LABORATORY SYSTEM COMPRISING AT LEAST PARTIALLY NETWORKED LABORATORY DEVICES, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A LABORATORY SYSTEM COMPRISING AT LEAST PARTIALLY NETWORKED LABORATORY DEVICES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for controlling a laboratory system comprising at least partially networked laboratory devices for processing samples by means of laboratory processes performed by the laboratory devices, the method comprising: - a process detection step (S1), in which samples to be processed and/or laboratory processes to be performed with the samples are detected via a detection unit (05); - a status determination step (S3), in which a response of networked laboratory devices regarding the current and/or future status and/or the termination of sample processing is obtained by the laboratory devices; - a task update step (S4), in which a task list, at least for the processing of certain samples by means of a certain laboratory device or a plurality of certain laboratory devices in a certain order, is created or updated by a task generation unit at least from the detected samples and/or laboratory processes and/or on the basis of the status of the laboratory devices, in particular by considering predefined prioritisation rules and/or weighting factors; - a management step (S5), in which management instructions are generated and output by a management system on the basis of the current task list, by means of which management instructions detected samples are brought at least indirectly to at least one laboratory device; and - a transport means control step (S6), in which transport means control instructions are generated by a transport means control system on the basis of control instructions and are transmitted to at least one transport means configured as a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle (04)) at least for the transport of detected samples.
