Sumario:This article presents a general way to enable automatic generation of digitized laboratories (a sort of digital twin for laboratory experimental setups) from remote laboratories and their easy deployment and publication. To demonstrate its effectiveness, we use two existing tools to generate and publish two digitized laboratories online from two implementations of a Snell's law remote laboratory, although they could be applied to many other remote laboratories. The first of these tools is a communication protocol that was designed to manipulate laboratory equipment through the Internet. This protocol can be used to automatically loop through different possible laboratory states and store them. The second one is a web platform that allows uploading files, that contain data sets of the laboratory states, to publish the digitized laboratory as a web application that is generated automatically.
