Beyond LIMS #02: Traceability and Efficiency in the Food Industry with LIMS

Laboratories pursuing operational excellence know that complete traceability, from raw material to finished product, is essential. More than a regulatory requirement, it is the foundation of quality management, consumer safety, and efficiency.  

That’s why adopting a LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is no longer a differentiator, but a necessity to ensure full data control, process integration, and compliance. 

This is the topic of the second episode of Beyond LIMS, Actiz’s podcast. In this episode, Felippe Domingos, Co-founder and CTO of Actiz, and Vitor Moreira, Technical Support Coordinator, welcome Christiana Fassarella, Quality Manager at Buaiz Alimentos.  

Together, they explain how implementing Actiz LIMS at Buaiz transformed the company’s quality management, delivering end-to-end traceability and digitizing the laboratory processes of one of the largest food companies in Espírito Santo, Brazil.
