We often hear stories of seamless connected lab implementations and vendor playbooks for success, but rarely do we get an honest look at what happens when things do not go as planned. <br><br>This panel brings together experienced leaders who have lived through the challenges of automating hardware, software, and data systems. Hear how their first attempts fell short, what they learned along the way, and how those lessons shaped stronger, more resilient connected lab strategies in their next iterations.

Automated and autonomous laboratories emerge through evolution rather than disruption. This talk outlines how traditional laboratory workflows can be incrementally extended using guided workflows, advanced sample tracking, and collaborative automation technologies, including cobots. Based on co-creation activities with customers and a network of automation and technology partners, we illustrate how instruments, data, and people can be progressively connected. Examples from Agilent’s automation portfolio highlight a stepwise approach that supports the transition from established lab practices toward increasingly digital and autonomous laboratory concepts.
