Mining and Metallurgy Institute Bor laboratory information system

Abstract

Dozens of samples are analyzed daily in the Sector for Laboratories of the Mining and Metallurgy Institute, based on which the reports of analyses are formed. Former approach to creating of these reports included a manual report design, sample marking and template preparation with Microsoft office tools, which can be time consuming and error prone. Automating these tasks through a software solution became a necessity in order to optimize the reporting process. System includes the automatic report creation, analysis result entry, standard and method record and its assignment to a specific employee. Regular updates would improve the overall picture of a complete laboratory as well as for every individual employee. System uses the 'Oracle 11gXE' database, 'iReport' ('Jaspersoft Studio) for report design and 'Oracle APEX' application design tool, while the application is deployed on the 'Glassfish ' application server. Necessary hardware consists of quad core processor, 4 GB memory and 500 GB HDD.
