  The laboratories and research institutes are the major places for
cutting-edge scientific exploration. Hundreds of millions of research papers
were formed from front-line labs. Behind this glorious achievement were
unsustainable facts. More and more human investment is required in innovative
experimental design and analysis of results. However, the laboratory operating
environment has not been subversively transformed for centuries. This abstract
proposed a smart tracking system, consisting of IoT and Data Visualization
technologies, to track the chemicals in an automatic and timely approach.
Positive feedback has been collected from pilot tests in several labs. The
system benefits various lab users in their daily work and improves their
working efficiency. In the long run, it will play an essential role in
promoting the efficient use of lab resources and achieving the goal of
sustainable labs.
