Setting Goals That Deliver
Open to view video.
Open to view video. Now more than ever, automation is inevitably transforming many industries with life sciences being especially impacted. Due to the many associated benefits such as increased productivity, providing full audit trail and reliability, as well as reduced space and cost, automation brings a competitive advantage to laboratories looking to automate their workflows. Our webinar will present case studies of automated laboratories from pharma to academic laboratories and fast throughput testing. Key questions will be answered such as why we need automation, logistics of automation and what are the best steps to create a request for a proposal and deploy the right system to achieve scientific objectives.

Creating Effective Workflows, Teams and Tools
Open to view video.
Open to view video. With the advent of smarter technology, there has been marked increase in the use of automation in production and warehouse facilities, e.g. such as the automotive industry and distribution centers around the world. The life science industry is also experiencing an upsurge in the use and deployment of automation in labs. With this increased use of lab automation, individuals now have more options to choose from when considering a pathway towards automation. One option is to specify and deploy an automated solution in your lab. Another option is to utilise digital labs to help you and in addition to this remotely monitor lab operations via a digital assistant. In this webinar we will introduce individuals and companies at the forefront of lab automation and the digital lab. We will focus on the technologies that you need to consider when undertaking one of the pathways towards an automated solution, from a robotic system in house, to outsourcing to a digital lab and also technology that allows you to monitor your lab environment.

Swimming in Data: How to Generate Useful Returns
Open to view video.
Open to view video. As new laboratory tools provide means to acquire huge volumes of data, the question arises on how to generate useful returns on the data. Virtual reality and augmented reality tools are maturing and offer powerful new possibilities for visualisation and collaboration. As we turn to consider the use of new machine learning and AI tools the quality and limits of inference become an important topic. Finally governance plays a key role and broad initiatives are being established for large scale data sharing under suitable terms.
