Dear Friends of Xavo!

It’s April. This means Hannover Messe 2012 for Xavo and hopefully for you as well. Our slogan this year is simple and clear:

OEE+10%

Isn’t this one a little bit provocative? My clear answer is NO, because together with our customers we have demonstrated that this ambitious goal can be reached during an 1-2 years time span – utilizing the software and the people know-how. The key to success is to keep all production processes of a factory synchronized and well balanced at all times.

Of course, this ambitious goal can only be reached if some criteria are met. The most important ones are:

• The plant has to meet some minimum criteria regarding the complexity, speed and size of their actual production processes.
• The plant has to provide real-time feedback about the actual order progress in their production cells.
• The plant people have to be fully engaged into the – at times exhausting – improvement process.

We look forward seeing you at our booth in Hannover. We would like to discuss how a joint team could possibly “let the air out” of your production processes by detecting possible bottlenecks early and resolving them instantly. Have fun with the Live Demos of our flag-ship product XPS (Xavo Plant Scheduling).

Best Regards

Also this year the Swiss Conference on Lab Automation was held at the University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil. Again, we at Xavo, took the opportunity to listen to exciting lectures and to engage in interesting discussions. The keynote speech by Peter Oliver provocatively showed a view into the future of lab automation. The walk toward this future has already begun, as he pointed out by presenting Sila.

Visual detection was one of the main topics of this year’s symposium, and interesting presentations were given regarding this topic. And once again you could see that issues from the industry certainly keep moving into the research of the life science industry. As most of you know Xavo is pursuing a similar approach with Lab Logistics and bringing years of expertise in logistics processes from manufacturing into the drug discovery industry in life sciences.

The presentations can be downloaded from the website of the organizing Institute ILT (Institute for Laboratory Technology).

For me it was a great day and I’m looking forward to the next symposium.

On the website of the Hanover Fair, please find Xavo’s Exhibitor Profile including booth location for usage with the services of the Visitor Information System.

The first day of our presence at SLAS 1st annual conference 2012 in San Diego was very successful! We had a lot of interesting talks about our new version of Xavo Lab Logistics v2.0 where we show the new user interface, the modular concept and the enhanced process flows to the public.

If you are around, we are more than happy to welcome you at our booth 1245. But you have to hurry, as the exhibition will only be open until February 7th 6 p.m. PST. For all that can not make it to sunny San Diego we recommend our completely new Xavo Lab Logistics Homepage with all relevant informations on the upcoming version of XLL.

Warm Greetings!

Thomas, Thomas & Yannick

Now almost a tradition is Xavo’s presence at the annual show and exhibition of the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (formerly known as Lab Automation).

This year, the show is held in San Diego, and Xavo is present with its own booth for the third time already. The highlight at Booth will be the exclusive preview on Xavo Lab Logistics v2.0 that will be released later this year.

If you are around, take the chance and take a look at the biggest step forward for Xavo Lab Logistics to date and learn about the enhanced user experience, the extended functionality, and how your lab can benefit from Xavo Lab Logistics, regardless of size, or number of users.

We are looking forward to seeing you on our booth at SLAS Conference and exhibition in San Diego.

Yours
Yannick & Thomas

SLAS Conference & Exhibition 2012 is a premiere of the fusion of both the Lab Automation and SBS to a single event. In the context of High Throughput Screening (HTS) and Informatics Xavo presents the latest version of Xavo Lab Logistics at the exhibition (06th & 7th February).

Facts of the event:

• Conference: 04th – 08th February 2012
• Exhibition: 06th – 07th February 2012
• Location: San Diego Convention Center | San Diego, CA, USA
• Xavo Booth: 1245
• Floorplan: www.xavo.com/slasinfo

After four successful days our Xavo Team returned, bearing a whole lot of highly interesting contacts. The demand for real-time scheduling is continuously growing; many conversations circled around its many benefits and respective deployment scenarios. Furthermore Xavo’s concept on harmonic planning was greatly appreciated.

We’d gladly like to extend out thanks to our many visitors and clients for their interest and the many conversations we had. The next TabExpo lies four years in the future but we’d be happy to see some familiar faces in 2012 at the Hannover fair already.
