Hudson Control Group Introduces SoftLinx for Systems™: Software that makes dynamic scheduling, multi-tasking of applications and custom modification easy

Hudson Control Group has recently announced the availability of a new high-powered version of their standard SoftLinx™ scheduling software. The new software, SoftLinx for Systems™, enhances standard SoftLinx™’ multi-tasking and optimal scheduling capability with unmatched capability to transport plates between any instruments in an integrated system in any order.

This software also optimizes equipment usage by enabling it to be used for different processes simultaneously. SoftLinx for Systems™ allows users to start and run additional methods, even while others are already running, even using the same instruments, pre-planned or not. Users can write their own, custom interfaces as well. This means that every Hudson system is actually many systems in one and allows lab personnel the flexibility and ease of operation of their lab automation workcell.

SoftLinx for Systems™ takes advantage of Hudson’s LabLinx® and PlateCrane EX®plate transport technologies to perform simultaneous operations that far outclass any track-based robot arm or plate-handling pipetting robot on the market.
