Real-Time Control for Laboratory Operations

Running laboratory equipment service means handling deliveries/installs, IQ/OQ/PQ validation, calibrations, PM routes, emergency breakdowns, firmware updates, parts logistics, decontamination, and handover — across research labs, clinical labs, pharma, biotech, and university facilities with strict access and compliance rules. Teams need live visibility of who’s on-site, which rooms/instruments are in scope (HPLC/GC, centrifuges, incubators, -80°C freezers, biosafety cabinets, balances, autoclaves, fume hoods), what parts are issued, and where work is slipping. That’s why Shifton delivers a field service platform built for Laboratory Equipment Service — clear statuses, precise assignments, and clean handoffs between dispatch, field engineers, and lab managers/QA.
