Abstract: This paper addresses key challenges in traditional laboratory management, including outdated models, inefficient use of experimental equipment and funds, incomplete mechanisms for openness and sharing, inadequate safety management frameworks, and the lack of professional skills among laboratory personnel. It critically examines the limitations of the current management model for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) chemistry laboratories. In the context of the “Internet + TCM” era, the study explores the implementation of a smart laboratory management system, aiming to enhance resource sharing, elevate the management standards of TCM chemistry laboratories in academic institutions, and provide reference strategies for further optimization.
