Toolsquare gives you insight and control over the use of your equipment

  • Get insight in actual machine use: Toolsquare collects real-time data about when, how long and by who your equipment is used. In the data dashboard this information is clearly displayed through graphs and reports that can be generated. This allows management to make data driven decisions for investments.
  • Link jobs to projects/budgets: Via the touchscreen, the user can select the project/budget they are working on so you can get more detailed data on runthrough times and overall project costs for cost allocation or invoicing.
  • Control unforeseen costs: Toolsquare automatically logs usage, which leads to traceability of use and more accountability from the users (VIB use-case).
  • Reduce downtime: Because issues can be notified easily at the machine, small issues won’t lead to breakdowns and/or the reaction time to solve problems when the equipment goes down unexpectedly. 

 

How does it work?

  • Universal connectivity: Thanks to the combination of hardware and software, we can connect any brand and/or type of equipment.
  • Access control: Users must badge with their card to get access to equipment. This gives you real, physical control over who can/can’t use each piece of equipment.
  • Real-time usage logging: The Toolsquare hardware automatically detects when a machine is running and logs all the jobs done on that machine.
  • Direct Issue notification: Via the touchscreen, the user can immediately report any problems at the machine.
  • Reservation system: Integrate an online reservation system for optimal planning and availability.

Why we need more cross-industry collaboration in laboratory science

Laboratory science is built on discovery, but many sectors still work in isolation, missing opportunities for collaboration. With global challenges like public health and climate change at stake, it's time to break down the silos. By sharing knowledge and approaches across industries, we can tackle these issues more effectively. We just need to be intentional, create spaces for collaboration, and overcome budget constraints. No one has all the answers, but together, we can get closer.
