Invetech provides advice on workflow issues and will find the best solutions for each individual laboratory.
Its aim is to provide a more efficient working environment where scientists are able to apply their skills for maximum effect, improving working conditions for laboratory staff, and increasing throughput and the quality of results.
Its specialists will explain which processes will improve through automation, and Invetech can design, manufacture and deliver new bespoke technology to meet this need.
Where automation is not viable, the team will employ models from the engineering and manufacturing industries to reduce pinchpoints.
Jari Palander, Vice President of North American Operations at Invetech, explains: "Laboratory managers and scientists can exploit available process models from the manufacturing environment to improve laboratory workflow without significant investment in new equipment.
Automation will play a key part, but improving operations also involves rationalising the layout, workflow and positioning of key assets in the laboratory".
Invetech has a proven track record in improving laboratory processes worldwide.
By integrating its teams - industrial design, software engineering, electronics engineering, mechanical engineering, process automation and contract manufacturing - it provides individual and tailored solutions for each client.
