Abstract
A method of analyzing inventory in a diagnostic laboratory system includes capturing an image of a plurality of inventory items used in a diagnostic laboratory system, wherein the capturing generates image data; analyzing the image data to identify one or more inventory items; and generating instructions to cause a printer to print one or more identification tags in response to the analyzing, wherein each of the one or more identification tags includes identification data that identifies one of the one or more inventory items. Other methods and systems are disclosed.
Claims20
A method of analyzing inventory in a diagnostic laboratory system, the method comprising:
- capturing an image of a plurality of inventory items used in a diagnostic laboratory system, wherein the capturing generates image data;
- analyzing the image data via a program executing on a computer to identify one or more of the inventory items;
- and
- generating instructions via the program to cause a printer to print one or more identification tags in response to the analyzing, wherein each of the one or more identification tags includes identification data that identifies one of the one or more inventory items.
An inventory analyzing system for analyzing inventory of a diagnostic laboratory system, comprising:
- an imaging device configured to capture an image of a plurality of inventory items used in a diagnostic laboratory system, wherein the captured image includes image data;
- and
- a computer configured to:
- analyze the image data to identify one or more of the inventory items;
- and
- generate instructions to cause a printer to print one or more identification tags in response to the analyzing, wherein each of the one or more identification tags includes identification data that identifies one of the one or more inventory items.
A method of analyzing inventory in a diagnostic laboratory system, the method comprising:
- capturing an image of a plurality of inventory items used in a diagnostic laboratory system, wherein the capturing generates image data;
- analyzing the image data via a program executing on a computer to identify identification indicia on one or more of the inventory items;
- generating instructions via the program to cause a printer to print one or more RFID tags in response to the analyzing, wherein each of the one or more RFID tags includes identification data that identifies one of the one or more inventory items;
- and
- printing the one or more RFID tags.
