Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Mature, open, gRPC-based spec with royalty-free SDKs and multi-language refs; the main risk is ecosystem breadth and parked OSS entry points, not the standard itself.
Next
Pilot one instrument behind a SiLA 2 server using the Tecan (.NET) or UniteLabs (Python) SDK; require an interoperability-checker pass (150+ test cases) before committing the integration layer, and wrap it with a fallback adapter.
