It highlighted advancements in environmental monitoring, food analysis, life sciences, and smart laboratory construction, attracting over a thousand attendees, including academicians, scholars, corporate representatives, and technical experts, to discuss emerging technologies, achievements, and future directions in analytical testing.
 
Session Focus: Practices and Prospects of Smart Laboratories
‌
The "Smart Laboratories and Intelligent Equipment" session addressed challenges and opportunities in the deepening phase of intelligent transformation. It aimed to gather industry expertise, explore practical applications of cutting-edge technologies, and identify innovative solutions to overcome scalability barriers, collectively shaping a new benchmark for "evolvable and measurable" smart laboratories.
 
Sunwayworld's technical expert delivered a presentation titled "Data + AI-Driven Smart Laboratory Construction," systematically outlining the core pathways and innovative practices for intelligent upgrades in inspection and testing.

The expert emphasized that smart laboratories have entered the 3.0 phase, characterized by the deep integration of data-driven approaches and intelligent robotics to automate testing processes and enhance operational management. This transformation revolutionizes traditional models and unlocks significant efficiency gains. The presentation also showcased Sunwayworld's innovative case studies, demonstrating how data and AI synergistically drive smart laboratory transitions, offering valuable insights for the industry.
 
Data Assets: The "Smart Engine" of operational management
‌
Today, data assets are pivotal to high-quality laboratory operations. Sunwayworld has developed a 360°digital profiling system covering "personnel, equipment, materials, methods, and environment," providing in-depth insights and data-driven decision-making for refined management.
 
Personnel profiling‌ optimizes organizational structures and targeted training.
Equipment profiling‌ enables lean operations and scientific maintenance.
Client profiling‌ enhances risk management and service quality.
AI predictive models, trained on vast historical data, automatically trigger multi-dimensional alerts (threshold-based, goal-oriented, and predictive), significantly improving foresight and efficiency. Clear data metrics and visualization tools make laboratory management "transparent at a glance."
 
AI Agents: Intelligent Assistants for End-to-End Workflows
‌
Sunwayworld has pioneered SunwayLink, the industry's first AI assistant deeply integrated into core LIMS systems. It offers real-time, intelligent support at any workflow stage:
 

1. Smart customer service‌ instantly responds to inquiries and tracks progress.
2. OCR and machine vision‌ ensure error-free sample registration and automated instrument data capture.
3. Large language models (LLMs)‌ parse complex regulatory clauses and generate structured testing templates.
4. Smart standards libraries‌ build industry knowledge graphs, lowering barriers to expertise.
5. Digital twins and IoT‌ enable intelligent inventory management for samples and consumables.
6. Smart report auditing‌ detects logical inconsistencies and compliance risks.

Additionally, ‌ChatBI‌ facilitates conversational analytics for data-driven decisions, while AI algorithms perform real-time compliance checks on testing databases, flagging anomalies and potential risks.

 
Embodied Intelligence: Pioneering the "Unmanned Laboratory" Future
‌
Notably, Sunwayworld has partnered with the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center to advance embodied intelligence in testing scenarios. Future plans include deploying humanoid robots to automate workflows—from sample preparation to instrument operation—in high-demand sectors like pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, materials, and food. This will reduce labor costs while improving efficiency and reliability.
 
Sunwayworld's innovative framework—combining ‌data-driven strategies, AI agents, and embodied intelligence‌—redefines inspection and testing paradigms, charting a clear path toward more efficient, intelligent, and trustworthy laboratories. The exhibition booth drew significant interest from attendees.
 

Industry Outlook: Smart Ecosystems Reshaping Analytical Testing
‌
The digital transformation wave is profoundly reshaping analytical testing. Traditional laboratories face challenges like data silos, inefficient collaboration, and rising cost pressures. Integrating automation with intelligent management is now critical to scalable, high-quality development.
 
Smart laboratories are not merely about hardware and software upgrades; they represent a fundamental shift in operational models and management philosophies. They are evolving into ‌self-optimizing ecosystems‌ powered by intelligent platforms, seamless human-machine collaboration, and adaptive learning capabilities.
 
In this ecosystem:
 
Smart platforms‌ serve as hubs, aggregating and analyzing real-time data for precise decision-making.
Human-machine synergy‌ ensures smooth interactions among staff, devices, and samples, boosting accuracy.
Self-evolution‌ allows laboratories to continuously refine workflows in response to changing demands.
 
As a leader in this transformation, Sunwayworld remains committed to technological innovation, focusing on ‌AI-driven and data-driven breakthroughs‌ to accelerate smart laboratory adoption. By optimizing processes, enhancing efficiency, and ensuring data reliability, Sunwayworld is setting new benchmarks for the industry's intelligent future.
