From Shelf to Restock: Lab Inventory from Container Record to Cleared Limit

Follow one pigment container from its shelf, to the bench, and back in stock.
0:58

The problem: inventory that doesn't know what the lab used

When usage isn't recorded where the experiment happens, stock levels drift and low-stock surprises stop work at the bench.

Usage is recorded at the end of the day, if at all. The system says there's plenty of pigment, the shelf says otherwise, and an experiment stops while someone places a rush order.

‍

What this demo shows

  1. Find the pigment container and scan its label.
  2. Use it in an experiment at the bench.
  3. See the low-stock flag.
  4. Log the new lot to clear the limit.

‍

Why it matters

Inventory that updates as materials are used keeps stock levels accurate. Scanning the container and using it in the experiment deducts the amount automatically.

Low-stock flags give the lab time to reorder before work stops, and logging the new lot keeps traceability from container to experiment.

Read the transcript

Uncountable holds your lab's experiment data and your inventory right beside it. Follow one pigment from shelf to bench and back in stock. Every container is a record. What it holds, how much is left, where it sits, and its barcode. Each shelf has a map of what sits where. Scan the label at the bench and that exact container comes up.

Use it in an experiment and the amount comes off that container. Its history shows every change. Who made it and which experiment used it. A lower limit flags the pigment as soon as stock drops below it. When the new lot arrives, log it with its amount and its shelf. Refresh the limit and its status is back to okay.

Every container tracked from shelf to experiment. Request a demo at Uncountable.com.

FAQs

How does Uncountable track lab inventory?

Every container is a record showing what it holds, how much is left, where it sits and its barcode.

Does using a material in an experiment update stock?

Yes. Use it in an experiment and the amount comes off that container, with the change in its history.

How are low-stock alerts handled?

A lower limit flags the material as soon as stock drops below it. Log the new lot, refresh the limit, and its status returns to OK.
