<p>Hi Owain,</p>
<p>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:</p>

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

<p>Hope this helps,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.
