Data Specialists, Inc.'s Lab Collection softwrae provides for the interactive collection of test data to a personal computer.  The collected lab results are then electronically transmitted to the host system.

The Lab Collection software provides links from the lab data test results to the appropriate test sample.  The lab results are compared to the previous producer samples, loads, etc., and the lab operator is alerted if current lab results deviate from the user defined standards.

The lab samples can be tested for fat, protein, lactose, total solids non-fat and somatic cell.  Utilizing this automated system reduces staff testing time, recording time, and eliminates manual data entry.  It will detect bad samples immediately, and most importantly, it reduces the chance for errors.

Features Include:

• Automatic collection of lab results from Foss, Multispec, and Bentley testing equipment (may be used simultaneously)
• Producer and non-producer testing
• Extensive lab reporting
• Performs equipment calibration
• Can be interfaced for Bar Coding
• Comparison with previous lab results
• Worksheet processing for Microbiology
• State Lab Reporting

All the features described to the left can also be made available for lab testing performed by a third party or 'outside' lab.  Most companies providing lab services have the ability to provide test results electronically (even over the internet).  That data can then be mapped to provide the information needed for the DSI Procurement system.
