Also this year the Swiss Conference on Lab Automation was held at the University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil. Again, we at Xavo, took the opportunity to listen to exciting lectures and to engage in interesting discussions. The keynote speech by Peter Oliver provocatively showed a view into the future of lab automation. The walk toward this future has already begun, as he pointed out by presenting Sila.

Visual detection was one of the main topics of this year’s symposium, and interesting presentations were given regarding this topic. And once again you could see that issues from the industry certainly keep moving into the research of the life science industry. As most of you know Xavo is pursuing a similar approach with Lab Logistics and bringing years of expertise in logistics processes from manufacturing into the drug discovery industry in life sciences.

The presentations can be downloaded from the website of the organizing Institute ILT (Institute for Laboratory Technology).

For me it was a great day and I’m looking forward to the next symposium.

Xavo is looking for new team members. In all areas of software development and project management from design through development to testing and qualitymanagement, we are constantly looking for committed and motivated employees. We have revised our corporate page and the job portal and look forward to receiving your application.

Dear Friends, Colleagues, Partners and Customers!

2011 was a great year for Xavo. The development of our products Xavo Plant Scheduling and Logistics Lab Xavo was very impressive for us. Our customers were equally impressed at fairs such as the Digital Factory in Hanover or MipTec in Basel, which could also convince them how innovative Xavo products can be. In the project business Xavo is more and more involved in growing and global projects.

We like to thank our customers and partners for the trust and great cooperation. We wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Kind regards
Your Xavo-Team
