Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic imposed challenges on laboratories associated with continuing day-to-day operation while ensuring employee safety. As the world emerges from the pandemic, a “new-normal” has been established by which remote work and flexibility can lower operational costs and improve efficiency.
This poster outlines the implementation of technologies including internet of things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication in laboratory instruments. These technologies allow for remote operation including instrument start-up, analysis, and shutdown, diagnosis of and correcting for errors, and data management and reporting. The result is a remotely-operated laboratory that increases operational efficiency and flexibility for employees.
