Overlord3 - lab automation system

Overlord3 is simple to use software for automating laboratory procedures. It combines instrument control with high performance scheduling - ensuring optimum throughput and error free assay results.

Summary
Fully compatible with the Overlord3 driver library, Overlord3 combines all the existing event-driven, real-time functionality of Overlord3 with the addition of time-resolved static and dynamic scheduling all in one box !

If you are an automation user or an instrument vendor, Overlord3 offers reliable, hassle free assay automation - Overlord3 works 24/7. Advanced error recovery ensures that, should an error be encountered, the system can react and attempt to continue the run, without intervention.

To find out how you can save money and improve your laboratory performance at the same time, contact us now. One of our integration experts would be delighted to speak with you.

What can we do now, we couldn't do before ?
Error free automation, saving you time and money - your automated system is up and running in the shortest possible time. Once running, Overlord3 provides the highest level of reliability requiring minimal attention.
Which scheduler to use - a thing of the past. Overlord3 always presents the optimal solution - guaranteeing your laboratory the highest possible throughput.
392 instrument drivers to control equipment from 124 manufacturers - this means, in most cases you are up and running right away. If a driver is not available, it can be rapidly developed, at a low cost and added to our library. See full Instrument driver list
Reliable, hassle free assay automation - Overlord3 works 24/7. Advanced error recovery ensures that, should an error be encountered, the system can react and attempt to continue the run, without any intervention.
Operators love using the software - Overlord3 is quick and easy to use - load the labware, hit run and walk away!
Overlord3 is the integration and scheduling software of choice - from simply loading an instrument with plates or the most complex assay involving many instruments and multiple robots.
Overlord3 the most cost effective solution - priced per socket (the number sockets is the number of instruments being controlled) makes Overlord3 cost effective no matter the size or complexity of the application.
Overlord3 is available through many systems integrators and instrument vendors or direct from paa - you can benefit from Overlord3 - specify that your systems integrator uses Overlord3, as your automation platform.

Customized automation for best dissolution results

The new Agilent WinUV Dissolution Software generates accurate and robust data. The software supports multiple hardware configurations for sampling, filtering, and archiving your samples. Designed to run on Microsoft® Windows® XP, it provides a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant environment for your laboratory data and operations.

Features
Versatile. Agilent UV Dissolution Software operates both multicell and fiber-optic configurations so you have only one software system to learn for operating either configuration
Functionality. Delivers real-time results, reduces analysts' time and effort, and shortens decision timelines for critical projects
Variable Data Collection Rate. Specify multiple regions in the run, each with a different data collection rate
Secure Data Collection. The Agilent UV Dissolution Software stores data as it is acquired, keeping it secure, even in the event of a power outage
21 CFR Part 11 Compliance. The Spectroscopy Configuration Manager allows you to manage compliance by creating, configuring, and maintaining data in relation to system security, user management, and data paths
Comprehensive Reporting Solution. Customized for your specific needs, colorful graphics showing multiple data points can be included in a report
Multi-component Analysis Capability. Agilent partners with CAMO Software Inc. to integrate The Unscrambler®, an easy-to-use package for multi-component drug product analysis

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 your lab automation system can quickly become a mix of instruments from multiple hardware vendors. You can competitively select the best equipment to meet your unique lab automation requirements.

ReTiSoft has conducted a great deal of research to provide the best schedulers for companies using robotic systems. To improve the throughput of these systems and to account for the error recovery, ReTiSoft includes a dynamic scheduler with lookahead feature within the Genera application. The dynamic scheduler (i.e. an event driven scheduler) relays commands to the system controller and listens for errors and response messages sent by the controller.

Benefits:

Designed for large automated systems.
Increases instrument value.
Reduces integration costs.
Bridges instrument compatibility gap.
Allows to bring new products to market at a faster rate.
Always finds a schedulable solution.
Increases the throughput of a robotic system.
Eliminates the need for operator intervention.
Open software architecture.
Fully compatible with all Windows, Unix and Linux platforms.

Integration Framework Features:

Controls and monitors any laboratory instrument.
Built-in support for reactive scheduling.
Easy integration of instrument drivers.
Displays instrument status.
Allows to add and remove instruments during the run.
XML driven workcell definition.
Displays instrument status.
Generic robotic arm teach pendant.
Logs all the commands, response messages and instrument errors.
Allows seamless integration of third-party software, i.e. 3D simulation tools, LIMS, data tracking or data analysis software.
Easy integration with various report generators, e.g. Excel, Crystal Reports and Internet Explorer 5.x.
Runs in a distributed environment as a server application, thus allowing light-weight clients to connect to it.
Support for Active-X, DDE, RS-232, TCP/IP, CORBA, XML RPC and other instrument integration technologies.
Compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 guidelines.
