In the high-stakes environment of laboratory operations, unexpected downtime is not just an inconvenience—it can be a costly barrier to innovation and customer support. With 82% of organizations experiencing at least one unplanned outage involving critical assets over the past three years, the financial implications are stark, averaging lost production costs of $260,000 per hour.
