[labnetwork] Booking Management System

[Bowser, Jerry (Fed)]

Hi Owain,

As Ryan indicated, NEMO will address most of the features you are looking for.  We developed NEMO here at the NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology NanoFab to replace OpenCoral.  It is available to the public at no cost and does user management, reservations, interlocks, training, maintenance, etc.  Please let me know if you would like to discuss in more detail.

Best,

Hi Owain,

At the Utah Nanofab, we've been using OpenCoral, but it is starting to show its age and does not really have any active development going on now.  I've looked at NEMO from NIST which is open source and seems to have most, if not all, of the features you are looking for:

I also gathered some survey results on this topic at the 2016 UGIM.  You can see those results here:

Hope this helps,

-Ryan

Dear all, at the UoS Nanofab we currently use a system called Phoenix to manage our users, tool bookings, and report generation. Unfortunately due to an acquisition of the vendor there is a possibility that support for the software will be dropped soon, leaving us with the issue of whether to adopt development or replace the system. I know some other UK facilities are in a similar situation. Before Pheonix we had an in house solution but this was found to be inadequate in several ways (mostly tied to monitoring and funding).

I would be very interested to know if you use any other management software that could be recommended. At a minimum it must handle user details/training per tool, zoning, tool maintenance settings, user notifications, calendar bookings, budget code tracking, and report generation E.g. tool uptime/utilisation or a breakdown of tool spend per budget code etc.
