Day Two: Link Engineering showcases its browser-based Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)
Link Engineering

Link Engineering is at Automotive Testing Expo to showcase LabLINK, a dedicated solution for organizations to manage their testing process.

In an interview, Jerry Curtis, the company’s VP of software and controls, explained LabLINK’s key features, represented in the main modules: “LabLINK features a Test Request module or intuitive interface for creating test requests in the laboratory; Scheduling module, which serves as a user-friendly mechanism to organize, view and control all scheduled tasks within the laboratory; Lab Monitor module for real-time and historical views of machine status and efficiency through the use of customizable charts that can be created on the fly or saved as favorites; Maintenance module, which acts as a single point of reference for tracking the maintenance status of all machines; and Data Warehouse module, providing extensive data management and analysis capability across a range of data formats including Prolink, TDMS, CSV and others. It can automatically archive ‘cold data’ to a long-term storage repository whether on premises or in the cloud.

“Additionally, the Quality module provides a means for users to ascribe a quality state to a completed request. This provides the inputs necessary to review the various means for unanticipated test failures, providing lab staff with the ability to identify and address such testing outcomes.”

Curtis continued, “LabLINK is differentiated in several areas: all LabLINK development is performed in-house by Link employees based out of our Plymouth, MI headquarters facility; LabLINK is multilingual out of the box; and LabLINK’s application programming interface (API) is available to customers to extend their LabLINK deployment and to integrate with other legacy systems in use in their organizations.”

According to Curtis, “Link has long attended the Automotive Testing Expo due to the tremendous value it brings in both meeting new contacts and reacquainting with existing contacts. Featuring LabLINK in an environment focused on the testing industry provides Link with the best opportunity to showcase our capabilities to a targeted audience of industry professionals. We are looking to make contacts with others in our industry who are now facing the challenges we saw many years ago when we began development of LabLINK. Essentially, any company who is currently using in-house, legacy or otherwise inefficient means to manage their test operations will find merit in LabLINK, and we’d appreciate starting a conversation with them.”


Link Engineering is at Booth 4011.
