“Lab automation” is a vast concept. It encompasses everything from a single instrument performing a repetitive task to AI-enabled ecosystems autonomously processing and analyzing samples. Between these two extremes lies a spectrum of applications, such as robotic arms transferring material between instruments, automated liquid handlers preparing assays, and mobile robots moving samples through the lab.

Every capital project has two major deliverables: the physical facility and the turnover package that owners need to accept and operate that facility. These deliverables should move toward the finish line together.

Robots and Material Handling Equipment (MHE) can make a huge impact to biopharma productivity. But what should your fleet’s makeup and traffic flows look like to maximize efficiency and spend? Here’s how to ensure you’re getting the most out of your robotics and MHE investment.

Understand your operations, enable digital transformation, and transform your organization for lasting business improvements.

Here are five mini-case studies that improved the production process for plasma-derived proteins because every drop of plasma counts.

It’s not enough to set ambitious sustainability goals—achieving them requires a concrete plan. Moving towards zero carbon doesn’t happen by chance. Any organization aiming for zero carbon or net-zero targets within a specific timeline needs a clear, actionable sustainability roadmap to reach these milestones.

Even with smaller budgets, there are ways to enhance manufacturing operations and boost production, quality, and speed. Here’s your guide to getting there, along with several value stream map examples.
