Latest Patents
Yannic Hafner holds a patent for a "Method of operating a laboratory sample distribution system, laboratory sample distribution system and laboratory automation system." This patent presents a method that involves container carriers, a transport plane, and drive elements. The system is designed to carry sample containers efficiently. The method includes planning a movement path for a container carrier from a start to a goal on a transport plane modeled by nodes. The nodes can be free for one time-window or reserved for a one-time window. The planning process analyzes the reachability from a free time-window of one node to free time-windows of the next nodes, ensuring that the planned movement of the container carrier is nonstop. The method also involves reserving the planned movement path, which consists of a sequence of time-windows of nodes, and moving the container carrier along this reserved path using a drive element. This innovation enhances the operational capabilities of laboratory systems.
