Smartlabs and the Laboratory Chair 4.0 - The future of laboratory work

The Smartlab is coming

The work surface is full, notes and work sheets are within reach, the equipment for the next test series has already been set up - and then you realise the one piece of equipment you really need is in another department. Inflexible instruments, restricted space and ageing equipment are part of everyday working life in many laboratories. This often complicates the work processes carried out here, making them cumbersome. At the same time, laboratory processes are becoming increasingly complex. Moreover, the competition between laboratories is becoming more intense. Laboratory work, as is the case in many other sectors, is thus facing an upheaval - manual processes are becoming increasingly automated and Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) are taking over planning and structure. Anyone not looking to modernise can expect to fail at some point in the future. Growth-oriented laboratories, in particular, are making efforts to optimise their structures and specialise in specific areas for greater flexibility and efficiency. To succeed here, they need the appropriate equipment, from the high-end automation solution to the state-of-the-art laboratory chair because - the Smartlab is coming!

The future of laboratory work is digital

A Smartlab, that "thinks for itself", requires employees who know how to control it - everywhere in the world, in all languages. There is hardly any other working environment that has been so defined by internationalisation. In research especially, there are virtually no national borders. It is especially in times of automation and digitalisation, however, that communication needs to be transparent and understandable for everyone. This not only requires collaboration with colleagues, but also demands certain requirements from the equipment used. From technical equipment and consumables to the laboratory chair, an optimum laboratory environment is self-explanatory and facilitates both flexible and accurate work processes. It not only adapts to the respective tasks being carried out, but also to the people working there: the employees. It has to be possible to use a well-equipped laboratory facility in a multifunctional way - whether it be the laboratory of today or the smartlab of tomorrow.

Smartlabs need smart solutions

Moving from analogue processes to digitalisation, laboratory facilities are changing. For example, individual pieces of equipment are increasingly being connected using software, thus making it possible to control individual processes. This means that small and medium-sized companies are now in a position to meet increasing demands for individual solutions to customer requirements. However, flexible solutions are not only required from the laboratory facilities. Demands are also made on the equipment they use. Despite all the digitalisation, maximum concentration is still required from employees and they are responsible for the success of the project. The employees therefore need to know they can rely on the equipment at hand. For laboratory chairs or standing aids, this means a high degree of sitting comfort and flexible adjustment options for precise work, as well as strict requirements in terms of design, ease of cleaning and ergonomic features. This is because, even in times of increasing digitalisation, a good and compliant laboratory chair remains one of the most important objects in the laboratory.
