Track layout
The Track Sample Manager (TSM) is configured with the track layout of the laboratory track. The
track layout is designed with the track designer and then is imported into TSM. All information
on the module and track routes used is available.

Routing strategy
On the Track Sample Manager, the routing strategy includes the following components:
• Samples are assigned to the target areas.
NOTE: Area names can be specific to a single module or a module type.
• Loaded CARs are distributed based on the following criteria:
– Analyzer selection (throughput versus uniform)
– Sample prioritization (low, normal, or high)
– Buffering for preferential processing of high-priority samples
• Empty CARs are provided based on the following criteria:
– Module prioritization
– High-priority park lanes
• Circles prevent individual segments from being overfilled.
• Disciplines ensure that samples remain in certain track areas.

Track Workflow Manager interface
The workflow is structured by instructions that the Track Sample Manager (TSM) receives from
the Track Workflow Manager (TWM). TWM is an external component that connects TSM to the
laboratory information system (LIS):
• TWM provides target data and instructions for samples.
• TSM returns arrival information and processing results.
• A simulation environment is available for easier integration.
• Information on available LIS integrations is provided by request.
