Designing for Automation: When Robots Move In
Robots don't need coffee breaks, but they do need reinforced floors and massive cooling. Designing the automated wing.
Digital Twin Integration: Visualizing Operations in Real-Time
You can't optimize what you can't see. Why the most important asset in your new lab is its digital replica.
The "Collab-Corridor": Designing Zones for Serendipity
Innovation happens in the hallway. Designing 'collision zones' to break down the Wet/Dry silo.
