Methods and systems for use in processing seeds

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including executable instructions, which when executed by at least one processor of a scheduler computing device in connection with filling cassettes consistent with sets of seeds, cause the at least one processor to:

• in response to a request for a schedule, access data associated with a plurality of cassettes, the data including a seed set specific to each of the cassettes, at least a portion of the seed set including multiple different seeds;
• generate the schedule to fill the plurality of cassettes with seeds, consistent with the seed sets specific to the plurality of cassettes, via a gantry, multiple counting stations, and a filling station, based on a throughput of each of the gantry, the multiple counting stations, and the filling station;
• store the schedule in memory;
• and
• execute the schedule, at the gantry, the multiple counting stations, and the filling station to fill at least a portion of the plurality of cassettes consistent with the schedule.

A system for use in processing seeds, the system comprising:

• a gantry configured to retrieve specific seeds for processing from a seed supply;
• at least one counting station configured to receive the seeds from the gantry and deliver a desired number of the seeds into one or more containers;
• a filling station configured to transfer the seeds from the one or more containers to one or more cassettes;
• and
• a scheduler computing device configured to generate a schedule to fill the one or more cassettes with the seeds based, at least in part, on (i) a throughput of each of the gantry, the at least one counting station, and the filling station and on (ii) the seed supply.
