Successful first half-year for Veltia Labs for Life

They are the accreditation of PFAS in a broad testing scope, as well as the renewed participation in the EU-GR Co-founded Research Program called SmartLab 4.0 with its partner “D-Cube”.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that have been widely used in various industrial and commercial applications, including packaging materials. They are persistent in the environment, meaning that they are not easily degradable and can accumulate in living organisms over time. This can lead to various health problems, including liver damage, thyroid disease, and cancer. That’s why Veltia Labs for Life decided to become the first company in Greece achieving this accreditation.

The “SmartLab4.0” project basic idea was the automation and the seamless blending of machines, people, processes and data, formulate cutting-edge trends that drive the disruption of the modern industry. Industry 4.0 was actually the first industrial revolution that the country of Greece, was challenged to participate actively. “SmartLab4.0” aimed to create a wide range of innovative and efficient research activities, that would enable rapid deployment in the production lines of Veltia Labs for Life, while providing an integrated solution with direct economic and business impact. The core accomplishments were the complete digitization of the life cycle of the laboratories from the receipt of the samples, the measurement and opinion of the results, to the printing of the certificates and the automation of the communication with the customers & the development of a dynamic customer service platform (Extranet) with automated download of certificates and opinions as well as updates on the progress of their samples, in near real time. Along with these innovations, business intelligence developed with multi-criteria reports to support decision-making and optimization of production processes.

The Project is implemented within the framework of the Single Action of State Aid for Research, Technological Development & Innovation "RESEARCH – CREATE – INNOVATE" of the BP. "Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation" (EPANEK) 2014-2020 and is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
