Cleanroom Management Systems

Notice Description

The University's Zepler Institute is looking to replace its current CMS system, called "The Living Database", designed by PhoeniX BV. This system is no longer supported by PhoeniX BV. The Living Database supports activities both in Cleanrooms and other laboratories with the following primary functions: a. Tool booking, b. Tool & user management (downtime, user access etc), c. Training management, d. Tool income management via finance, e. Tool performance reporting, In particular, the University is building a larger customer base nationally and internationally, both in Research and Commercial applications of the cleanrooms.

This goes beyond the current capabilities of The Living Database.
