A group of students in white lab coats stands around a long bench. A tutor points calmly at a rack of samples, while pipettes are ready to be used. Sunlight streams through large windows, with labels at the stations clearly visible. The scene appears focused, structured, and secure.

A candidate stands at an OSCE station with a marked floor area. An examiner holds a clipboard, while a sanitizer dispenser is ready beside the station. The station is simply numbered, creating a calm and factual setting. This gives an impression of clear processes and fair allocation.

Bring order to the bench and the calendar

Without reliable planning, internships, research, and examinations can quickly go off course.

Uncertain occupancy and double bookings

Excel sheets get misaligned, priorities between internships and research remain unclear, leading to vacancies and bottlenecks. OSCE and station planning consume additional time and remain prone to errors.

Proofs, accesses, and device coordination distributed

Safety instructions, qualifications, and access are scattered across emails. Bottleneck devices are blocked due to missing slots, and maintenance falls during training periods. No-shows distort material planning and billing.

Features for lab occupancy, equipment coordination, and compliance

Manage workspaces, devices, and examination stations centrally. All features are modular and can be adapted to universities, faculties, and research institutions.

Plan occupancy visually and rule-based

Manage bench spaces, devices, and OSCE stations centrally. Visualize occupancy in a 3D plan and set rules, priorities, and buffer times.

  • Filter by location, category, and time slot

  • Waitlist automatically fills available slots

  • Dependencies between resources

  • Subscriptions and memberships for authorizations

  • Check-in and check-out with audit trail

Industry Insights

How Digital Booking Management is Transforming Lab Operations

Transparent availability and binding slots are crucial in laboratories because teaching and research operations run simultaneously. Younger generations expect a self-service online booking instead of telephone chains. At the same time, demands for traceability, security, and audit capability are increasing.

Digital occupancy planning makes rules and dependencies visible: Who is allowed to use which station and when, what qualifications are necessary, and what buffers need to be scheduled. This increases fairness with bottleneck equipment, reduces downtime, and prevents ad-hoc blockages. Real-time changes are immediately visible to everyone, making OSCE, internships, and research more plannable. With SSO and role models, access remains convenient and secure, while data is cleanly available for controlling and materials management.
