"In the life sciences and pharmaceutical sectors, many facilities have just scratched the surface of the insights their machinery and processes can yield," reflects Jeff Knepper, Managing Partner at Flow Software. "With Flow, life science teams have the key to unlocking the hidden treasures within their data, but the real magic happens when Flow's algorithms and calculation engine are placed in the hands of experts, like those at Skellig Automation. Together, we transform scattered data points into actionable KPIs and insightful analytics, ensuring clarity at the lab floor and influencing strategic decisions that resonate from production to the boardroom."

“Today, in collaboration with Flow, we are setting forth on a new chapter”, states Paul O’Sullivan, Skellig CEO. “The entire Flow team sees immense potential in our lab digitization initiative. Driven by this shared vision, we have chosen to partner together, aiming to amplify the impact of what we can deliver for our clients”.

Skellig's Laboratory Digitization initiative underscores the shift from traditional manual processes to streamlined digital workflows, emphasizing transparency and an open architectural approach. This ensures an impeccable integration of laboratory instruments with multiple digital platforms. Paired with Flow's superior analytic capabilities, Skellig is not only capturing data but converting it into meaningful, actionable insights. By merging laboratory and quality data with operational batch information, they facilitate a real-time analysis, foster inter-departmental collaboration, and ensure informed decision-making. Together, Skellig and Flow are poised to revolutionize the way life science institutions perceive and utilize data - transitioning from mere data collection to deriving actionable insights that drive results.”
