niceLAB (SiLA Scheduler PMS)

niceLAB is a SiLA compliant scheduling software (with regard to SiLA Standards:  Process Management System PMS) developed by EQUIcon Software GmbH Jena. niceLAB enables customers to integrate laboratory devices with SiLA-Interface into automated systems without assistance of external integrators. The software-integration of devices into niceLAB is very simple and takes place within a few minutes.

Main features of niceLAB:

• Easy creation of workflows by Drag and Drop
• Parallel threads with synchronisation points
• Dynamic event controlled scheduler
• Deadlock prevention
• Advanced error recovery
• Device pooling (grouping)
• Online visualization of execution details and instrument data
• Simulation of workflow

niceLAB can also be used by device developers to test the own implementation of the SiLA interface. This may reduce the needed time dramatically.
