SiLA

Standardization in Lab Automation: Open communication standard for networking software systems in laboratories and laboratory equipment. The SiLA organization has set itself the goal of creating international standards that enable open connectivity in laboratory automation. The vision of SiLA is to create interoperability, flexibility and resource optimization for the integration of laboratory equipment and software services based on standardized communication protocols and content specifications. SiLA 2 is a "micro-service" framework and is based on open, well-established communication protocols and defines the common concepts and a vocabulary or taxonomy needed in the (scientific) laboratory.
