Traffic jam: A SBS plate sent from the OmniFire to an Agilent BRAVO liquid handler for dilution operations produces up to 10 new plates that will be reimported simultaneously into the OmniFire. This exceeds the capacity of the Dispatcher, which is unable to handle such a volume of plates at once. To avoid such issues, a storage bay is implemented, accessible by the Scara Brooks PreciseFlex 3400, to store plates while the Dispatcher is in use. In terms of GLAS, it is necessary for the node associated with the Scara to be able to behave in accordance with the status of the Dispatcher, i.e. orienting the plates correctly either towards the Dispatcher or towards the storage. In order to perform this, the Python script for this node must be written in multithreading. A code snippet for a GLAS workflow including multithreading is available in supporting information S2.
