Laboratory management: Digital laboratory information system (DLIS) concept

Abstract

Laboratory has an important role in the process of education and learning, they are a lot of data inside laboratory, such as: Information and condition of goods, inventory of Laboratory instrument, component and devices, logbook, lending, scheduling, etc. Nowadays there are many laboratories are currently still using conventional methods in managing laboratory data, in this paper will discuss a concept for managing laboratory data digitally using a computer system which integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT) system, this concept is called Digital Laboratory Information System (DLIS), this concept offers many advantages for user or the administrator of laboratory data manager. DLIS concept makes data more flexible to changes, easier to update and upgrade data. DLIS allows access from outside the laboratory using the IoT method, so that users can access laboratory data without being constrained by distance and time.
