dialog EDV Systementwicklung GmbH
Laboratory information management and digital workflow automation for quality assurance, quality management, and R&D across service, manufacturing, and environmental labs.
Overview
dialog EDV is the company behind diaLIMS, a highly configurable Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) built to digitize, automate, and network laboratory workflows. Drawing on over 35 years of expertise in LIMS configuration, diaLIMS serves a broad range of industries including service laboratories, manufacturing, environmental analysis, chemicals, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and government authorities. The platform is designed to map laboratory processes in compliance with ISO 17025 and GxP requirements, is GDPR-compliant, and holds ISO 27001 certification for data security — available in both cloud and on-premises deployments.
diaLIMS positions itself as a "single source of truth" for all laboratory data, consolidating sample information, measurement results, test equipment data, and quality management documents into one central database. This eliminates decentralized data storage, reduces inconsistencies, and provides a reliable foundation for efficient quality management and digital lab processes across the entire organization.
Key Products and Innovations
- diaLIMS Core LIMS: A fully configurable laboratory information management system supporting sample management, measurement data, QM documentation, and test equipment tracking in a unified platform.
- diaLIMS Web App: A cloud-based system designed for laboratory digitization, offering flexible access and scalability for modern lab environments.
- AI Smart Lab Assistant: An integrated, GDPR-compliant artificial intelligence tool that enables natural language search across lab data, supports experimental design, and assists with formulation simulation. The AI runs exclusively in secure EU data centers, does not train on customer data, and respects all user access rights. A transparent editing preview (diff view) and comprehensive logging ensure users remain in full control of all AI-generated suggestions.
