Abstract:
The Lab of the Future will be very different from the laboratory of today. There is a clear need to come together to meet, debate, exchange ideas, best practices, success stories and stories of disasters.
In addition, there are several reasons why the Lab of the Future needs to be discussed:
- Organisations and business models are being transformed.
- New jobs are created. And old ones are eviscerated.
- Many of our existing processes and business models are simply not up to the challenges of the future
- Laboratory managers of tomorrow will need different skills to survive and thrive.
- We urgently need to break out of our silos and meet, talk and debate across function, industry and geography.
Join us at the Future Labs Live Virtual Congress 2020 to stay at the top.
The event will cover the following topics:
- Artificial intelligence & machine learning
- The digitalized laboratory
- Automation and Workflow
- Connectivity & Collaboration
- Analytics & data generation
- Strategic laboratory & site capacity planning
- Cross-sector perspectives
- The Future Laboratory
More details about the event can be found here.
Finally, your lab is automated, but have you connected it and made it interoperable?
Everyone talks about "digital transformation", but it is rarely thought that this type of networking requires stable data and communication standards. Many manufacturers in the laboratory (automation) sector still rely on proprietary interfaces for their "digital strategy". The "digital transformation" is only possible through open, expandable and license-free standards like SiLA and AnIML. This lecture gives an overview of the standardization organizations, the current status and reports on different organizations and standards. Learn more about the application of the FAIR / SHARED principles and their advantages:
- Long term storage:
- Improving the human readability of data
- Maintain independence from specific device software.
- Low TCO
activate
- Data accessibility - Standards help to make data accessible.
- Standards help vendors write software today for technologies that will be invented tomorrow.
- Scientific Data Management (SDMS) - finally the (maintenance-intensive and hard to validate) parsing of PDFs has come to an end.
- LIMS connection - reduction of the number of individual interfaces
- Standards also simplify:
- Bidirectional LIMS interfaces: Discovery, control, results, traceability
- The data analysis
- The workflow orchestration
- An integration with CROs
