We are lying to ourselves about lab digitalization. 8 out of 10 labs have a LIMS, but only 11% have their systems truly connected. Why does lab digitalization really fail? Spoiler: It’s not the budget!
In this video, we take an exclusive look at the findings of the brand-new "2026 State of Lab Digitalization" report by 1LIMS. We surveyed 110 QA/QC labs across 7 industries and spoke with leading integration architects to find out why so many labs are stuck in a "hybrid illusion."
🔍 What you will learn in this video:
The LIMS Paradox: Why 1 in 3 labs still uses Excel daily for manual data transfers despite having an expensive LIMS
The Budget Lie: Why only 7% of labs are held back by their budget and what the real blockers are (regulatory constraints, lack of standards, staff resistance)
The Integration Crisis: Why proprietary interfaces are a dead end and how open standards like SiLA and AnIML are saving the future
The Path to True Connectivity: 5 expert principles on how to build a tech stack that actually works and prepares your data for the future (and AI)
💡 If you want to know why simply buying software doesn’t make your lab digital and how the top 11% of labs have actually solved the connectivity problem, this video is for you.📥 Download the complete report for free here
