QCMS-FMS
Data integrity and centralized management for raw data from non-chromatographic QC instruments with audit trail and secure backup.
Overview
QCMS-FMS is a data integrity solution developed by Webosphere for managing scientific raw data generated by non-chromatographic, standalone instruments used in quality control analysis. It is designed for life science organisations that need to automatically capture, catalog, and centrally store real-time instrument data from multiple standalone PCs across different locations.
The system creates a centralised data repository with a secured environment, enforcing strict controls over how raw data is handled and accessed. It supports audit trail management on a central server and applies backup policies to keep data both secure and accessible.
Core Benefits
- Transfers scientific data from client or standalone PCs at different locations to a centralised server.
- Provides a compliance-ready environment for managing an organisation's scientific data and intellectual property.
- Disables cut, copy, paste, move, and delete operations on native systems without affecting other third-party software.
- Prevents mishandling of raw data by any user.
- Captures data from instruments with no PC or operating software via USB or RS232 port, with data viewable by authorised users.
- Generates and captures reports through a centralised database, saving them in PDF format.
Data Preservation and Security
- Restricts mishandling of scientific data by disabling cut, copy, paste, and move options on client machines.
- Maintains a log of actions — including modify, create, and attempted delete — performed on scientific data by analysts, recording timestamp, machine name, and operator or analyst name.
Data Download and Restore
- Supports download and restore of data with full backup capability.
- Allows download of a single file or a zipped full backup (with date range) for a specific instrument PC, preserving the original folder structure.
- Enables restoration in the event of an instrument PC crash or file and folder corruption.
Automatic Data Capture
- Performs immediate, automatic file backup to the centralised server.
- Handles data transfer from client and standalone PCs at multiple locations to the central server.
- Manages file versions based on the number of modifications made.
Online and Offline Audit Trail
- Manages audit trails on the central server for every action taken on analytical files or raw data files.
- Tracks audit trail data and performs data backup locally in the event of server connection failures.
- Automatically uploads data and audit trail records to the server once the connection is restored.
Non-CDS System Data Capture
- Captures data from instruments without a dedicated PC, such as balances and dissolution machines, via RS232 port.
- Stores run parameters, run reports, operator name, data acquisition date and time, and instrument name in the database.
- Allows authorised users to view and review this data at a later time.
Print Capture of Reports
- Supports printing of reports, results, and chromatograms directly into QCMS with dynamic metadata tags.
- Saves reports and results in the database as well as in PDF format.
- Enables searching of reports by tags or PDF contents, with download capability.
- Provides functionality to create and manage projects, tag templates, and assign tag templates to projects and instruments.
QCMS-FMS is offered by Webosphere Technolabs LLP, a software solutions provider focused on the life science industry. The system is suited to organisations seeking digital transformation and automation of their quality control data management processes.
