A Modern Framework for Integrated Laboratory Instrument Management (LIM)
Modern, automated labs are under immense pressure to improve operational efficiency, maximize ROI, monitor assets in real time, all while reducing waste and managing regulatory risk. Teams are expected to discover and produce at a pace once considered unthinkable. Service organizations are increasingly pursuing the realization of “Knight’s Law” in laboratory operations (i.e., the output should double while costs fall linearly). This means not just growth, but that each scientist should be able to do almost double the work in the same amount of time, year over year. This can’t be achieved by just purchasing the latest, bigger, and faster instruments, but requires automation and good asset management practices.
