Kirzy\u0144ski, who is Business Development Manager with Solution4Labs \u2013 a Poland-based company that supports laboratories in digital transformation and process automation \u2013 told delegates that laboratories today face a perfect storm of rising sample volumes, tighter turnaround requirements, stricter regulatory compliance, and persistent staff shortages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The problem<\/a>, he stressed, is not a lack of competence among laboratory teams. \u2018Manual work has simply stopped being scalable,\u2019 he said, describing automation and robotics as a \u2018natural direction of development\u2019 for the sector. Their value lies in increasing throughput, repeatability, and \u2013 significantly \u2013 the utilisation of existing infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eliminating bottlenecks through continuous operation<\/h3>\n

Automation and robotics can perform repetitive tasks such as sample transport, pipetting, or device handling without breaks and with high precision. \u2018It is also crucial to integrate processes into a single cohesive workflow, which reduces downtime and the risk of human error,\u2019 Kirzy\u0144ski added. As a result, laboratories can perform more analyses in less time while maintaining high-quality results.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018The most common bottlenecks include manual sample preparation, transport of materials between devices, and management of analysis queues. Equipment downtime due to shift limitations and limited staff availability is also a significant issue.\u2019<\/p>\n

Dispelling the myths around cost and scale<\/h3>\n

A common misconception, Kirzy\u0144ski noted, is that automation is only for large companies, is prohibitively expensive, or requires automating an entire process at once. In reality, automation can be implemented step by step and scaled according to a laboratory’s needs. Today it is already possible to automate activities such as pipetting, sample preparation, queue management, result reading, and workflow management using dedicated software.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For medical and hospital laboratories, the stakes are particularly high. \u2018In the medical environment, time, quality, and patient safety are critical. Automation reduces turnaround times, increases result repeatability, and minimizes the risk of errors. Additionally, it enables better handling of a growing number of tests without the need to proportionally increase staffing levels.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

The best results are achieved by laboratories that start with a single problem and gradually expand the system<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Cobots \u2013 specialised robots designed to work safely alongside humans in shared workspaces \u2013 enable automation of workstations without the need for closed safety zones, making implementation faster and less invasive. Mobile robots and intelligent transport systems automate sample logistics, eliminating the need for manual handling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018As a result,\u2019 Kirzy\u0144ski continued, \u2018throughput increases, errors are reduced, and 24\/7 operations become feasible. In healthcare, this translates into faster diagnostics and better service availability.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

Solution4Labs designs and implements integrated solutions that include robotics, Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), and workflow management software. The company adopts a step-by-step approach: identify bottlenecks, pilot solutions, and scale them effectively<\/p>\n

\u2018The most important thing is to view automation not as a technology project, but as an operational transformation,\u2019 Kirzy\u0144ski concluded. \u2018The best results are achieved by laboratories that start with a single problem and gradually expand the system. Robots do not replace people \u2013 they allow them to focus on higher-value tasks that require expertise and experience.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
