The Digital Lab

-the advantages of the iLES platform from iVention

In a laboratory, precise and quickly available data can be the decisive competitive advantage. If you want to break down your data silos and benefit from the many advantages of powerful Lab 4.0 technology - then you should take a look at our iVention iLES platform. iLES goes far beyond traditional data management and offers your laboratory an integrated, scalable platform that fits seamlessly into your laboratory's existing IT infrastructure. With iLES, your laboratory can not only increase the efficiency of ongoing processes, but also ensure compliance with stringent regulatory requirements - while supporting the transition to a completely paperless operation.

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 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.
