Scientific and Lab Equipment

In the scientific and lab equipment market, precision, reliability and compliance are critical. These products – spanning instruments, analytical devices, test systems and capital equipment are complex, high-value and built for long lifecycles. OEMs must ensure accuracy and traceability while handling high-mix, low-to-medium volume production and navigating supply chains, IoT and automation challenges.
