PAA's Overlord-2

Overlord2™ operates in a Windows 2000/XP/Vista environment with a drag and drop icon based interface for ease of use. It utilizes the native software of ancillary equipment for maximum flexibility. Even the most complex system is now easy to program, and the most complex instrumentation is easy to integrate.

Overlord2 is an icon based drag and drop set-up with a flow chart interface. It excels at sample manipulation and data handling and utilizes original instrumentation software for maximum flexibility. It features easy integration with other equipment and well as integration for ancillary equipment. It allows full sample tracking in real time, has a full sample audit trail and report facilities, and has password protection. Its simple procedural control language also has an on-line context-sensitive help screen.

Choosing Overlord2 to control your automated sample preparation will give you the easiest control language to understand and use. Documentation, both setting up and at runtime, makes meeting regulatory requirements far simpler than competing control systems.

PAA offers systems that consist of a simple workcell, such as a KiNEDx with a barcode reader and plate reader, to large multi robot arm systems. PAA’s software package, Overlord2, offers a huge number of features with an easy-to-use user interface. For a laboratory automation solution in Europe or Japan, please contact PAA. More>

ReTiSoft's Genera Suite

ReTiSoft’s Genera Suite was developed using an object oriented design. The software is built upon an open and extensible architecture that allows the user to control and monitor any instrument. With Genera Suite your lab automation system can quickly become a mix of instruments from multiple hardware vendors. You can competitively select the best-of-breed equipment to meet your unique lab automation requirements. To improve the throughput on automated systems and to account for error recovery, Genera Suite includes a true hybrid scheduler. The hybrid scheduler (i.e. an event driven and time driven scheduler) relays commands to the system controller and listens for errors and response messages sent by the controller.

Our NeXus product features an easy to use scheduler and our popular integration framework bundled as one package. NeXus will bridge the integration and compatibility gap between different instruments, as well as provide you with a simple way to set up your assays.

DataPilot, along with its database, complements our existing product offerings for the laboratory automation market. The application stores all the data gathered during the run of an automated system. With DataPilot users can also remotely control and monitor the system as well as view the data via Netscape or Internet Explorer browsers.

Velocity11's VWorks

Using the VWorks® software, a research enterprise can tie together disparate devices from a variety of vendors in robotics, liquid handlers, readers, washers, and others to deliver a cohesive, integrated system that helps laboratories ensure maximum throughput and optimal resource utilization. With its graphical user interface, users can quickly drag and drop to create new protocols, connect ands configure devices, and monitor run progress. This one software platform in your laboratories means you can reduce training costs and maximize productivity.

The main interface of the VWorks software is its powerful graphical Protocol Editor for creating protocols and for executing and monitoring automated processes. A simple drag-and-drop interface, VWorks software enables the operator to quickly create and edit complex protocols. Multiple microplates can be defined, and processes and task parameters can be easily adjusted. During protocol execution, the graphical interface illustrates the processing of sample microplates through the system. More>
