Revolution (robotics/automation scheduler suite)



Revolution is a powerful, modular and extensible automation schedule control solution for HTS drug discovery systems and other lab automation. With the unique integrated 3D simulator users can simulate assay execution before moving to the real hardware.

Powerful scheduling features, detailed event recording, full labware tracking and intuitive error handling combine to create a world beating scheduler solution. 		 


Suite features:
  • Easy to use, easy to setup and easy to add new instruments
  • User friendly and modern configuration editor that supports schedule editing, storage device mapping, device configuration management and labware type specification
  • Integrated 3D simulator to support a rich simulation experience to aid in all aspects of design from system specification to schedule editing and user training
  • Integrated event logger shows easy to understand timeline of operations and events
  • Flexible and powerful error handling and notification to help avoid any unnecessary loss of labware
  • Fully internationalized user interface which supports dynamic changes of user interface language
  • Supports instrument classification and access via generic interfaces (as required) to support the access of similar devices via the same interface.
  • Supports extensible labware representation. The scheduler can handle and present data related to almost any kind of labware and allow the user to control and visualize data at different levels such as batch/plate/well (or rack/tube) etc.
  • Supports integration or control from third party applications such as LIMS and high level control applications.
  • Supports cherry picking.
  • Supports instrument pooling and failover.
  • Built in inventory management and labware tracking so you can see what is where and also what operations have been performed on each labware item.
  • Powerful search feature supports searching for labware items by barcode, use of devices and operations, use of schedules and also searching of event logs.
  • Accurate and secure sample data handling.

UNHAPPY WITH YOUR SCHEDULER SOFTWARE?
WHY NOT UPGRADE TO REVOLUTION?
Maybe your are unhappy with the error handling capabilities, or the general stability of your current scheduler.

Maybe you cannot integrate a new instrument or the software does not support the features you need for your assays.

Maybe you have to call the vendor every time you need to make a change or add a new instrument.

These are all things that we have heard before and can address by replacing your existing scheduler with Revolution.

You may think that it is not possible to replace the scheduler software that was provided by the integrator that you originally purchased the system from. No doubt you will be pleased to learn that this is not the case. We have installed, commissioned and tested Revolution on 3rd party systems in less time than the original vendor took to setup their own scheduler. Transition periods can be as short as a few days for simple systems with minimal inconvenience and very little interruption to normal service. Once the installation and SAT is complete our users benefit from the superior features of Revolution and also find that adapting and learning to use the new scheduler is an intuitive and rewarding experience. Please don't take our word for it when you can read what Revolution users say. Please contact us for more information.



Try before you buy ...
Revolution's unique 3D simulator allows you to build a 3D replica of your new or existing automation system. This is done by just dragging and dropping instruments into the simulator. You can then run Revolution and watch the real time 3D simulation of your system. This allows you to study throughput and alter your system design to eliminate bottlenecks.
