Lab automation symposium brings together experts from all over Europe
Once again, an international symposium was held as part of the EU-funded innovation project TraceBot , bringing together laboratory automation experts from across Europe.
In addition to exciting presentations on current topics and trends in robotics, the event also offered the latest laboratory robot solutions in the networking area.
Organised by BioLAGO , experts from six countries across Europe came together to present the latest developments and opportunities in modern laboratory automation.
The international speakers were accompanied throughout the day by laboratory and automation specialist Luiza Almeida from the Instituto Pedro Nunes Portugal, who moderated the event.
Results of the TraceBot funding project shared
The second“Robotics-4-Labautomation Symposium” kicked off with a session on the progress and latest results of the TraceBot funding project.
Among others, Prof. Markus Vincze from the Vienna University of Technology gave an impressive report on the project's success in the recognition of transparent objects.
The session was concluded by Dr Charly Coulon from Invite GmbH, who showed how the versatile results of the TraceBot project can be implemented in companies and how they can benefit from them.
Dr Charly Coulon says:“The TraceBot consortium can be proud of the good progress made over the past three and a half years, which will help us to take laboratory automation in the pharmaceutical industry and beyond a decisive step forward.
“I am sure that our results will help many companies across Europe to actively develop their laboratory automation. The Robotics-4-Labautomation Symposium in Konstanz is an important platform for raising awareness of TraceBot among laboratory users and robotics experts.”
How can robotics innovations permanently improve laboratories?
The highlight of the event was the keynote speech by Miriam Guest from Charles River Laboratories in the UK. In her interesting presentation, she impressively described the application of automation in GMP laboratories.
This was followed by a panel discussion in which the speakers shared success stories of laboratory automation with the audience and explained how modern robotic solutions will bring more efficiency and safety to the laboratory of the future.
The final session of the event looked at trends and future prospects for laboratory automation. Regional and international experts had the opportunity to share their thoughts.
The Robotics-4-Labautomation Symposium was accompanied by a diverse exhibition in the networking area.
Here, participants were able to experience the latest robotic solutions from the ETO Group and Stäubli up close. In addition, the exhibitors SILA and House of Lab Science presented their offerings for laboratory experts.
Maike Neumann from BioLAGO, project manager and coordinator of the international TraceBot consortium, says:“I am delighted that our symposium has once again brought laboratory and robotics experts from across Europe to Konstanz for a fruitful exchange.
“The added value of our TraceBot funding project is evident here, because only in this way could we create a framework in which companies and researchers could exchange ideas on the forward-looking topic of laboratory automation in an interdisciplinary way.”
