-# What is the LARAsuite?
-The LARAsuite is a freely and openly available collection of applications, libraries, databases and tools to plan, manage, 
-create, monitor and evaluate (automated) processes in the laboratory. It has been developed by Mark Dörr and Stefan Maak
-from the [LARA group](https://lara.uni-greifswald.de/team/) at the University of Greifswald.
+## What is LARA Lab Automation?
+
+The LARA Lab automation framework is an open source set of tools and libraries to facilitate laboratory automation. It
+covers all steps of laboratory automation such as process definition, orchestration, scheduling, device communication
+and status tracking.
+The framework is modular and consists of different components that can be used independently or together to create a
+complete laboratory automation solution.
 
-The vision is to cover all steps of laboratory work in a uniform framework with standardized communication protocols and data formats (like SiLA2, AnIML). 
+It has been developed by Mark Dörr and Stefan Maak
+from the [LARA group](https://lara.uni-greifswald.de/team/) at the University of Greifswald.
 
 ## Target Audience
 
 People who have a robotic arm with several devices they can access via SiLA (or at least python) and look for a
 framework do describe, orchestrate and schedule workflows on these devices. Some programming skills are necessary.
 
-## The LARA workflow
-LARA tries to cover all aspects of a common laboratory workflow, starting from the planning of the experiments until the final presentation of the results.
-
-## The LARASuite architecture
-The LARAsuite is modular and consists of different components that can be used independently or together to create a complete laboratory automation solution.

 the dependencies between tasks, and the overall goals of the laboratory automation.
 
 ### Platform status database
+
 The platform status database keeps track of the status of all devices, labware, and substances in the laboratory.
-It provides real-time information to the orchestrator and scheduler. It also provides a UI to set the initial status of the lab.

+
+### SiLA servers
+
+Our framework uses [SiLA2](https://sila-standard.com/) as the standard communication protocol between the orchestrator
+and the devices.
+SiLA2 is a widely used standard in laboratory automation that defines a common interface for laboratory devices.
+However, the core framework is designed to be agnostic about the communication protocol. Other protocols can be used by
+implementing appropriate wrappers.
