• Main processes for all our labs (and simulation) the same
• All test data for different type of objects are the same (sequence of taskswith settings, administration and results)
• One solution for all labs:
• Integration between the labs
• develop once, use everywhere.
• Better data retrieval were recipe, compound properties and tyreproperties are easily combined

What is so special?
• Different type of labs• Different type of (semi-finished) products
– Testing of physical properties of compounds– Tyre testing (finished product)

What is so special?
• A test procedure may consist of several steps (activities)• The activity settings can depend on other information in the system
– Previous results– Product information
• One test procedure can deliver more than one product property• XY-graph as result• Pictures as result

The software…
• Interspec– Generic information of (semi-finished) products– Control plan– Specifications (“limits”)– Bill Of Material– Processing
• Unilab– Storage measured data
• Instrument interfacing– Check for specifications– Support of the lab workflow

Interspec – UnilabInterface customization
Interspec interface specifies the test limits for Unilab
But we need more!
Extra parameters to hold extra information (When a test delivers more than one test result)
Sample frequencies according to Control Plan
Goal: no manual intervention in interface

Interspec – UnilabInterface customization
Apollo Vredestein uses a 3 layered interfaceSecond and Third layer is a customization.
Three layers:1. Create major version (x.00) – specification of limits2. Second minor (x.01) – using Template, frequencies from CP3. SampleType status => Current
