Why holistic knowledge management is the key to successful laboratory automation

Laboratory automation increases efficiency, but at the same time it also increases system complexity. Without structured knowledge management, dependencies arise, downtime becomes longer, and the causes of errors are difficult to trace. Only by centrally capturing and using operational knowledge can automation become truly manageable, sustainable, and efficient.
