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.
