Built for testing laboratories: calibration, accreditation, and lab conditions

e-Lab tracks every measuring instrument's calibration due date, every lab's temperature and humidity condition, and every accreditation document in one register — so an ISO/IEC 17025 audit draws from a live system instead of a spreadsheet and a filing cabinet.

The problem this module targets

Measuring instruments miss calibration dates and drift out of accreditation silently. Lab temperature and humidity are logged by hand on paper sheets. Operating instructions, device passports, and calibration certificates end up scattered across folders. The result: every ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation audit becomes a deadline-driven hunt for current calibration evidence and condition records, instead of a scheduled review of data that was already current.

What e-Lab tracks

• Equipment & Calibration register — every instrument per structural unit, with inventory number, room, department, last calibration date, and next calibration date; due dates carry a color code — upcoming/in-due-date shows green, expired shows red, so status is visible at a glance rather than computed from a spreadsheet column.
• Lab & accreditation documents — operating instructions, testing instructions, accreditation documents, manuals, per-device passports, calibration certificates, and device photos, held per instrument rather than scattered across shared drives.
• Temperature & humidity monitoring — real-time IoT monitoring of lab conditions, with anomaly detection on the reading stream and calibration-due forecasting, as an add-on to the core register.

Who this is for

A laboratory head or accreditation lead carries the calibration and accreditation-evidence pain directly; a lab specialist needs to know, in the moment, which instrument is currently in calibration. e-Lab's due-date color coding is built for exactly that second use case — green means in-due-date, red means overdue, no lookup required.

e-Lab applies wherever an accredited testing laboratory sits, whether that lab is a standalone accreditation body, an in-plant QC/testing lab inside a manufacturing operation, or a materials-testing lab run by a construction/EPC contractor as part of its own quality process. It is sellable and deployable on its own, independent of the rest of the platform, for organizations whose only pressing pain is calibration and accreditation evidence.

What this replaces

| Status quo | e-Lab | |---|---| | Calibration dates tracked in spreadsheets | Calibration due-date color codes | | Conditions logged by hand | Real-time temperature/humidity with anomaly detection | | Certificates and passports scattered | One source per instrument |

Accreditation-preparation time reduction is not yet published as a benchmark figure — the mechanism (evidence from one source instead of a paper hunt) is the claim; a quantified before/after figure will follow real deployment measurement, not an invented percentage.
