Considerations for the digital laboratory

Automation, robotics and digital technologies are transforming laboratory processes in life sciences, R&D and manufacturing, and driving a new era in data-focused disease and drug discovery. While the lab sector is still on an evolutionary road to the fully automated lab-of-the-future, or Laboratory 4.0, digital transformation is accelerating the move away from analog processes, and so reducing the need for paper-based and manual processes and human intervention.
