Laboratories in Transformation Paving the Road to Lab of The Future Laboratories in Transformation – Paving the Road to Lab of The Future

Many laboratories have embarked on their digital journey towards Lab of The Future (LoTF) and buzzwords such as Artificial (AI), Machine (ML), Advanced Analytics, Augmented Reality (AR), (MR) and Internet of Things (IoT) are frequently used in articles, white papers and on conferences.

Reality in the Labs The reality is that many pharmaceutical and biotech organizations have not yet estab- lished a digital strategy for reaching their vision of LoTF.

Many laboratories are still highly paper-based and are working with existing labora- tory applications as “paper on glass”, thereby not harvesting the envisioned benefits. Oftentimes, they are in general missing essential applications in their IT landscape.

The Future of the Labs The nature of the IT landscape in laboratories is often rather complex, with multiple vendors providing both instruments and applications across different industries.

Scientists often struggle to navigate and access data that are buried within silo-based applications and stand-alone instruments. Consequently, the vision of a unified platform accommodating the capabilities of multiple lab applications has grown considerably. Laboratory Integration Architecture

NNIT can seamlessly integrate your laboratory IT landscape based on a Hybrid Integration Platform (HIP).

Increase innovation and reduce time-to-market Scientific advances within R&D and drug discovery has led to innovative explorations within fields such as gene therapy, personalized medicine, , immuno- therapy, drug delivery etc. Pharmaceutical and biotech companies are pressured on patent expirations and want to reduce time-to-market. There is a need to speed up the drug development process and discover new therapeutics.

Productivity and data democratization Increasing productivity in laboratories is key to stay in business. The constant pursuit for improving key performance indicators such as turnaround time of tests are affect- ing laboratories. To improve business processes and work smarter, there is a need to democratize data by eliminating data siloes and making data available.

Connectivity and advanced analytics Many organizations are looking into data standardization in order to harmonize scientific data flow across instruments and applications. The purpose of introducing data standards and standards when integrating instruments, devices and applications is to facilitate seamless flow of data across platforms and to enable advanced analytics.

Security and regulatory compliance Securing data assets is key. Compliance is a license to operate in life sciences and many companies are experiencing an increasing regulatory focus on data integrity, computerized systems and security related to both laboratory applications and scientific instruments.
