Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced the introduction of its Momentum workflow software for laboratory applications. It lets users define, execute and monitor complex processes in a powerful yet easy-to-use visual environment. As an intelligent solution, the software enables multiple workflows via real-time, data-driven decision-making; eliminating the need for customised data handling. Its open topology editor allows the user to specify the design, configuration and operation of their individual system and plug-in different schedulers to support a broad range of processes and workflows. Users can also manage multiple islands of automation, treating them as part of a larger connected system.
