Abstract
Laboratory automation is reviewed from the perspectives of the current definitions. It is concluded that a new specific definition of the term is required to understand the problems posed. This definition consists of four elements: instrument automation, communications, data-to-information conversion and information management. From the understanding engendered by this definition, a laboratory is able to formulate a strategic plan under which all automation projects can be proposed, defined and implemented.
