General operation
Autonomous transport vehicles, referred to as CARs, are used to distribute the samples. The
CARs move toward the various modules and analyzers by using right-hand traffic paths on the
track.
The samples are supplied to the laboratory automation system (LAS) by input modules such
as the Input/Output Module (IOM). When a robot-mounted gripper picks up a sample, the bar
code is read by a bar code reader and forwarded to an interface referred to as the Track Sample
Manager (TSM). TSM uses the sample ID and the order data to calculate the optimum route to
the individual analyzers.
TSM controls the CARs according to the received information. TSM uses the CAR ID to locate
each CAR and each sample in the LAS.
Changes to the analysis order are supported in real time. Samples may be requested at any
time. After the analysis processes have been completed, the samples are retained for a defined
period of time for potential additional orders, are disposed, or are placed into racks for manual
removal from the IOM.
