Quality Tracking App Adds Korean, Swedish, Japanese And Dutch Language Support

Audit Weaver, LLC., makers of the auditweaver app for iPhone, iPad, Android, PC and Mac, released into 16 languages to support global supplier connections.

Audit Weaver, LLC., makers of the auditweaver app for iPhone, iPad, Android, PC and Mac, have added their 16th language to further support global supplier connections.

"The latest localizations into Korean, Japanese, Dutch and Swedish are important to Audit Weaver's goal of connecting suppliers to improve productivity and compliance, regardless of company location or language preference. We strongly believe that connecting quality systems in the cloud will be a key driver in future manufacturing excellence" says Mike Weaver, founder of Audit Weaver, LLC.

Quality data management will be at the core in revolutionizing our lives. The convergence effect will involve two key areas: technology and regulatory. Scalable, low-cost infrastructure technology will enable laboratories to efficiently identify, understand, manipulate, improve and control the global supply chain as it relates to research, manufacturing and living organisms.

Building upon this architecture is a rich mobile and micro-technology boom, enabling realtime, in-depth monitoring of processes. Meanwhile, globalization and international regulatory and safety standards will continue to profoundly affect corporations as public safety concerns over supplier and final product quality climbs. Economics will serve as a tertiary driver, pushing more efficient computing due to energy price spikes, along with the potential to move the millions of corporations off of manual, labor-intensive and costly paper-driven data management systems.

The overall effects are exciting to consider, and may include significant improvements in both quality of life and life span, augmented product safety, an acceleration of globalization, collaboration, redistribution of wealth, shifts in power, and positive environmental impacts. What's hiding under all that lab data will no doubt be astounding!

Perhaps the most important benefit of this technology is the increased regulatory spotlight effect caused by raising the bar for well-organized and easily accessible lab and process data. This can effectively incentivize good research and manufacturing by more easily exposing fraud and rewarding those that pay close attention to operations. All good economists know that the way to effective management is through the use of proper incentives.

Regulatory agencies are tightening their guidelines in response to increasing safety issues, perhaps due in part to the emerging global supply chain. Apart from pure safety, there has been a boom in chain-of-custody theft, adulterated raw and finished materials, and outright fraud. Regulatory agencies around the world are beginning to collaborate on expectations (EMA/299895/2009-2010) and lately there has been an emergence of volunteer organizations like Rx-360 to help establish auditing standards. In areas of food processing, new guidance concerning supplier compliance is being enforced, not just limiting the reviews to only the final finished good (FDA, 2011). Those close to the food industry are well aware of the changes proposed by the US Food Safety & Modernization Act.

The field-leveling benefits provided by the cloud - along with the staggering advancement in mobile computing power and platforms - is truly astonishing. While social media may have sparked the recent growth and development in the cloud and even acted as a driver for smarter mobile devices, lab data management will be at the core of revolutionizing our lives.
