Abstract:
Laboratory automation is equipment, instrumentation, software and techniques that are classified into four groups: instrument automation; communications; data to information conversion; and information management. This new definition is necessary to understand the role that automation can play in achieving the aims and objectives of a laboratory within its organization. To undertake automation projects effectively, a laboratory automation strategy is outlined which requires an intimate knowledge of an organization and the target environment to implement individual automation projects.
