The Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA has conducted a highly interesting study to determine the current state of digitization of laboratories operating in the life science sector. The central questions of the study revolved around the challenges and non-value-added activities that laboratory employees are confronted with during their daily work. The aim was to determine whether this could be linked to the current level of automation and digitization in the laboratories.
With digital transformation, more and more data is ending up in the cloud. This is also the case in the digital laboratory of the future. With the move to cloud-based services such as the iLES platform, work processes are becoming faster, access to the stored data easier and research results easier to evaluate. However, the use of digital technology also brings with it completely new problem areas. Data sets from everyday laboratory life are not only of interest to laboratory employees - but also to an army of cybercriminals. That's why we don't want to focus on the iVention modules and the iLES platform today - but on the cyber security factor.
The powerful, flexible iLES - the iVention Lab Execution Platform - stands for modern, web-based, scalable lab management. The platform is the foundation of all our iVention solutions and arguably the smartest way to digitally transform a lab. We are convinced: Without paper and without paperwork, bridges between the data islands generated in a lab can be built faster and more efficiently than ever before. But there are many more good reasons why we at iVention love the "cloud" so much.
The iVention Cloud
With LIMS, the highly integrated laboratory information and management system, electronic laboratory notebooks (ELN), scientific data management systems (SDMS) and efficient groupware solutions, we have powerful solutions for the modern, digital operation of a laboratory in our portfolio. The basis for the application of the aforementioned building blocks is our iLES, the iVention Lab Execution Platform. The cloud-based platform does not require the installation of client software and is available in both hosted and installed versions. In both cases, iLES can be effortlessly configured to meet customer requirements to perfection without custom coding. Sounds simple? It is - and ease of use is also one of the reasons we like the cloud so much.
Insight into lab data anytime and anywhere
No matter where you are: Our iLES platform is accessible to you at all times. Whether via cell phone, tablet or PC: iLES provides users, managers and cooperation partners with information in real time. Without a separate client installation, any data user can access iLES with a web browser. And because iLES also comes with a client portal, your customers can also take advantage of our system - at no extra cost, because the client portal is already included in the end-user license fee. The cloud brings the laboratory world closer together. We love "our data clouds" for that, too.
Working paperless
iLES enables paperless working via tablet computers on the web and in the cloud. The generated data can be used throughout the company without any detours. iLES simplifies access to real-time information - of course, always in compliance with legal regulations and data integrity. In this way, our platform saves time and, by automating processes, also costs. In addition, iLES reduces the amount of manual data processing. Our vendor-neutral iVention technology transforms labs into highly integrated, paperless environments. The third plus point for our cloud.

We find them in nearly every laboratory - the data islands. In the course of the digital transformation, the data generated in our laboratories is spread across more and more systems, most of which are different. Where once a database and one or two Excel spreadsheets might have been used, a real ecosystem of different data sources has developed over the last few years. In laboratories around the world, these data islands consist not only of digitally generated data - but also of a whole lot of paper. Notes, file entries, experimental results are still often recorded on paper. Processing and managing the data islands means manual effort - and thus time that is missing for the actual tasks in the daily business of a laboratory.
With iLES, bridges are built. Bridges between the data islands generated in the laboratory! With iLES, working paperless via tablet computers on the web and in the cloud becomes a real game changer - transforming data from data islands into information that can be used throughout the entire company. iLES simplifies access to real-time information - while of course complying with legal requirements and data integrity at all times. iLES also saves time and costs, however, because the solution automates processes and reduces the amount of manual data processing. As iLES is vendor-neutral, the solution can turn any lab into a highly integrated, paperless environment.
So - let's build bridges together and make your lab ready for the demands of the future, too! Write to us, we will be happy to advise you in detail on the optimal strategy for the comprehensive digitization of your laboratory!Your blog post content here…
