Digital lab-scale R&D workflows<\/mark><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In many laboratories, the procedures and technologies employed are far from being fully digitalized. However, digital solutions can significantly improve the efficiency, quality, and reproducibility of lab-scale experiments and processes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huge backlog in terms of digital transformation<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Although there has been progress in terms of digitalization in lab environments and digital solutions have been introduced for R&D workflows, many steps in experiments are still being carried out manually. These range from operating lab equipment and data acquisition, all the way through to documentation and data evaluation. The large volumes of data from the experiments are rarely collected in an automated and structured way. Instead, they are often recorded and analyzed manually in electronic lab journals or other local and poorly integrated solutions. This slows down the search for specific data and makes it more difficult to merge and analyze it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obstacles to digitalization<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The immense backlog in terms of digital transformation in lab environments can be attributed to various obstacles. These include the complexity of the lab systems and the large number of instruments and systems that need to be integrated.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How laboratories benefit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

However, digitalization and automation offer a number of decisive advantages for research and development, such as saving time and resources, as well as increasing productivity, reproducibility, and quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Years of experience with digitalization in lab environments<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

At hte, we have many years of experience in the development of digital technologies and professional software for lab-scale workflows, for example for automatic data acquisition. This enables us to bring in-depth knowledge and best practices to the digital transformation of data handling. At the same time, our software developers have a deep understanding of chemical processes and lab-scale research workflows, and are able to efficiently merge and harmonize data from different sources and formats.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast to pure software solution providers, hte is the world’s leading provider of lab-scale R&D workflows. In addition to the necessary software, our workflows also include innovative lab equipment, precise analytics, and in-depth application knowledge. We understand the requirements of our customers in the refining<\/a>, chemical<\/a>, petrochemical<\/a>, and battery<\/a> industries, as well as the electrolysis and fuel cell<\/a> sectors. Our experts support you in developing innovations such as sustainable processes that support ambitious net zero targets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
