一. Laboratory Tour:Witness the integration of intelligence and standardization
Accompanied by Yiming Lu, general manager of Reed Biotech Ltd, the visiting guests went deep into the company's fully automated experimental platform and standardized production workshop. Yiming Lu focused on demonstrating ReedBiotech's self-developed high-throughput sample processing system and intelligent data management platform, and explained in detail the company's 7S management system - through the seven dimensions of Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke, Safety, and Save, to achieve efficient management of the laboratory environment and resource optimization.
Minmin Zhu highly recognized ReedBiotech's "technology & management" dual-wheel drive concept: "From equipment automation to process standardization, Reed Biotech has provided the industry with a replicable performance improvement model."
- Cross-border conversation:Decoding the core of laboratory performance leap
At the conversation, the three parties focused on the efficiency innovation path of life science laboratories:
- Technology Empowerment:Minmin Zhu shared Hangzhou Yooning’s experience in the integrated development of intelligent testing equipment, emphasizing the synergistic value of “hardware innovation iteration” and “strategic layout”;
- Management upgrades:Yiming Lu took ReedBiotech's 7S management practice as an example to explain how to reduce the loss of experimental reagents and consumables by 30% and improve equipment utilization through "space flow optimization" and "operation SOP standardization".;
- Ecological co-construction:Yuanyuan Qin proposed the idea of building a technology sharing platform in the park: "From the joint adjustment of precision instruments to the exchange of technical talents, regional collaboration will accelerate the transformation of technological achievements."
三. Industry Outlook: The "Three Trends" of Life Science Laboratories
Regarding the development trend of the industry, Yiming Lu pointed out three major directions:
- Automation upgrade: refer to international leading cases, promote from "manual operation" to full-chain unmanned operation;
- Digital management: personnel skill matrix, build a digital training platform, and dynamically optimize resource allocation in combination with 7S management dashboard;
- Low-carbon transformation: Relying on intelligence to reduce repeated experiments, reduce energy consumption and waste generation, and respond to the "Green Laboratory" initiative.
Conclusion
This exchange marks a key step for Reed Biotech in building the smart laboratory ecosystem. In the future, the company will continue to deepen automation technology innovation, take 7S management as the cornerstone, and work with industry partners to jointly promote the efficiency revolution of life science laboratories and help China's scientific research equipment upgrade to intelligence!
