated by the
LabManager System in every day operation in
laboratories and pilot plants.
