Fleet Configuration

Build and Compare Execution Strategies for Your Workflows

Fleet Configuration works in two steps. In the Configuration Studio you build one or more execution strategies by matching equipment to the steps of a workflow, using the demand or scale goals that apply — samples per batch, batches per week, working volume. Then you select the objective you are optimizing for. The Optimization Analyzer compares those strategies under Monte Carlo simulation in order to recommend a winner.

Configuration Studio

A workflow describes the science. A configuration describes the science on your bench — this protocol, on these instruments, in this room, run by these people.

Binding a workflow to a site's equipment, with unfilled steps reported as gaps.

What Your Automation Engineer Gets

  • Build It Yourself, or Have Virgil Propose It
  • Gaps, Feasibility and a Bill of Materials
  • Manual and Substitute Steps Are Judged, Not Assumed
  • Strategies Built Against Your Goals
  • Configurations Are Versioned and Approved
  • Change Reported at the Level That Changed

Optimization Analyzer

The capital decisions in a laboratory are made on estimates, and they are rarely validated. Does this sound like your lab?

Based on a rich set of first-class estimation criteria and demand goals, Virgil lets you run and compare multiple execution strategies under Monte Carlo simulation. This allows you to arrive at a statistically significant recommendation, and to identify alternatives when no clear winner can be determined. An execution configuration can be promoted to production only after it is reviewed and approved.

Comparing execution strategies against a demand goal, with the trade-offs between cost, time and capacity laid out.

What Your Operations Lead Gets

  • Estimation Criteria You Can Trace
  • What the Model Counts, and What It Skips
  • A Recommendation, or an Honest Absence of One

Bring Us a Decision You Are About to Make

An instrument you are considering, a protocol you are about to transfer, a second site you are planning. We will model it against your equipment and show you the numbers — and where they are missing.
