Laboratory Automated offer the following benefits;

Increased Efficiency:
Automation reduces manual labour and streamlines workflows, leading to significant improvements in efficiency. Automated systems can handle repetitive tasks and perform them consistently and accurately. Automation offers the flexibility to operate 24/7 if required, resulting in faster turnaround times, increased throughput, and higher productivity.

Automation also reduces the time required for routine tasks, allowing laboratory employees to focus on more complex and intellectually demanding lab tasks and responsibilities.

Improved Accuracy and Precision:
Automation minimises human error which often occurs during manual handling tasks, measurement and data entry. Automated systems can execute tasks with a high degree of precision, reducing variability and ensuring consistent outcomes every time. Critical in areas where precision and accuracy play a vital role in analysis and early detection.

Enhanced Reproducibility:
Automation reduces the influence of human factors on experimental and analytical outcomes thereby improving reproducibility of results. Automated systems will precisely follow standardised protocols and eliminate variation caused by operator technique or error. This is particularly critical in area where samples undergo multiple experiments as part of a linear process.

Throughput and Scalability:
Automation enables higher throughput processing allowing laboratories to handle a larger volume of samples or experiments. This is particularly beneficial in industries such as earthworks and mining where large-scale screening and analysis is required to keep high value assets in operation.

Automated systems can easily scale up to accommodate increasing workloads or adapt to changing demands.

Cost Savings:
While there is an initial outlay for laboratory automation, this often leads to a significant long-term cost saving. Automation reduces the need for manual labour and its associated ‘soft costs’ like recruitment, onboarding, training, payroll, Superannuation guarantee, holiday and leave loading, sick leave, public holidays and other statutory employee entitlements.

In addition to reducing labour overheads, automation also delivers savings associated with human errors, reworks and repeated experiments. Automation allows you to optimise resource utilisation and reduce consumption of things like solvents, reagents and consumables.

Safety:
Automation improves laboratory safety by reducing human exposure to potentially hazardous substances or processes. Robots and automated systems can handle dangerous or toxic materials, minimising the risk of accidents and exposure-related health issues. Automation can also implement safety protocols and alarms to prevent errors or unsafe conditions.

Clearly, laboratory automation offers a compelling range of benefits and savings. From increased efficiency and productivity, improved accuracy and reproducibility, significant cost savings, enhanced safety and scalability, automation has fast become a key focus for modern laboratories.
