Next in lab automation software: flexible scheduling and workflow creation

The life sciences industry is moving beyond automating single workflows on a single set of devices. It is now aiming for automation across entire laboratories and sites. This vision of a fully orchestrated lab requires a platform that can handle the complexity and scale of the entire lab ecosystem.

The scheduling software needs to be optimised across multiple devices throughout the lab. Data flows need to cover the end-to-end lifecycle of workflows. Responses to errors or human intervention need to be more robust than ever.

Discover how a hybrid approach combining the best of static and dynamic scheduling, along with a simple yet powerful workflow builder, can significantly enhance iteration speed in R&D labs.

João Pereira, Product Manager at Automata, explores the distinctions among various lab automation schedulers and introduces a new hybrid strategy: a dynamic replanning scheduler.

This innovative scheduler combines established constraints for efficient workflow planning and resource allocation with the latest solving algorithms to ensure that workflow delivery remains on schedule.

Learn how this innovative approach enables batch parallelisation, real-time error handling, dynamic rerouting, and deadlock prevention to streamline processes, improve data quality, and accelerate your research outcomes with cutting-edge automation solutions.

Ultimately, deploying a scalable, smart, and self-optimising lab environment will significantly accelerate the discovery and development of life-saving therapies.
