CIQA Temperature and Relative Humidity Report Automation

CIQA provides validation staffing services in Puerto Rico. One of the servicesthey provide is cleanroom validation by monitoring the parameters of interestwhich are temperature and relative humidity. The data is gathered from theenvironment using USB data loggers. The data has to be manually extractedfrom the data logger to an external storage, usually a computer, and tabulatedto then proceed to the analytics and report generation, making this a tiringprocess. The current solution is slow and error prone, taking 5 days toproduce and very rigorous and repetitive inspection. CIQA will like to increasethe number of projects they perform per from 15 to 25 projects. Due to thelack of scalability of the current solution, the company (CIQA) limits itself onthe amount of projects they can deliver. Another issue is that when a clientneeds a faster response time from CIQA, CIQA has to spend resources notpreviously considered, having to pay overtime to its employees, increasingthe labor cost of generating the reports by 50%. That is why we propose todesign and deliver a computer system to automate part of the process for the cleanroom validation projects, from the data loggers information extraction upto the report generation.
