Modularity is not just for factories. It is equally powerful in the lab.
This session shows how MTP principles can be applied to lab automation—long before full‑scale production is even on the horizon. Using a real startup case, the talk explains how complex lab systems can be built from small, independent modules that are tested, documented, and reused with confidence.
Instead of forcing full MTP compliance, the approach borrows the philosophy of MTP: clear interfaces, modular responsibility, traceability, and compliance by design. Cameras, OCR modules, volume‑adjustment units and robots are treated as individual process equipment assemblies—each with defined behaviour and validation evidence.
For engineers working with R&D, scale‑ups, or lab systems bound for regulated environments, this session delivers a crucial insight:
you don’t scale quality after innovation—you build it in early.
A compelling example of how MTP thinking creates flexibility, robustness, and business value where speed matters most.
