The Digital Lab

Paul Planje

I have been working since 1992 on subjects such as efficiency and Productivity increase. Initially in the laboratory and research sectors. Here I made my experiences with analytical instruments and automation. With the change to sales, enterprise solutions such as Scientific Data Management Systems (SDMS), Laboratory Information Systems (LIMS), Laboratory Execution Systems (LES), Electronic Laboratory Journals (ELN) and Document Management Systems (DMS) were added. In the last years I was engaged in the digitization of processes and their measurements. Scince 2019 I'm running the iVention DACH region supporting our customers to move into the digital lab world.

Modern equipment in the laboratory must inevitably be serviced regularly and with the utmost care. Because only if the connectivity and correlation of the individual devices is permanently guaranteed, uncertainties in measurements and the subsequent analysis processes are reliably prevented. With iVention's digital capabilities, you get a powerful solution for sustainable inventory management. Reduce the risk of unexpected downtime and minimize uncertainties in measurements.

Predictive maintenance - proactively avoid downtime.
The easiest repairs are the ones that don't need to be done in the first place. With iVention's Inventory Management, predictive diagnostics of your laboratory equipment has never been easier. All relevant information on the condition of the equipment is provided immediately by means of sensors. Upcoming maintenance work is indicated just as early as technical errors. This enables you to carry out maintenance and repair work at an early stage and in a sustainable manner. This prevents unnecessary downtime and at the same time increases process reliability.

Informed regardless of location
The iVention solutions in the area of Inventory Management are optimized for mobile use. Regardless of location, you can obtain information about the status of your laboratory technology on any Internet-enabled mobile device. In many cases, problems can be solved remotely - a real time advantage!

Would you like to receive comprehensive information about the many possibilities of iVention Inventory Management or would you like a personal consultation about the advantages that our digital solutions offer you for your laboratory?

2021 - The year of digitalization in the lab?

The new year is barely a few weeks old and already brings with it the first serious cuts. The Corona virus continues to have a firm grip on Europe - and requires measures that we all probably could not have imagined just 12 months ago. Lockdowns in almost all countries of the European Union, more people than ever before working from home, closed schools and KITAs in emergency operation: the challenges facing society and the economy are immense.

What is certain is that the topic of comprehensive digitization will be at the top of the agenda in 2021, especially in our laboratories. Yes, it must be - because productivity, especially in science and research, must not be subject to the dictates of the virus in these times! The digitization of laboratories, a continuous optimization of processes through the use of state-of-the-art, cloud-based and thus mobile technology is more than ever not just "nice to have". Rather, it is a "must have". Maintaining the performance of our laboratories, even under the most difficult conditions, should be the overriding goal this year.

What a year. Exactly 12 months ago, none of us would have thought that the entire world would soon be in the grip of an invisible, but all the more dangerous enemy. In just a few months, the Corona virus has transformed society and the daily lives of each and every one of us. And there is still no realistic end to the pandemic in sight. Therefore, the coming year 2021 will unfortunately have to be dedicated to the fight against the virus once again.

- The pandemic as a driver of innovation?

It is autumn in Europe. And - it was unfortunately to be expected - Europe is once again in a lockdown. The corona virus not only affects all our social lives, but also the way we do our work. Entire professions are being sent to the home office - and despite all the concerns, especially of employers, working from home seems to work. At least if the appropriate digital infrastructure is available.
