Instrument Integration in Action at LIMS Forum 2023

At LIMS Forum, Splashlake organized a delicious live instrument integration showcase - with freshly baked pretzels! We partnered with five LIMS companies to create a manufacturing workflow and a QC batch release process, using a pretzel bakery as an example.

​Five LIMS Controlling Five Instruments - Live!

In the conference action area, we hosted a Memmert temperature cabinet, a Thermo Scientific HPLC, temperature sensors and power sensors along the manufacturing line that baked actual pretzels.


Customers could visit any of our LIMS partner booths, initiate a batch, track the manufacturing process, and perform a QC batch release.


Instrument integration used a number of interfaces, including IoT technology, data and communication standards (AnIML and SiLA), as well as proprietary communication protocols - based on what worked best with the respective instrument.

The Power of the Ecosystem

Thanks to our friends at Labware, Memmert, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Labordatenbank, MAQSIMA, iVention and Klinkner & Partner for the wonderful collaboration.
