SiLA

Standardisation in Lab Automation: Open communication standard for networking software systems in the laboratory and laboratory equipment. The SiLA organisation aims to create international standards that enable open connectivity in laboratory automation. The vision of SiLA is to create interoperability, flexibility and resource optimisation for the integration of laboratory devices and software services based on standardised 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 (science) laboratory.
