Abstract: OPC-UA LADS (Laboratory and Analytical Device Standard) is a joint working group initiated by the SPECTARIS e.V., VDMA and the OPC-Foundation. The joint working group is working on an OPC-UA companion specification to provide a common interface providing a unified, robust & secure interface to drive digital transformation in the laboratory space for users, application developers and device manufacturers.
The laboratory market is increasingly aligning itself with industrial automation processes and the adopted approaches, thereby profiting from the many decades of experience already gathered in industrial settings. The associated benefits have been collated by the SPECTARIS 'Networked Laboratory Equipment' working group, resulting in the decision to adopt OPC UA as the standard technology for networking equipment, systems and processes in the laboratory. This not only facilitates connectivity in the laboratory but also enables integration with typical industrial infrastructure. This can ensure that future solutions integrate more simply and robustly in existing local infrastructure, without having to entertain compromises which might jeopardise automation opportunities. OPC UA implementations have existed for many years in a broad range of software stacks from a variety of suppliers with different licence models. Solutions to match virtually all requirements, from Open Source through to commercial implementations with appropriate support, are available. And today, there is already one or the other OPC UA specialist in every larger industrial company.
