From what all I read in industry blogs and discussions, it seems that IoT is very big in Oil and Gas and in healthcare but not much is mentioned about its applications to the lab. Oil and Gas has been using IoT longer than the word has been around. Healthcare has embraced it in the area of Point of Care Testing (PoCT). In my company, we have developed an IoT application that we use for interfacing to all medical instruments and other lab equipment. Marked as spam

Thanks. However O&G it is beyond Lab boundary and in Pharma or other Industry I was looking for a Case study in Laboratory which I am yet to have. However Healthcare I agree with you. Curious to know about your application of IOT and curious to know what all the Instrument it can connect other than healthcare instrument. Marked as spam

For instruments other than healthcare, it is generally quite simple as compared to healthcare. Healthcare is much more complex and real time and is well suited for IoT. Non-healthcare instruments we find to be the easiest to interface. We use the same IoT software for both cases but in the case of file based instruments we basically ftp and parse the files for import into the LIMS. We are always on the lookout for better tools to do the job. We have started playing with node-red. It looks very exciting has some great possibilities for lab IoT: https://nodered.org/ |

Basically, you can connect whatever device using iot. For instance, you have an iot module now in Odoo and you can imagine that at the time you record an information, the system could lock the temperature of the room, of a fridge. You can also easily connect a balance with iot… I think that this will make instrument connection much cheaper and easier Marked as spam

Thanks.I can understand for freezer or similar but I. Am not sure like GC HPLC SPECTRO XRF XRD etc.Even in Lab weighing machine facility up to active RS 232 at max. Marked as spam

Hi, I would like to understand more on what is meant by the application of IoT in the lab. From what I understand of it it could only help you in the metrology area e.g. checking calibration, predict certaian maintenance etc..Any thoughts?
Hi Corne, my own take on the application of IoT for the lab is a bit broader than simply micro devices. I see it in application for all types of instrument and lab device integration and automation and then when paired with AI, I can see automated QC and worflow management. I see it as something that is not revolutionary for the lab but something that can implemented in an evolutionary way (a bit at a time as it makes sense).
