As connected lab implementations appear on every strategic initiative across the globe, many traditional lab automation experts are realizing that the approach to rolling out a connected lab is different and more complex than implementing a fully integrated system.
While we all love a good success story, this roundtable is about what happens when things do not go well. Just like in the early days of custom hardware automation systems there were stories about robots flipping instruments off tables, or robot crashes heard around the world, so too are there stories of connected labs gone awry. This roundtable is for anyone who has those stories to share and those who want to learn from them.
Not every lab is built from scratch with brand-new equipment.
