A webinar by Autoscribe Informatics explored how a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) can help laboratories drive integration with external systems and instruments to reduce costs and better manage their data.
A webinar by Autoscribe Informatics explored how a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) can help laboratories drive integration with external systems and instruments to reduce costs and better manage their data.
The educational event was held to demonstrate the practical solutions are available to labs to reduce manual touch points and drive efficiency. Topics covered included IoT/Lab4.0 - the increasing need to network, automating instrument interfaces, interfacing LIMS to more complex external systems, handling traditional serial connectivity and the benefits of laboratory automation.
Polling of participants revealed that one-third of attendees did not currently have a LIMS, while nearly a further 20% were either considering getting one or upgrading their current system. The poll also revealed that 86% of participants had laboratory instruments, and 76% had external systems (SAP, MRP, etc.), which they wanted to connect. This data demonstrates that although many laboratories have a LIMS solution there is still a long way to go for many of them in their automation journey.
The webinar can be accessed here and is suitable for anyone working in laboratory environments and interested in the latest techniques to drive automation.
