How to plan maintenance in laboratories to ensure accuracy and efficiency? 1200 800 Eurofins EcoGestor

In a laboratory, even the smallest failure can compromise key results. That’s why more and more organizations are seeking tools to ensure the proper functioning of their equipment. The key? Proper maintenance planning. Keep reading to find out how to achieve it.

The challenge of keeping laboratory equipment in optimal condition

Centrifuges failing in the middle of a critical sample, scales with imperceptible misalignments, or ovens with inconsistent temperatures. These situations not only slow down work but also compromise the quality of analytical results. In this context, planning laboratory maintenance becomes both an operational and strategic necessity.

The solution lies in incorporating tools that provide full control over assets, such as EcoGestor CMMS, a specialized maintenance software that facilitates both preventive and corrective maintenance, allowing technical teams to focus on their true priority: quality.

EcoGestor CMMS: Total Planning and Control in Laboratories

EcoGestor CMMS has become the ideal solution for managing laboratory equipment. Thanks to its features specifically designed for this environment, it enables:

  • Plan and schedule maintenance tasks efficiently and custom-made, avoiding delays and human errors.
  • Monitor calibration dates for equipment such as balances, ovens, climate chambers, or centrifuges.
  • Verify equipment availability, optimizing usage and avoiding unexpected downtime.
  • Manage corrective maintenance, acting quickly in response to issues and minimizing downtime.
  • Visualize the real-time status of equipment, with key indicators that enable better decision-making.
  • Identify each piece of equipment with QR code labels, simplifying access to its technical sheet, pending tasks, or maintenance history. Managing maintenance, both preventive and corrective, has never been easier

In addition, EcoGestor GMAO has already been successfully implemented in large reference laboratories, demonstrating its ability to adapt to demanding environments.

Compliance: a growing need for risk-conscious companies

Regulatory compliance: a growing need for risk-conscious companies

In an increasingly dynamic and complex regulatory environment, auditing compliance is no longer a choice, but a necessity. Organizations that do not verify their legal obligations run the risk of sanctions, reputational damage and loss of competitiveness. But how can they deal with all this effectively?

Why regulatory compliance is crucial today

Companies operate in regulated environments where environmental, occupational health and safety, quality or waste management laws are constantly changing. A regional decree, a change in enviromental codes, a new ISO requirement… any regulatory change can have a direct impact on your business.

In addition to the legal obligation, verifying regulatory compliance helps to anticipate risks, prevent accidents, improve internal organization and, most importantly, demonstrate the company’s commitment to responsible and sustainable management.

The limits of traditional management

Many companies still manage regulations usingf Excel sheets, manually downloaded PDFs or occasional checks. This approach exposes them to errors, oversights and lack of traceability. Moreover, it is often disconnected from day-to-day operations, making it difficult to prove compliance in the event of audits, inspections or certifications.

Digitization as an ally of compliance

To overcome these obstacles, more and more companies are adopting digital solutions that simplify and automate regulatory management. A centralized platform enables them to:

  • Keep legislation applicable to their business up to date..
  • Receive automatic notifications of legislative changes.
  • Manage corrective actions with full traceability.
  • Prepare confidently for external checks and audits.
