“…In addition, an increased rise of process-oriented solutions for laboratory data processing (e.g., LIMSs) can be noticed, which also introduces its own process control languages for subworkflows. 4,8 The synergy potential of BPMSs and generic information management solutions, for example, LIMSs and ELNs, was also investigated. For every process run (instance) caused by the variable process workflow control of the BPMS, individual process results and execution data occur, which should be recorded automatically as far as possible.…”

“…When LESs themselves do not provide appropriate process documentation, master data management, measurement data acquisition and processing, sample tracking, process template management, and report and documentation management, [4][5][6][7][8] they require additional IT system integrations, for example, laboratory information management systems (LIMSs), 9 electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs), 10,11 or scientific data management systems (SDMSs). 12…”

Modern business process management (BPM) is increasingly interesting for laboratory automation. End-to-end workflow automation and improved top-level systems integration for information technology (IT) and automation systems are especially prominent objectives. With the ISO Standard Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) 2.X, a system-independent and interdisciplinary accepted graphical process control notation is provided, allowing process analysis, while also being executable. The transfer of BPM solutions to structured laboratory automation places novel demands, for example, concerning the real-time-critical process and systems integration. The article discusses the potential of laboratory execution systems (LESs) for an easier implementation of the business process management system (BPMS) in hierarchical laboratory automation. In particular, complex application scenarios, including long process chains based on, for example, several distributed automation islands and mobile laboratory robots for a material transport, are difficult to handle in BPMSs. The presented approach deals with the displacement of workflow control tasks into life science specialized LESs, the reduction of numerous different interfaces between BPMSs and subsystems, and the simplification of complex process modelings. Thus, the integration effort for complex laboratory workflows can be significantly reduced for strictly structured automation solutions. An example application, consisting of a mixture of manual and automated subprocesses, is demonstrated by the presented BPMS-LES approach.

Für die flexible Workflowautomation unter Einbeziehung hybrider und heterogener Automations‐ und IT‐Systeme wird ein neuer Lösungsansatz vorgestellt. Er beruht auf der 2013 zum ISO‐Standard erhobenen Prozessnotation (BPMN 2.0). Gegenstand der drei vorgestellten, verallgemeinerbaren Prototypanwendungen ist die Life Science Automation. Das Potenzial von BPMN als Automationssprache wird dabei unter drei Gesichtspunkten betrachtet: dem durchgängigen Workflowsteuerungsansatz (Ende‐zu‐Ende‐Prinzip), dem Unterstützungspotenzial von manuellen Prozessschritten zwischen automatisierten Abläufen und der Erschließung der Workflowautomation in Entwicklungsprozessen.
