Calira helps core facilities, research groups, and university departments manage shared instruments, simplify training-based access, and support funding-linked projects and reporting.
Equipment is often spread across multiple rooms/buildings, making it hard to know what there is and when it's free.
Many are students. Keeping track of who is and isn't trained is vital to make sure no accidental damage happens.
Equipment usage needs to be tracked back to who used it, from what department, and for what project.
Set prices for each instrument, then tag usage to project codes, PIs, expiry dates, or funding bodies; perfect for recharge workflows.
A centralized calendar shows real-time availability, tagged equipment, and clear visibility across sites and departments.
Not trained? Not using it. Access enforcement ensures students, staff, and external guests/contractors can only book or work on the equipment they’re allowed to use.
LabTrack™ installs onto equipment-connected PCs, measuring real-time usage and, where needed, limiting access entirely unless users have bookings and the correct access rights.
Post equipment downtime notices or safety reminders directly into the booking experience.
Replace spreadsheets and uncertainty with a searchable, manageable directory of all your R&D equipment.
An easy, visual way to book equipment that keeps track of availability, reduces conflicts, and helps teams plan their work.
Make confident decisions with clean usage data so you can see what's being used, what isn't, where, and why.
Schedule and block off equipment for maintenance and calibration, assign tasks to contractors, and keep everyone in the loop.
Assign roles, invite new users, enforce training rules, and scale user access without losing oversight.
Keep everyone aligned and on time with booking reminders, maintenance alerts, calendar sync, and lab-wide announcements.
