title: Infoteam SiLA library simplifies device integration.
abstract: This article describes device integration with an emerging standard in laboratory automation. The architecture of a library is described, which offers smart adaptation to the standard and a smooth integration into a laboratory automation environment. The library has a plugin interface to allow making any device standard compliant. It allows the use on embedded hardware, and it supports its use with different programming languages. With a tiny starter application, the library can be used as a stand-alone application, and it can be started out of an existing device controller.
