Compound
Library Managers are increasingly required to provide
more rapid responses to meet challenging Service
Level Agreements, whilst supporting ever growing
and more complex libraries. Although a choice of
automated storage solutions is available to help
meet these demands, any solution will usually be
constrained by the available floor space in the
facility. |
| |
TAP’s HomeBase
store architecture has been developed to offer an
extremely flexible use of floor space. |
| |
The following diagrams
show two configurations for HomeBase which have
been implemented to deal with very different requirements.
HomeBase can be built to meet individual needs across
a variety storage capacities, picking rates, temperatures
and multiple vessel types. |
 |
| |
|
| |
In this case the HomeBase
was built to fit into an existing laboratory space
with a standard ceiling height of 8 ft. |
 |
| |
The
same building blocks can provide a store capable
of housing an entire pharmaceutical compound library
master store, holding several alternative vessel
formats, with multiple redundant robotics and
a choice of loading buffer options. |

|
| |
The HomeBase architecture
is easily upgradable to allow for changes in stored
inventory and/or scale up to higher throughputs. |
