Beyond Legacy Automation: Designing Labs for What Comes Next

This talk explores why legacy, fixed lab systems struggle to keep pace with modern science and what must change to enable AI-driven, agentic models. It examines how leading labs are shifting toward software-defined, data-centric automation built on open architectures. We’ll outline what’s required to support autonomy, orchestration, and continuous learning without compromising reliability, interoperability, or compliance, and share practical frameworks to assess whether current automation infrastructure is ready for what comes next.
