Workshop Laboratory Integration and LIMS connectivity

LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) are the IT backbone of a laboratory. They manage the orders that the laboratory processes and control the workflow from sample preparation via distribution of the samples to the analystical instruments and result transfer to higher-level IT systems. In this respect, the LIMS market is particularly interesting for manufacturers of components that are controlled by LIMS in this workflow. Discussing their products in the IT context of the Laboratory allows them to develop new business models which would them address higher-level requirements of their customers. Based on the information provided about LIMS and laboratory integration, a fruitful discussion about the product strategy is possible.
