eLabNext Enables Internal COVID-19 lab for Boston University
Boston University (BU) was able to establish an in-house COVID-19 testing lab for its students, faculty, and staff with the help of eLabNext solutions. Despite the challenge of integrating two separate EMR systems and testing robots, eLabNext's robust APIs played a critical role in enabling the lab to process over 9,000 samples at its peak. This case study showcases how eLabNext facilitated BU's testing objectives by providing a streamlined and efficient approach. If you're interested in integrating custom lab tools and equipment like BU, download the case study to learn more.

Key Points:
- Life science labs across academia, industry and government are producing, storing, analyzing and sharing a massive amount of digital data.
- Yet, many researchers still rely on paper lab notebooks that don’t have the capacity, formatting or sharing capabilities to accommodate or integrate digital data.
- An all-digital approach using an electronic lab notebook (ELN) can solve these issues through improved searchability, time-saving functionality, decreased data entry errors, and more.
- eLabJournal is an intuitive, flexible, all-in-one ELN that improves lab efficiency when documenting, organizing, searching, and archiving data, samples, and protocols.

Semiconductor Cost Reduction Strategies
For emerging semiconductor chip companies, the primary goal is to get products sold and out of the door. However, as chip companies scale, everyone’s attention turns very quickly to lowering costs. It becomes critically important that Operations and Finance work together to achieve strategic goals and to manage costs effectively. To do that, some advance planning can have a significant impact.
Along with a talented financial executive from one of Tensoft’s fabless semiconductor customers, Tensoft CEO Bob Scarborough co-wrote a white paper tackling this topic several years ago. It was published in the Global Semiconductor Alliance’s “Forum” magazine in 2009, under the title “Semiconductor Cost Reduction Strategies.” Some recent discussions with customers and prospective customers re-affirmed the importance of this topic to both Operations and Finance teams.
Astera Labs Case Study
When their production ramp took off, Astera Labs needed an end-to-end ERP solution to support their rapid growth and track inventory at lot level. After evaluating several options, they decided to implement Tensoft SemiOps with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Recently, Nathan Willems, the Corporate Controller, and Alice Zhang, the AVP of Business Operations at Astera Labs joined us for a video interview to share their experience with Tensoft SemiOps.
What’s So Unique About Semiconductor Manufacturing?
Unlike other manufacturing processes, semiconductor manufacturing is a hybrid of process manufacturing and discrete manufacturing. It adds value to the flow of materials throughout the process and can have multiple outcomes at various stages of production. In most cases, a standard ERP system does not meet the needs that result from this process.
This white paper provides an in-depth understanding of process manufacturing in semiconductor industry – from a systems perspective – with an example.
From Pixel to Production: Bringing Embedded GUIs to Market
Building such graphic displays is a complex issue that requires expertise in many areas. Designers bring stunning graphics and a set of features to product development teams that struggle to accurately translate requirements into precise visuals and behaviors of hardware. A carefully crafted artistic vision for a product is altered or abandoned due to various constraints related to hardware, software, team know-how and deadlines. The end embedded user interface runs slowly and arrives late, frustrating users.

Getting Embedded GUls to Market
Join Altia for this live event on Thursday, October 27th at 10:00 AM EST/ 04:00 PM CEST. Can't participate live? If you register, we'll send you a recording after the webinar.
Beautiful branded embedded displays and touch screens are a must-have for everyday devices in the car, in the home or out in the world. These screens offer more than just aesthetics; they enable access to features and functionality that inform and empower users to interact with technology to make their lives better, smarter and simpler.
Building these graphical displays is a complex problem that requires expertise in many areas. Designers hand gorgeous graphics and a series of features to the product development team, who struggle with accurately translating requirements to precise visuals and behaviors on hardware. The carefully crafted artistic vision for the product shifts or is abandoned due to a variety of constraints related to hardware, software, team know-how and deadlines. The final embedded user interface runs slowly, arrives late and is a disappointment to users.

How Medallion Improves Versatility and Cost Savings
After the graphical display revolution started, Medallion quickly found that their original GUI design tool was becoming cumbersome. It did not easily support the rapid design iterations required to keep up with the changes occurring in various vehicles and industry segments.
After completing their evaluations, Medallion concluded that Altia would best provide the agility and efficiency it was looking for. Altia Design, Altia’s embedded GUI editor, is the core of its design environment, supporting every step of the design process from prototype to final product.
DeepScreen is Altia’s code generator, transforming designs into efficient graphics code for any of dozens of popular processor target.
“At the end of the day, Altia gets the most out of our hardware platform, compared to the alternatives,” said VanderWall. “We’ve tried other tools and previous platforms—and Altia’s efficiency improvement is very good. So, we’re very happy about that.”
