LADS-open lab standard easy to use and ready to scale

In today's fast-paced research and QC labs, digital transformation is essential. Yet, progress is often stalled by a critical bottleneck: the lack of a universal language for lab devices. Data remains locked in proprietary silos, making integration complex and scaling automation nearly impossible.

This presentation confronts this challenge by introducing OPC UA LADS (Laboratory & Analytical Device Standard). As a vendor-independent, open standard, LADS is the key to unlocking a truly interoperable, “plug-and-play” smart lab. We will explore how LADS enables standardized device command, control, and seamless data management, providing a robust foundation for automated workflows and AI-driven analysis.

Finally, we'll show, how to get started fast. See how our SynConnect Gateway provides an immediate path for integrating your entire fleet of instruments into a unified and open ecosystem. Join this session to learn how to build your scalable, efficient, and interconnected lab today.
