Data and automation for laboratories, from someone who has stood at the bench
I am a chemist, I have worked in the laboratory and I have contributed to scientific publications. Today I help laboratories and chemical and pharmaceutical companies turn results, records and sensors into reports that generate themselves and dashboards that stand up to an audit.
- I understand batches, samples, calibrations and traceability without needing them explained
- Test and quality-control reports that generate and validate themselves
- Laboratory dashboards: turnaround times, load per instrument, consumption

Does any of this sound familiar?
These are the situations people call me about. If you recognise one, there are hours to be won back.
Results live in one spreadsheet per instrument or per analyst
Every instrument exports its own format and every person keeps their own sheet. Consolidating a test report or a quality control means copy, paste and hope nobody slipped.
Traceability is reconstructed before every audit
Who did what, with which reagent batch and under which calibration should come out on its own. Today it is dug out of notebooks, emails and folders the week before the visit.
Nobody sees the lab’s workload in time
Turnaround times, pending samples, saturated instruments: you find out when a customer is already waiting, not when the backlog starts to build.
Sensors and instruments produce data nobody uses
Temperatures, consumption, signals from a pilot plant: logged because they have to be, and looked at only after something has failed.
What you get
No slide decks: concrete deliverables your team uses from day one.
Instrument and LIMS integration
Automatic reading of instrument exports, analyst sheets and whatever LIMS or database you use. Data is captured once and never retyped.
Automated test and quality reports
The report in the format you already deliver, generated on its own, with range and consistency checks before it is issued. No figure goes out unvalidated.
Searchable traceability
Who, when, with which batch and which calibration, recorded at the time and retrievable in seconds. It does not replace your quality system: it feeds it and makes it demonstrable.
Laboratory dashboard
Load per instrument and analyst, turnaround times, pending samples, repeats and consumption, in a self-updating dashboard that management understands.
Sensor and plant data
Time series of temperature, humidity, consumption or IoT signals turned into alerts and into reports you can share with customers or partners.
Training and handover
Documentation, a session with the team and 30 days of support. When the project ends, the lab maintains it without depending on me.
A real case
The pattern repeats in almost every project: the process stays the same, it just stops being done by hand.
Scientific and sensor data shared with the whole consortium
Before
European research projects with IoT sensing and test data spread across partners. Every progress report meant collecting and consolidating by hand what each partner measured.
After
Power BI dashboards for the sensing and the analysis of the scientific data, accessible to every partner in the consortium, plus automatic processing of energy invoices with Python for the efficiency projects.

How I work
No six-figure projects or long commitments: we start small and measurable.
Step 1
Free diagnostic call
A 30-minute video call: you walk me through the process and I tell you whether it makes sense, how I would approach it and what it would cost.
Step 2
Fixed-price pilot
A first, well-scoped project with a fixed price agreed up front and a result you can measure.
Step 3
Delivery, training and support
Everything documented and your team trained to maintain it. 30 days of support for questions and adjustments.
Calculator
What does assembling that test report by hand cost today?
Think of the report or quality control someone in the lab consolidates every week from the instruments and the analysts’ sheets. Move the sliders and see what it costs per year. No sign-up.
1 = monthly · 4 = weekly · 20 = every working day
Include checking, fixing and sending. It is usually more than it seems.
Cost to the company, not net salary. An admin role is around €18–25; a manager, €40–60.

Frequently asked questions
Do you know the sector’s quality requirements, such as ISO 17025 or GMP?
Do you work with our LIMS or our instruments?
What about the confidentiality of methods and results?
Is this for a small pharmaceutical company or only for testing laboratories?
How long does it take and how much does it cost?
The next step is a conversation
Which of your lab’s reports is still assembled by hand?
