Abstract

Systems and methods for filling cassettes consistent with sets of seeds are provided. One example computer-implemented method includes, in response to a request for a schedule to fill a plurality of the cassettes, accessing data associated with the cassettes including a seed set specific to each of the cassettes and generating a schedule to fill the plurality of cassettes with seeds, consistent with the seed sets specific to the plurality of cassettes, via a gantry, multiple counting stations, and a filling station, based on a throughput of the gantry, the multiple counting stations, and the filling station. The method then includes executing the schedule at the gantry, the multiple counting stations, and the filling station to fill at least a portion of the plurality of cassettes with the appropriate sets of seeds consistent with the schedule.
