  • Publication number: 20190299204
    Abstract: Work on or in an isolator assembly is made difficult by the gloved intervention points also with regard to the movement space. Any facilitation can contribute to a lower physical effort and to a lower error quota. According to a further advantageous embodiment of the isolator assembly, this can therefore have operating devices for operating a rack and/or for operating the control device of the isolator assembly for users, in particular by keypad at a gloved intervention point and/or via voice recognition and/or by foot pedals. Details relating to these devices can be obtained from the application WO 2011/124 209 A, the relevant content of which is also made the content of the present application.

  • Patent number: 10380542
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device, in particular for an animal space facility or a plant laboratory facility (for example according to WO 2011/124 209 with a changing station) or a warehouse which is suitable for performing a method for the organization of at least one object, with a rack or a cage arrangement with an operating side, with containers or cages which contain at least one object, with a device for recording the containers in the rack and with a computer unit for storing and processing of data, wherein the recording device is equipped and configured to record the location of one or more containers in the rack. Furthermore, the invention comprises a method for the process tracking of operations and/or services relating to at least one object, in particular in an animal space facility or a plant laboratory facility with a rack with containers arranged therein, which contain the object (or objects) and with a database holding data relating to the containers or their contents.

  • Patent number: 9349031
    Abstract: A method for tracking processes and/or services, which concern at least one object, in which a reading device detects data or attributes of a data carrier associated with the object or container thereof, wherein the data describe the object, comprising the following steps: a) identifying the object by detecting the data of the data carrier by means of the reading device and b) detecting a process or a service and/or the data obtained therefrom concerning the object, is further developed in that, between steps a) and b), a selection of processes and/or services from a plurality is made depending on the detected data, and the selection is offered to an operating person to be carried out. The invention also relates to a computer program product for setting up a computer system with regard to programming, and a changing station for carrying out the method.

  • Publication number: 20010027465
    Abstract: There is explained inter alia a method of switching process data, wherein a program stored in the memory of a program computer is carried out by at least one processor in a process, which is distinguishable from other processes executed by this processor with the aid of a process date. The process date is transferred from a first interface for the data input and data output to a second interface (step 164). In doing so a process is switched. By means of the process date data related to the execution of the program are transferred between the program computer and the second interface (step 168).
