iVention recently opened a worldwide Center of Excellence (CoE) in Soest. From this new facility, customers, partners and other iVention relations are supported in taking advantage of the opportunities that new technologies offer in optimizing laboratory processes.
The Center of Excellence was set up to meet the "growing need in the market for best practices, innovation, expertise, support and training in modern laboratory automation", says Mr. Oscar Kox, CEO of iVention. "What we notice is that today's laboratories face very different challenges in the necessary transition from paper to digital, such as ensuring data integrity, fast and efficiently processing, analysing and sharing increasing amounts of data and, of course, the protection of privacy-sensitive information".
To cope with these challenges, more than 55 iVention employees work closely with customers from a wide variety of industries on a daily basis to optimize their laboratory processes and realize digital transformation ambitions. In this respect, the company's vision of the future of laboratory automation guarantees a continuous flow of innovations and product developments. In the past year, succesful applications have been realized in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (Hololens), Voice Recognition and Robot Process Automation (RPA) and customers can soon benefit from the advantages that Elasticsearch can offer in the fast and easy searching through large amounts of data.
Thanks in part to this innovative strength, iVention has gained a leading position in the market in a short period of time and can rightly be mentioned a true 'game-changer'. In the coming years, the company also wants to expand its team to achieve the international growth ambitions and to inspire laboratories worldwide with appealing innovations. "the Center of Excellence will play an important role in this", concludes Mr. Kox.
