LabTEK: Research Equipment Repository at WPI

As WPI's research activities continue to expand, there is an increasing need for software tools that support effective communication and inform faculty, students, and staff. Recognizing this, the Research Division and Information Technology Services (ITS) have partnered to create LabTEK, a new resource designed for WPI researchers and their external collaborators.

LabTEK Lab Asset Database

LabTEK introduces a comprehensive asset database and equipment ticketing system, offering the following benefits:

• Provides a more complete resource for shared capital research instrumentation.
• Inform researchers about existing capabilities across the campus.
• Enables efficient tracking and management of capital lab instrumentation.
• Supports replacement decisions through integrated reporting tools and synchronization with Workday.
• Replaces the former labequipment.wpi.edu site with more detailed information and a simplified presentation.

Initial Release

The Team has completed the initial rollout of LabTEK focusing on a subset of service centers across the WPI campus.  Please visit the LabTEK website utilizing the LabTEK icon at https://help.wpi.edu. 

Additional communication will be forthcoming as the Team adds “Phase II” of assets from the overall WPI Fixed Assets. 

Feedback on the system is welcomed by emailing VPRI-shared-facilities@wpi.edu.
