A standard Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing architecture consists of the following:

- Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing SQL Server (AXPDM database): used to store the following data:
  - Configuration for the Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing Client and audit trail for configuration change.
  - Connection parameters to the D365 F&SCM environment.
  - Scales/barcode connection parameters.
  - Scale calibration data.
  - Event log – List of all actions performed in the Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing application, when and by whom.
- File server: used to store Scales drivers and report layouts.
- Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing Client: frontend app used for Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing.
- Scale: scale connected to the Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing App.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> SDN recommends hosting the SQL and File server using the same service as a virtual machine on Microsoft Azure. This approach leverages Azure’s high-availability features.

For information about the minimum requirements and installation of the components, please refer to the “[Installation Guide for Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/LSS_IGU_002_Installation-Guide-for-Weighing-and-Dispensing_Ver8.0.pdf)”.

A standard Label Printing architecture consists of the following:

- Azure storage: Azure resource used to store files for labels. SDN suggested type: Standard general-purpose v2.
- Azure Logic App + Azure Gateway: used to move the file generated from D365 and uploaded on Azure from Azure Storage resource to the local network.
- Server:
  - On-premises gateway: used to move the file from Azure to the local network.
  - Label software: used to define label layout and print labels.
- Printer: a device used to print labels.
