End-to-end AI-driven lab automation for smarter workflows

Velsson Technology’s mission is to make laboratories smarter, simpler, and more efficient through the power of automation and AI. In this SelectScience interview, James Chen, Founder and CEO, explains how Velsson integrates robotics, hardware, software, and artificial intelligence into a fully connected, end-to-end platform. This unified approach enables laboratories to transition from isolated, fragmented systems to scalable, cohesive solutions that significantly enhance speed, throughput, and data generation. Eric Yang, Velsson’s Managing Director, further describes how the INNOSMART D8 works seamlessly with the Smart Laboratory Management System (SLMS) platform to unify instruments, workflows, and data within a modular, open architecture. Together, these solutions create an integrated ecosystem designed to drive operational efficiency, flexibility, and long-term scalability for modern laboratories.
