Integration platform for workflow automation and digitalization in bioprocess laboratories
(M.Sc. Lukas Bromig)
Rapid integration of lab devices is enabled by a modular integration platform for workflow automation and digitalization. Drawing on industry standards, it presents a flexible, software architecture across a diverse range of instruments. Demonstrated on use cases, such as dynamic parallel bioreactor control based on real-time prioritization or adaptive evolution experiments, the platform accelerates research by improving interoperability, efficiency, and enabling data-driven experimentation.
