How we helped Morris Lubricants outperform  

As one of the largest privately-owned manufacturers of lubricants in Europe, with a global reputation for delivering quality oils, lubricants &  greases, Morris Lubricants’ internal lab tests each batch of their product to ensure the highest quality standards. Since adopting LabHQ, Morris Lubricants have been able to streamline their testing processes and reduce lab time, driving significant improvements in their blending processes, blending efficiency, turnaround times and reductions in correction and concession times.

Progress at Morris Lubricants

  • 50% reduction in transcription errors
  • + improved communication between the lab and production 
  • 75% decrease in data retrieval time

The Challenge 

With a firm focus on quality, Morris Lubricants’ QC testing  & tech teams were on a lookout for a LIMS that could drive efficiencies for both their QC  lab and production teams. The previous paper-based system made monitoring & trending  chemical and physical characteristics of formulations time consuming. Data entry was onerous and accessing  history of blends & raw materials for comparative analysis  was not straightforward. Morris Lubricants  needed a LIMS that could deliver efficiencies without adding unnecessary complexity.


Features helping Morris Lubricants Progress

  • Sample & Data Management: Seamlessly track samples from submission to approval and certificate generation. 
  • Workflow Management : Keep sample processing clear, consistent and collaborative with standardized workflows & optimized sequences.
