Digital Lab Transformation

The laboratory network, spread across several buildings and geographic locations, faced a complex set of challenges. Each site, equipped with multiple rooms and adhering to strict safety procedures, was crucial in preventing contamination of research materials. Key among these challenges was the management and monitoring of sophisticated diagnostic equipment across different locations. The problematic aspect involved not just entering individual labs but also overseeing multi-hour processes in various sites while adhering to stringent safety protocols. Failure to effectively monitor these processes could result in significant errors.

Another major challenge was the need to digitize the entire laboratory network to streamline operations across all locations. This was essential for increasing efficiency, saving time, and maintaining a comprehensive historical data record. Non-digitalized laboratories, especially those spread over multiple sites, face issues like inefficient workflow, data management difficulties, and limited capabilities for real-time monitoring. The geographical spread of the laboratory network added layers of complexity to these challenges, making the need for an integrated digital solution even more critical.
