Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided. The method comprises: accessing, by a first computing device, sample-processing data, wherein the sample-processing data comprise information indicative of a set of procedures to be carried out on a biological sample, wherein each procedure comprises one or more actions; obtaining, by the first computing device, ALS1 state data, wherein the ALS1 state data comprise information indicative of a state of a first automated laboratory system-ALS1; obtaining, by the first computing device, ALS2 operation data, wherein the ALS2 operation data comprise information indicative of an ALS2 set of actions of at least a first procedure, wherein the ALS2 set of actions either has been carried out or is scheduled to be carried out by a second automated laboratory system-ALS2-on the biological sample; generating, by the first computing device, ALS1 processing data by using the sample-processing data, the ALS1 state data and the ALS2 operation data, wherein the ALS1 processing data comprise information indicative of an ALS1 set of actions of at least a second procedure of the sets of procedures; and initiating, by the first computing device, the generation of an ALS1 route plan for the first automated laboratory system, the ALS1 route plan being based on the ALS1 processing data.

Abstract: In a scenario where a laboratory is required to perform a plurality of tests on biological samples from a plurality of tubes in a manner that satisfies certain constraints, it is possible that the laboratory could handle the samples and assign them to machines in a manner which ensures that the relevant constraints are met. This could include using matrices and optimization functions to represent tubes, tests, machines and prescriptions, and could also include dynamically determining whether and how to aliquot the samples so as to meet the constraints given the conditions under which the samples would be processed.

Abstract: A method for solving the facility layout problem using a heuristic approach allows for multiple, highly efficient solutions to be automatically generated even when dealing with medium and large scale environments. Inputs to the method include a number of facilities each having a discipline and a dimension that must be placed in a laboratory area having a dimension and an entrance. The method sorts and begins to place facilities to generate a number of partial solutions, and each partial solution can be expanded until a final solution is reached or a termination criteria is satisfied. Expanded solutions that reach a final solution are reduced to a diverse set of solutions using a diversity measure. The reduced set of diverse solutions may then be improved upon using an optimization algorithm with less concern about efficiency.
