[labnetwork] Perspectives on equipment management software

[Ahad Syed]

We use Badger at KAUST for the past 4 years and I must say it was one of our better investments. Brought down abuse considerably and enables us to pull reports almost instantly. We started using it at the Core Labs and the success has been such that the University is planning to implement it to all the labs.


All the best.

You could also consider Badger, which is the commercial version of Coral. See badgerlms.com

Hi All,

We are in the process of reviewing our approach to managing reservations, access, billing, etc. for equipment throughout the CNSI at UCLA. To date, we have relied on a system developed in-house that is no longer viable. There is a significant push amongst the shared resources on campus toward iLabs. We have also begun looking into FOM (fomnetworks.com) as an alternative option. I know this may not be the best venue for a dialogue on the strengths/weaknesses of these specific solutions (or any other for that matter), but if any of you are willing to share your perspectives or experiences working with either of these vendors it would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,
Adam
