The Orchestrated Lab: Moving Beyond Siloed Automation

Recorded On: 06/30/2026

Join us for an SLAS Technology Idea Exchange led by Puxin Zhang, Product Manager, Digital Science & Automation Solutions, at Thermo Fisher Scientific.
The session will explore why automation alone is no longer enough and how leading labs are shifting toward orchestration to coordinate instruments, data, robotics, and workflows in real time. Learn how workflow scheduling software is helping labs improve throughput, reduce bottlenecks, and create a scalable foundation for future AI-driven operations.
Key topics include:

  • Automation vs orchestration
  • Workflow scheduling and coordination
  • Breaking down data and process silos
  • Building a connected lab ecosystem
