abstract = {{With the advancements in beamline instrumentation, synchrotron research facilities have seen a significant improvement. The detectors used today can generate thousands of frames within seconds. Consequently, an organized and adaptable framework is essential to facilitate the efficient access and assessment of the enormous volumes of data produced. Our communication presents a metadata management solution recently implemented at MAX IV, which automatically retrieves and records metadata from Tango devices relevant to the current experiment. The solution includes user-selected scientific metadata and predefined defaults related to the beamline setup, which are integrated into the Sardana control system and automatically recorded during each scan via the SciFish library. The metadata recorded is stored in the SciCat database, which can be accessed through a web-based interface called Scanlog. The interface, built on ReactJS, allows users to easily sort, filter, and extract important information from the recorded metadata. The tool also provides real-time access to metadata, enabling users to monitor experiments and export data for post-processing. These new software tools ensure that recorded data is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) for many years to come. Collaborations are on-going to develop these tools at other particle accelerator research facilities. }},
