Thermo Fisher Scientific Introduces Sophisticated
Laboratory Automation Workflow Software
Thermo Scientific Momentum is the first process and data
integration software to provide standardized real-time, data-driven decision
making.
Thermo
Scientific Momentum lets users define, execute and monitor complex processes in
a powerful yet easy-to-use visual environment. As an intelligent solution, the
software enables multiple workflows via real-time, data-driven decision-making;
eliminating the need for customized data handling. Its open topology editor
allows the user to specify the design, configuration and operation of their
individual system and plug-in different schedulers to support a broad range of
processes and workflows. Users can also manage multiple islands of automation,
treating them as part of a larger connected system.
Momentum is
well suited for numerous automation applications including hit picking and
inventory management, HTS/HCS screening, automated cell/tissue culture
applications, and laboratory workflow management, among many others. The
software topology editor is so remarkably flexible that the solution can empower
a wide variety of applications including analysis, measurement and
control.
The composite
user interface is built on a .NET platform for easy configuration and
customization. This state-of-the-art software presents data from a variety of
instruments in a standardized format for consistent storage in the SQL database.
Momentum also provides full audit trails and detailed error logging for process
traceability. Dynamic rescheduling and innovative instrument pooling
accommodates workflow changes, instrument hot-swapping and more. Momentum
is compatible with any combination of instruments and plate movers, independent
of vendor. Its ability to integrate and monitor automated, manual and
delocalized systems facilitates the easy incorporation of new or upgraded
technology or processes, ensuring exceptional operational
longevity.
