User-Centric Design

Easy and scalable configuration of agents to monitor laboratory devices. Reduce efforts to find data through intelligent tagging with relevant metadata. Ensure complete traceability of all data to specific projects, studies, or experiments.

Workflow Management

Starting pre defined Workflows through montoring processes on lab Instruments to e.g. Approve the archiving of Instrument data.

The exponential growth of data generated by analytical instruments, laboratory systems, and electronic documentation requires a solution that ensures traceability, integrity, and regulatory compliance. 

Watcher 4.0 delivers exactly that: a powerful platform for reliable long-term archiving of raw data, measurement protocols, and audit trails – fully compliant with GxP, FDA, EMA, and OECD-GLP standards. 

The Role of Watcher 4.0 in Modern Laboratories 

  • Watcher 4.0 identifies, collects, and structures all relevant laboratory data. From spectra and chromatograms to metadata and device configurations – Watcher 4.0 ensures secure, immutable, and searchable storage of critical data. 
  • Without such an archiving solution, laboratories risk data loss, lack of traceability, or even regulatory findings during inspections by authorities such as the EMA or FDA.

Whitepaper: Chromatography Software

 

The daily routine in a QC laboratory does not allow for longterm considerations. As long as systems are operational and data appears accessible, everything seems to be in order. 
Yet this is precisely where the risk lies. Many chromatography datasets are not stored in a way that will be viable in the future and remain entirely dependent on the technical and commercial conditions set by the respective software vendor. This creates critical risks.
