- Better resource planning
- Notification options
- Modifications on-the-fly
- Track equipment
plate::works™ Key Features
| Event Driven Scheduling | plate::worksTM software combines the advantages of dynamic and static scheduling enabling operators to control and fine-tune dynamic scheduling by adding constraints and/or controlling elements |
|---|---|
| Real Time Decision Making & Re-Scheduling | Scheduler supports on-the-fly re-scheduling, enabling operators to update critical method parameters at any time, plates to be treated depending on conditions and for system to respond to results or external triggers/inputs |
| Parallel Methods | Scheduler able to support multiple independent methods being executed in parallel |
| Continuous/On-Demand Processing | Scheduler supports continuous plate processing allowing new sample plates and labware to be added to an already running process as well as an on-demand processing with system to process sample plates when they become available |
| Pooling | Up to 3 identical instruments to be treated as one logical instrument (for easier programming and added redundancy) |
| Simulations | Quickly optimize workflows (test different process variants and conditions) and to check for correct execution prior to committing time and reagents |
| 21CFR11 Support | plate::worksTM to support setting-up regulated processes by providing user rights management and by logging changes being made to methods |
| Worklist Support | Plate/sample specific parameters or conditions (i.e. incubation times, dispense volumes, etc) can be read from worklists. Support for cherry picking, normalization and other tasks relaying on external information |
| Scripting Support | Enabling operators to add own functionality to scheduling process |
| Offline Use | plate::worksTM software supports operators taking critical detection instruments offline and to use manually up til the point where the instrument is needed to support the automated process |
| Add-ons/Options | Email Notification, HTML Help System, Job::Manager Process Planner, Wellmap::creator Transfer Map Editor |
For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
