Purpose of presentation to show …
Software options– Vendor specific– Vendor independent
Hardware options– Usually decided by user
Systems integration– Putting the system together
Tailoring projects– Making the system useable
analyze sample
prepare sample

Laboratory automation - the process
collect sample
report results
Key system requirements
Run a batch of plates Run another batch of plates if present Keep track of the data Reliable Easy to use
Software Choices
Event driven/real-time scheduler/sequencer– Can handle timings– Can handle decisions– Can handle unknown plate quantities
Overlord2 is an EVENT DRIVEN SCHEDULER Time driven/static scheduler
– Handles multiple timings (incubations) Overlord Scheduler is a TIME RESOLVED
SCHEDULER
control and scheduling software
STATIC
hit the GO button
know exactly what will happen
at any time in the process
EVENT DRIVEN
hit the GO button
Follow a process
control software - summary
Event driven scheduling– Overlord2– real-time
static scheduling– OVERLORD Scheduler– time driven
Either
common features
support for over 300 instruments data handling facilities utilizes original instrument software can integrate with most databases
– SQL server, oracle, access 21 CFR part 11 compliant full system tracking error notification error recovery

Overlord2 - Customizable
user GUI & runtime module separable can use different GUI, Microsoft Excel could be used different run engines can be run processes the flow using Overlord variables overlord instrument drivers developed quickly all components can be modified master or slave all errors handled with different options .NET framework, API will be utilized flexible GUI makes writing assays easier
