Every R&D company faces similar challenges when integrating lab instruments into a scientific process. This ever-expanding set of instruments produces proprietary data, leading to unnecessary and costly obstacles to data governance, standardization, connectivity, and management. Scientists are forced to spend precious lab time manually transferring data and customizing data pipelines, preventing them from using data at scale, creating burdens on IT and automation teams, and introducing regulatory compliance risk, and ultimately slowing down R&D progress.
