Many aspects of digitalization are discussed for years and years. Many initiatives for standardization were established and failed to set proper “standards”. Meanwhile the demand for better data increased, but the number of adequate solutions did not. We can’t wait until the perfect solution is commercially available, so what can we do, what are the options and how can we start digitalization and automation without being locked into a single solution? We will present a practical approach for lab digitalization an discuss how we approach the challenges, use the opportunities, and what we learned from our exchange with other organization having the same problems.
