[labnetwork] Perspectives on equipment management software

[Luciani, Vincent (Fed)]

Hello Adam and LabNetwork,

Here at CNST we have written our own program called NEMO (NanoFab Equipment Management Operation).   Staff and users are very pleased with it.  It was written with Python and uses Django (a high-level Python Web framework).  We are currently working on packaging it to make it available to others but release is still months away.   I’ll post updates on this network as we get closer to release.  If you would like more details let me know and I will add you to our mailing list.

Thanks,
Vince

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
