New Functionality

Workflow Management

Graphic Workflow Designer
Visually design and manage workflows with greater clarity, flexibility, and control.

Laboratories often rely on complex workflow configurations that can be difficult to understand and maintain. The new Graphic Workflow Designer introduces an intuitive drag-and-drop interface that makes workflow logic, dependencies, and witnessing paths easier to visualize and configure.

Benefits

  • Simplify workflow configuration and maintenance
  • Improve visibility of workflow logic and dependencies
  • Reduce configuration complexity
  • Support process standardization across laboratories

Labelling & Identification

Label Designer & Print Labels
Enhance label management with greater flexibility and control.

Creating, managing, and printing labels across laboratory workflows can be time-consuming and difficult to standardize. The redesigned Label Designer and enhanced Print Labels functionality streamline the entire label management process, making it easier to create, customize, preview, and print labels.

Benefits

  • Faster label creation and updates
  • Improved labeling accuracy and consistency
  • Greater flexibility across ART, Cryo, and RFID workflows
  • Enhanced traceability through configurable barcode options

Operational Efficiency

Hands-free Scanning
Increase efficiency and reduce manual interaction during witnessing workflows.

The new Presentation Mode enables labels and samples to be scanned automatically without handling the mobile device, helping streamline witnessing activities and reduce interruptions during laboratory procedures.

Benefits

  • Reduce device handling during witnessing
  • Improve workflow efficiency
  • Support a more ergonomic user experience
  • Promote workflow consistency across workstations

Traceability & Chain of Custody

Unique External Barcode per Workflow Step
Strengthen sample identification and traceability throughout the treatment journey.

Some workflows require different identifiers at different stages of treatment. This enhancement enables unique external barcodes to be assigned to individual workflow steps, providing greater control over sample identification and chain-of-custody management.

Benefits

  • Strengthen traceability at every workflow stage
  • Improve workflow security
  • Reduce identification risks
  • Support more complex operational workflows

Connectivity & Integration

API Management Enhancements
Enable a more connected laboratory ecosystem.

As laboratories connect increasing numbers of systems and instruments, managing integrations becomes increasingly important. Enhanced API management capabilities provide greater flexibility and control over data exchange between connected systems.

Benefits

  • Simplify integration management
  • Improve visibility across connected systems
  • Increase flexibility for future integrations
  • Maintain control over laboratory data exchange

Feature Improvements

Workflow Management

Limit to Process Filter
Display only relevant workflow steps based on the current treatment process.

Users can sometimes be presented with workflow steps that are not relevant to the treatment being performed, creating unnecessary complexity and increasing the risk of missed actions. The enhanced Limit to Process Filter automatically displays only workflow steps relevant to the selected process.

Benefits

  • Reduce user confusion
  • Improve workflow accuracy
  • Support compliance
  • Simplify workflow execution

Traceability & Chain of Custody

Unique External Barcode per Workflow Step
Strengthen sample identification and traceability throughout the treatment journey.

Some workflows require different identifiers at different stages of treatment. This enhancement enables unique external barcodes to be assigned to individual workflow steps, providing greater control over sample identification and chain-of-custody management.

Benefits

  • Strengthen traceability at every workflow stage
  • Improve workflow security
  • Reduce identification risks
  • Support more complex operational workflows

Operational Control

Advanced App Settings
Provide administrators with greater flexibility and configuration control.

New advanced application settings offer increased control over system configuration, helping laboratories tailor eWitness to their operational requirements.

Benefits

  • Greater administrative flexibility
  • Improved configuration control
  • Support evolving laboratory workflows
  • Enhance operational oversight
