NEWS RELEASE
3LOG’s LIMS and WeighWiz systems implementation
at Apollo Forest Products Ltd. in British Columbia, Canada has
completed.
September 2004
On September 1, 2004, LIMS and WeighWiz went live at
Apollo Forest Products (AFP) site located in Fort St. James, British
Columbia.
With the implementation of LIMS, AFP can now manage the company’s
forest products supply chain in real time. This allows managers,
executives, sales associates, or clerical staffs to have clear,
instant, and most importantly, accurate information about the
company's operations, even while on the road or when working from
home.
Not only has LIMS integrated with AFP’s existing contract and
payment systems to provide a more secure and multi-user working
environment on all financial managements, LIMS has also improved
AFP’s capability of storing load, inventory, and stumpage
information, printable in a user-friendly report format. Data and
information such as log samples and year-to-date conversions can now
be imported from an external source, or exported to other
third-party applications (e.g. MS Excel), thanks to LIMS’s
importing/exporting feature.
With the advantage of data synchronization between LIMS and
WeighWiz, information of scaled loads can now be efficiently
collected by WeighWiz at Weight Scale stations and then transferred
to LIMS for further analysis. LIMS has also integrated with AFP’s
existing handheld devices to provide a seamless way to collect
scaled logs information and send to the Harvesting Billing System (HBS)
Internet site.
From now on, AFP will benefit from productivity gains by using LIMS,
a more efficient way of doing business.
