What's New in ARCHIBUS V.22?

Hazardous Materials

ARCHIBUS V.22 expands the "Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)" application beyond its original scope by adding full materials inventory tracking features and a mobile app.  For this reason, this application has been renamed to "Hazardous Materials."

Organizations that must maintain inventories of hazardous materials – especially those subject to EPCRA Tier 2 reporting requirements – conduct regular inventory audits during which staff inspects each storage location in the facility.  They record or update the hazard identity, quantity of products and containers, and, frequently, the custodian or principal investigator authorized to possess and responsibly manage the material. 

The process requires time of staff with skill and knowledge of hazardous materials. ARCHIBUS provides automated tools to greatly reduce the time and the overhead of these inventories. ARCHIBUS validated selection lists reduce errors and omissions that can have costly and grave consequences. 

Bin-level Materials Inventory

Both ARCHIBUS Web Central and the new Hazardous Materials mobile app support detailed, bin-level inventory.  With ARCHIBUS, you can find the needle in the haystack. Relatively few labs and storage rooms in a facility contain hazardous material, yet these rooms are in widely scattered locations and contain a large number of distinct products, each of which must be rigorously cataloged.   Even in large warehouse-style storage rooms, you can drill down through aisles, cabinets, shelves, and bins and pinpoint exactly the material you are looking for. Edit quantities and update values with a quick barcode scan.


 

Inventory managers, lab managers, principal investigators and emergency response teams will all benefit from ARCHIBUS' quick, accurate and graphical information on location hazards.

V.22 adds the bar-coded Container ID and Custodian for sites that track individual containers and responsibility.

Hazardous Materials Mobile App

Find Inventory.  Graphical drilldowns through sites, buildings, floors and rooms indicate at each step which areas contain hazards.  Floor plans highlight rooms storing hazards with a theme based on their Tier 2 hazard classification.

Know What you Have.  Quickly scan the list of materials that is expected to be in that closet, shelf or bin. 

Edit Inventory.  One tap on the document icon brings up the safety data sheet for that substance.  Another tap brings up an edit to change quantities or Custodian.
