Maximum precision is required in laboratories. Modern data loggers and sensors already allow extremely reliable recording of all kinds of measured values. To ensure that there is no loss of accuracy during data transmission and subsequent analysis, more and more laboratories are relying on new interfaces that seamlessly network data loggers, LIMS and peripheral devices.

- Close cooperation between man and machine in the laboratory of the future
Digitization presents laboratories around the world with numerous challenges - and brings with it new obligations. Sustainably optimized data integrity, increased transparency and improved usability are just some of the points that the laboratories of the (near) future will have to implement. The smart lab is already a reality today and is constantly evolving. The interaction between man and machine in the lab of the future must also develop at the same pace - because this is the only way to fully exploit the benefits of digitization in the lab. The ILES platform from iVention opens the way to the smart lab of the future. Fast, efficient and inexpensive information transfer between staff and equipment, simplified documentation routines and location-independent exchange of results: ILES enables a completely new, close cooperation between man and machine in the lab of the future.
Increased automation for effective work processes.
- how digitization can break the wave of layoffs
Since the beginning of 2021, a phenomenon has been observed worldwide that has been aptly named "Big Quit" in the USA. An above-average number of people have quit their jobs since spring 2021. The Corona pandemic has opened up a unique opportunity for employees - namely the option to rethink their own lives, careers, goals and working conditions. After weeks or months in the home office or even with the relocation of the workplace to other countries, a return to the usual workplace is not always easy, even in laboratories - or does not take place at all. The phenomenon of the "big quit" has also hit the laboratory industry hard. Skilled workers are scarce, experienced specialists have changed employers or even the industry, and perspectives, demands and needs have changed, sometimes radically. Classic "benefits" are no longer enough to find qualified personnel on the labor market. Can the digitalization of laboratories be the key to less employee turnover, more satisfaction and the long-term retention of high potentials in a laboratory?
One thing is clear: all companies must face up to digitization. And in doing so, break completely new ground, also and above all with regard to employees' working methods. Modern, easily accessible laboratory management systems such as LIMS from iVention automate routine tasks, accelerate workflows, facilitate internal laboratory "team play" between different departments and free employees from time-consuming, unfortunately often unchallenging, even boring tasks. This leaves more time for the actual work - and for developing their own skills. And not only that: digitization in the lab ensures a better work-life balance. A "benefit" that more and more employees are putting at the top of their wish list for the perfect employer.
Would you like to learn more about the topic of digitalization in the lab or would you like to know how we at iVention can simplify work in the lab on a daily basis with our intelligent solutions? Then get in touch with us right now! We are already looking forward to introducing you to the fascinating world of modern, digital solutions for the laboratory!
The guarantee for good ideas in the lab of the future
When you think of data aggregators, data industries such as Facebook, eCommerce and, of course, the world's most famous "data octopus," Google, certainly come to mind. But the fact that a laboratory in the 21st century also collects data about data is still something that very few laboratory employees are aware of. Yet, especially in the pharmaceutical industry, data represents the optimal basis for sustainable success - after all, data enables the development of marketable ideas and products.
The more digitized our laboratories become, the more extensively IT structures network devices, locations and employees, the faster results are obtained, shared and evaluated. One thing is certain: the digital laboratory will become a data factory. Enormous amounts of data have to be processed and managed day after day. The flood of data is becoming a challenge - not only for daily operations, but also for management.
One of the greatest current challenges is to automate the previous, manual processes within a laboratory - and then to integrate the processes into existing laboratory information management systems. With the iVention iLES platform, we are addressing exactly this point. iVention iLES is a highly integrable, web-based platform that transforms laboratory data into valuable, digital information. iLES is scalable and fully customizable to the individual needs of each laboratory. With intelligent features and the ability to be fully networked, iLES not only increases flexibility, but also cost-effectiveness. "By the way", iLES is a powerful tool when it comes to processing and managing large amounts of data - Big Data.
No fear of data floods - this is the approach we at iVention take with iLES. We accompany our customers from A - Z, i.e. from the first consultation to the setup to the daily use. Because we know exactly which hurdles await users when switching from the "classic" to the digital laboratory of the future. Why not give us a try right now? We look forward to hearing from you. We would be happy to work with you to develop the optimal solution for your laboratory's transition to digitalization!
