Atlanta Based Systems just wrapped an outstanding LMT LAB DAY Chicago 2026, and the energy at Booth H-13 was electric from start to finish.
FEATURED PARTNER: LIGHTHOUSE
We were proud to host our guest partner Lighthouse Precision Case Tracking for the official launch of their game-changing digital case pans. These WiFi and Bluetooth-enabled ESLs (with gateway, access point, and sensors) deliver real-time location and status inside your lab. Right now they integrate exclusively with Evolution, the dental lab management software we have been perfecting since 2008.
Labs that stopped by saw live demos of case number, patient name, steps, and technician assignments syncing instantly between Lighthouse and Evolution. The reaction was exactly what we hoped for. Even two of our biggest competitors came by to see it in action.
THE ABS ADVANTAGE
For those who have followed ABS since the very first LMT Lab Day 41 years ago, this moment felt special. We started it all in 1977 with Summit, helped thousands of labs through the transition to our current Evolution platform, and never stopped adding the features and integrations that actually matter to independent dental laboratories:
- Local SQL database (your data stays on-site – it’s yours, you own it)
- Optional web services and mobile apps for every role in the lab
- Doctor Portal with case submission, status tracking, pickup requests, and online payments
- Seamless integrations with iTero and EviSmart scan downloads, QuickBooks GL sync, icortica advanced analytics, credit card processing, major shipping carriers and now Lighthouse
What truly sets us apart is not just the software. It is the support. When you call ABS, a real support technician answers (or calls you back as quickly as possible) and helps configure Evolution to match your lab’s unique workflow. Every new customer gets their own dedicated implementation tech. That level of hands-on partnership is rare in 2026.
THANK YOU, SINCERELY
A huge thank-you to every lab owner, manager, technician, and industry leader who stopped by. Whether you came specifically for Lighthouse or to see the latest Evolution updates, we loved talking with you.



The future of dental lab management is local, customizable, deeply integrated, and backed by people who actually pick up the phone. If you missed us in Chicago, we’d love to bring the demo to you.
