Artificial Intelligence in the Lab: Secure, Efficient, and Practical with diaLIMS
Make AI your intelligent assistant.
Manual routines and time-consuming documentation tie up valuable resources in the lab. With diaLIMS, you can integrate artificial intelligence as a secure, productive, and GDPR-compliant tool directly into your daily workflow, while also gaining an innovative partner for new ideas in research and development.
The clear rule here: AI suggests, you decide!
This way, you significantly reduce your team’s workload, automate workflows, save measurable time, and retain full control over your data.
AI in Everyday Lab Life - What's Already Possible Today
Complete routine tasks in seconds instead of hours. diaLIMS already offers powerful AI features that you can put to productive use right away.
- Natural language search & dynamic filters: Easily search for data using natural language (e.g., “What limit violations occurred last month?”). The AI converts your search queries directly into reusable quick filters for dashboards and worklists.
- Intelligent Help Function: No more tedious searching through extensive documentation. The AI assistant answers your questions about applications, functions, and modules with precision and context.
- Automated Image Analysis: Let the AI handle time-consuming tasks such as automatically detecting and counting colonies on Petri dishes.
Workflow Automation & AI Assistant
Using the open MCP (Model Context Protocol) standard, we are gradually transforming the AI into an autonomous agent that supports you in complex workflows.
- Document processing made easy: The AI automatically interprets incoming emails, PDFs, or sample accompanying documents and independently creates customer records, orders, or samples based on them.
- Test report drafts & data validation: The AI checks whether all relevant data has been entered and creates structured reports with professional wording suggestions.
- Macro generation at the click of a button: Let the AI generate complex macros for intricate workflows. These are then available to your AI agents for extensive automation.
Your intelligent partner in Research & Development (R&D)
Our roadmap for the future: diaLIMS AI will become more than just an assistance system—it will serve as your creative source of ideas for formulation development.
- Design of Experiments (DoE): AI-supported DoE methods enable highly efficient experimental designs. This allows you to achieve your goals with a minimal number of physical test runs.
- Targeted property optimization: Let the AI automatically optimize parameters such as gloss, stability, viscosity, or other specific target properties in the future.
- Formulation simulation: Simulate and evaluate different formulation variants digitally, even before the first real-world test takes place in the lab.
Full Control & Transparency (Human-in-the-Loop)
diaLIMS AI takes work off your hands, but never takes control away from you. We adhere to the “human-in-the-loop” principle. We do not place blind trust in AI.
- Edit preview (diff view): Before data is changed, a clear diff view shows you all affected fields and n.ew values. The lab technician ultimately decides whether to apply the changes.
- Strict Authorization Checks: AI never has more rights than the respective user. It operates in full compliance with your user rights, project boundaries, and client segregation.
- Complete Logging: Every AI action is documented transparently and traceably for maximum auditability—from the request through the “thinking process” to the suggested value.
Data Protection & Compliance (Ready for the EU AI Act)
Don’t hesitate out of concern for your sensitive lab data. Our architecture is designed to meet the highest security and compliance requirements (including the EU AI Act).
- EU Data Boundary & GDPR-compliant: Guaranteed no data leakage. Hosting takes place exclusively in modern, secure Microsoft Azure data centers within the EU (Sweden Central) . End-to-end encryption and zero-trust architecture are included.
- Your data remains your data: We use Microsoft AI Foundry. The AI models are operated centrally, but your company data is never used for model training.
Responsible use: With diaLIMS, governance guidelines, risk analyses, and documentation requirements (as required by the EU AI Act) can be securely implemented.
