  • Descrição: Within a growing drug discovery company, hundreds of scientists take and move reagent chemicals on a daily basis. Conveniently updating the locations of tens of thousands of chemical containers in an electronic system is a big challenge. We have an electronic inventory system, but keeping the chemical records up to date relied on scientists finding an available computer in the lab and logging into a system whenever they took or moved a chemical container, taking several minutes. It was all too easy to think that the task could be deferred until later, but the scientist may then forget all about it, leaving the database inaccurate. As a result, searching for the chemicals we need can take a frustratingly long time if they are not where they should be. We have developed an efficient and reliable system, namely ScanStation, to solve this issue. It relies on a low-cost Raspberry Pi attached to a touch screen connected with a barcode scanner. This equipment is always on and placed in strategic locations around all our labs and chemical stores. This new process is much easier. There is no need to remove gloves to log into the computer, and it is just a scan on the barcode and is done. Now when we check the database for a chemical, we get an instant answer that reliably tells us where to find it. All the time we save have a real benefit in our productivity and our scientists can focus on discovering new medicines.
