Welcome by Chairman
Discover the enormous potential of Paperless Data Management
It is pure waste to perform labor-intensive hunting for information across multivendor, multi-technique databases, manual transcription checking and
manually creating reports. The need to be able to cross-functionally collaborate
between R & D, integrate with external partners (CMO & CRO's), support Quality
assurance and manufacturing, is exponentially expanding. Continues
processing, extended regulations, e-submission processes, QbD and increased
externalization, requires a start-to-finish lifecycle approach to reduce process
variability.
Today's significant social and technological breakthroughs will require a
fundamental re-think and re-design of how companies integrate new scientific
methods in their research and manufacturing operations. Paperless laboratory
is the result of a mindset change. The theme of the congress focusses on the
relevant aspects moving from paper towards “less paper” operations. A
selection of over 20 Industry presentations and 12 targetted detailed 1 hour
hands-on interactive workshops, will help you, to integrate your heterogeneous
laboratory landscape from begin to end.
I like to welcome you at The Paperless Lab Academy to get concrete answers
from domain experts, solution providers and industry peers, how to address
these challenges in your organization. The congress will start on May 13 and
last two full days. Convenient venue location nearby Schiphol airport. (Holiday
Inn / RAI). Several optional post congress training courses will be available.
Thanks to our event sponsors we are able to offer industry visitors a free entry
to the congress.

Abstract:
Double the size of our business, whilst reducing our environmental footprint
and increasing our positive social impact:
A number of corporate initiatives are in place to achieve this goal. The ‘Digitally
enabled R&D’ thrust is one of the responses in R&D to the challenges of the
Compass. Major global change programmes in Product Lifecycle Management,
Knowledge Management and e-Science have been established.
Among our e-Science challenges are:
-
How to embrace the acceleration in the advances of Big Data and IT which
are changing the face of exploratory Science?
-
How to continue to build and exploit on our Islands of excellence while
creating a core infrastructure and toolset which will reach everyone in our
Research organisation, driving change in the way we value and use data?
The flagship project for the programme is the global launch of an Electronic
Laboratory Notebook. This presentation will outline the progress and challenges
overcome on our e-Science journey so far.

Abstract:
Can you find the data you need in seconds, regardless of who, what, when,
where, why, or how it was generated? Can you click-and-create complex
technical reports or large sections of regulatory submissions in seconds? Can
you click-and-share data with colleagues in your organization? Or click-andcompare your data with data obtained from your partner organization? Are your
laboratory systems smart enough to prevent errors before they occur? Being
able to answer "Yes" to these questions is our motivation for building an open
framework for laboratory data using common information standards. This
presentation describes our development of a commercial-quality framework in
partnership with a professional software company, with funding and support
from the pharmaceutical industry. The framework is supplemented with limited
feature, proof-of-concept software to demonstrate how future commercial
software solutions could use the framework to acquire, record, search for, and
automatically archive HPLC-UV data. The framework contains three key
components: 1) a common, non-proprietary file format that stores laboratory
data in a human-readable format (e.g., AnIML-XML); 2) a metadata repository
that ensures accurate, complete, and consistent experimental context is stored
with raw data, creating an archive-ready file format; and 3) freely distributable
class libraries (software tools) that instrument and software providers can use
to create novel, innovative solutions using common information standards. We
will also discuss how we are evolving iterative solutions using agile development
to achieve this vision and to help create an open "ecosystem" for new,
innovative software for laboratory informatics.

Breathing Life into Dead Data

Job Title

Nick Nugent
ACD/Labs
International Manager

Abstract:
Recent surveys from the International Data Corporation (IDC) suggest that
knowledge workers spend 15-35% of their time searching for information. A
previous study by the same firm estimated that an enterprise with 1,000
knowledge workers loses a minimum of $6 million a year in the time workers
spend searching for-and not finding-needed information. These types of issues
are very relevant in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. As a result,
many laboratory experiments represent expensive, time-consuming repeats of
previous experiments, simply because the data cannot be found or, if found,
cannot be re-used.
'Dead' data is prevalent throughout the industry as the direct result of the
traditional one-and-done life cycle whereby one experiment produces
information that is analyzed and interpreted once; thus the resulting knowledge
is stored in a static format. Once the knowledge is extracted from the data by
the scientist, the initial lab information effectively becomes 'dead' data and is
no longer useful beyond the specific initial purpose. As a result massive
opportunities for transforming this information and knowledge to corporate
intelligence are squandered.
New technology strategies need to be applied to help solve the challenges
related to data management and knowledge sharing. Unified Laboratory
Intelligence is a technology framework that can address these challenges headon and requires contributions from a broad range of technology vendors. With
this framework in place, organizations can create a chemical intelligence-frominformation ‘live’ cycle that enables research scientists across an R&D
organization to easily search, quickly retrieve, and efficiently gain insight and
reapply it to improve decision-making, accelerate development, and decrease
cost.

Abstract:
Thinking about the function of LIMS systems, you immediately associate the
saving, processing and tracing of samples and raw data. But what with the
related documents? The SOP’s, the protocols, methods, reports? All documents
for which in a GMP environment, you have to demonstrate version
management, approvals and history track? Anabiotec has found a solution using
the document manager module of the Labware LIMS system. The big advantage
is the integration of the documents is the linking between data and documents.
This makes the daily use of the lab technician a lot more comfortable.

[email protected]
Abstract:
QA/QC laboratories in organizations that use SAP® are facing the need to
implement tighter integration between the data that they are producing and the
enterprise system. In some cases organizations are looking to further leverage
their investment in SAP by consolidating technologies across the organization
in order to reduce IT costs and to ensure timely, accurate delivery of data into
SAP in order to support decision making in the manufacturing process.
This presentation will discuss the Supplier Owned Quality Program (SOQ) at
Medtronic which is a new process of executing quality control analysis at the
suppliers premises via web portal access using the PerkinElmer iLab and SAP
QM connector to SAP®. The SOQ Program allow Medtronic to be more efficient
in accepting products at their manufacturing sites without duplicating tests at
product arrival. When an order is entered in SAP® the system will request
samples to be tested by the Suppliers per the Medtronic specifications; the
supplier is requested to enter their test results through the PerkinElmer’s iLab
web portal which is connected to the Medtronic SAP® system; if test results met
the quality specifications, the system will generate a SOA which authorizes the
supplier to ship their product to Medtronic.
The implementation of uploading quality control data directly into SAP® will
benefit product quality, cost savings, increase the efficiency and will have a
positive impact on operational excellence at Medtronic and its key Suppliers.

Abstract:
Today’s research involves combined efforts from multiple laboratories. The
concept of collaborative research goes beyond the ability of seamlessly
exchanging data between groups, labs or institutions. It involves the creation
of knowledge from real-time discussions between scientists who not only
generate data, but contribute to a project with data analysis and conclusions.
Informatics is at the centre of this process, facilitating the exchange of ideas
relating to a project in a paperless manner.
In this presentation we will introduce examples of how different research teams
utilise the web-based Dotmatics Platform to enable scientists to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
request work or tests to be performed
program, capture and store experiments
exchange results and information
execute extensive queries
perform analysis and reports, and…
engage in real-time discussions to generate true novel knowledge
The ability to perform all of these tasks via mobile devices, computers or laptops
in a secure and compliant way allows users to substitute pen and paper with
efficient electronic devices.

It is pure waste to perform labour-intensive hunting for
information across multi-vendor, multi-technique databases,
manual transcription checking and to manually create reports.
What are these challenges to create value for the consumers of
the laboratory data?
When considering data integration, we must first stop thinking
‘technology’. Integration is not just about instruments or other
software platforms. Instead, it is about integrating processes,
accelerating ideas and facilitating mandatory compliance
requirements more economically.
The power of a Paperless Laboratory is the ability to enable
organizations to implement self-documenting processes that
produces GxP-compliant documentation which eliminates
unnecessary tasks from the workflow, to result in a significant
cost of non-compliance to support corporate Cost of Goods Sold
(COGS) optimization.
Headaches about upgrading your software? Considerations for
software expansions and upgrades. Before you decide to rock
the boat, several key decision-making steps can help to ensure a
smooth and successful upgrade. The last thing to do is to start is
a project to change a working enterprise application
environment....
It is time to put more emphasis on the preventing facet and reorder the sequence of the CAPA abbreviation into PACA. It is
proven that his theory to adopt continuous improvement
strategies to decrease variability resulted in significantly better
products and financial performance.
For years, other industries, including the automobile, aviation
and food & beverage industries, have adopted, very
successfully, the Six Sigma QbD philosophy. An introduction how
informatics will drive Pharma development towards Quality by
Design.
Food companies are becoming pharma companies. Developing
pro-active approach adapting QbD as a standard model and
implementing new tools such as PAT, KQI and CQA will
leverage learning’s from both industries. Agile processes
integrating “intelligent Equipment” will result in a new systemlandscape allowing a seamless dataflow from start-to-end.

Cloud Computing - Managing the Risks”. Bringing the 2013 article up-todate,
the session will show how a significant number of regulated companies are
moving their GxP data and applications into the Cloud – and how specialist
Cloud Service Providers are meeting the needs of the industry by developing
compliant Infrastructure as a Service and Software as a Service applications.
In keeping with the theme of the conference, the session will also look at how
regulated organisations can do away with paper as they move into the Cloud,
at how paper based processes need to be adapted to become compliant Cloud
based applications, and where paper just might need to be retained in order to
assure regulatory compliance.

Abstract:
Modern R&D organizations are rapidly adopting cloud-based IT infrastructures
as they externalize a growing segment of operations spanning product research,
discovery, and development. This is particularly evident in the life sciences
industries where companies are moving from centralised, corporate-based
facilities to a virtual network of contract research, development, and
manufacturing organizations (CRDMOs), and academic institutions and
corporate partners to enable product discovery and development.
Software providers possessing commercial cloud-based infrastructures and
services are poised to meet the needs of the life science industry as this
externalized, collaborative IT paradigm shift matures. What is presented is a
platform technology with the capability to integrate disparate data (LIMS,
federated systems, data warehouses, ERPs, ELNs) while providing security
measures that enable remote access across a range of devices for employees,
and restricted access for CRDMOs.

Opportunity / Problem statement
In the laboratory the entry of data created is one of the bottlenecks in the
process. Even for organizations that have moved from paper to electronic
systems efficiency gains are limited. Users need to walk out of the lab and still
make notes on paper or queue at central lab PC’s that are used by different
users and for different applications. Hard copies of SOPs and procedures are
used for lookup and carrying around laptops is also not considered as an option.
In this workshop attendees can try out the applicability of a dedicated mobile
application on small mobile devices for the entry of diversity of laboratory data.
At the conclusion of this education session, participants will be able to
•

presentation with a chance to participate with your questions and ideas! Trends
and themes I see as important, emerging or available and not leveraged:
• Security around the portability of information tablets, phones, pc’s,
google glasses, USB, Bluetooth, cloud
• Efficiency, ‘green’ movements, doing more, faster, with less and with a
skilled labor force that is more technology savvy than ever and impatient
with a boring job, good pay or not!
• PAT, Process Analytical Technology, ICH 8,9,10,11 the vision of a decade
is evolving into action, what is on the horizon? Will it move the job of the
lab into the production line and see the analytical lab collecting cob webs?
• Paperless technology, evolved but still useful, in the airport we still hang
onto our printed boarding passes even with barcode read from our iPhone
or galaxy phone.
• Big Data – remember that old movie with Tom Cruise, ‘Minority Report’?

Delivering Scientific Data Anywhere using the
AnIML Data Standard

Job Title
Email
Burkhard A. Schaefer
BSSN Software GmbH
President
[email protected]
Abstract:
Making scientific data accessible to stakeholders in an integrated and unified
fashion is a problem many organizations are struggling with. Traditionally, we
see two types of data consumers: human beings and software tools. This talk
describes a platform which allows delivering scientific data to both.
The platform collects data from a number of different instruments in proprietary
data formats. A conversion pipeline translates the data into the AnIML XML
format, normalizing the data into a single structure. This data can then be
shared and presented on a number of different platforms. Desktop applications
on Windows and MacOS enable rich interaction and data analysis. A web
application allows accessing the data from a web browser. Mobile apps support
data access from locations where no computer is nearby. All delivery platforms
handle not only result data, but also raw data from many analytical techniques.
To complement the end user applications, a powerful data mapping middleware
is available. It allows propagating experiment data to third party tools such as
LIMS, ELN, databases, visualization, statistics and ERP systems. This approach
reduces the number of interfaces required to connect the different components
in a paperless laboratory and facilitates interoperability.

Discover the enormous potential of
paperless data management
It is pure waste to perform labor-intensive hunting for
information across multi-vendor, multi-technique databases,
manual transcription checking and manually creating reports.
The need to be able to cross-functionally collaborate between
research, development, quality assurance and manufacturing
is exponentially expanding. Today's significant social and
technological breakthroughs will require a fundamental rethink and re-design of how companies integrate new scientific
processes.
