Description
Since the beginning of user operation at SOLEIL in 2007, the chemistry laboratory, among the other support facilities, proposes an infrastructure to accompany on one hand users’ experiments on beamlines and to develop in-house research of SOLEIL scientists on the other hand.
In 2014, more than 380 proposals (approximately 1000 users) requested the chemistry laboratory. The latter is in charge of 170 instruments and laboratory equipment and more than 560 references of chemicals need to be provided, implying timely ordering, beamline supply, accurate storing of product references and turnover, codification and labelling. This type of organisation is indispensable (mandatory) in order to maintain the stock and to guarantee traceability. Professional management tools such as GMAO, ELOG and SUN set, provided by the IT group, are employed to optimise the functioning of the chemistry laboratory.
The presentation will sketch the complexity of using these individual tools in order to cover both the management and maintenance aspect of a chemistry laboratory in a large-scale research facility. Examples illustrate the interplay of the tools which results in sustainable monitoring.
