SIEMENS | The Box

Middleware for Robotic Lab Automation

The Box is an automation solution offered by Siemens Healthineers for smaller and medium-sized hospital laboratories, addressing staffing challenges and enabling 24/7 lab services. It combines anayzers with robotic arms, providing efficient and reliable support to lab personnel in an automated autonomous environment.

Features

 Connectivity

Consolidates the order and result workflow between Dimension® (clinical chemistry), Sysmex® XN-1000 (hematology) and Sysmex® CS-2500 (coagulation) instruments and the LIS into a single interface.

 Intelligent Sample Routing

The middleware manages sample routing including priority management as well as add-on and re-run orders.

 Safety Checks

Compare sample tube and cap details, labels and information received from the LIS to identify mistakes and mixups. Samples failing the plausibility check are routed for manual resolution.

 Rule Engine

Automatically and systematically apply custom rules to perform auto-verification, reflex testing, calculated results, advanced test routing and any sample and result processing.

 Traceability

Full transparancy and traceability of a sample's route throughout the processing from reception to analysis and archiving

 Data Management

If desired, the software can manage a large amount of results, thus supporting configurable data retention.

The solution is a collaboration between SIEMENS, the United Robotics Group (URG) and Intellitec and is available from SIEMENS Healthcare Diagnostics in Germany
