60%
Nearly 60% of lab professionals reported significant downtime due to equipment failures, missed calibration schedules, and difficulty locating lab assets.
Let’s dig into this further:
56% manually monitor equipment use
37% plan to increase spending on lab equipment
17% admit they lack the data to justify purchases
14% have no system in place
Enter AI (artificial intelligence) and the IoT (Internet of Things).
Technology can help us solve many of these challenges—if we embrace it.
Although in this survey, from Censuswide and MachineQ, we see only 30% leverage realtime monitoring technology.
How can we move to greater technology adoption? What hurdles stand in our way? How can we address all of this?
