Automation line safety

LineSafe

A practical add-on safety layer for high-volume automation lines: detect the wrong tube state, stop or flag the specimen, and alert the lab in real time.

Hardware + software module Highest upside
The problem

Why this matters

Automation lines move fast. A single wrong tube state, cap condition, routing issue, or missed manual checkpoint can create rework, delays, or downstream workflow interruptions.

The solution

What it does

LineSafe combines a small camera, configurable region-of-interest color detection, visual/audible alerting, and optional gate control. When paired with Hailing Frequencies, the event can be pushed directly to the lab status board.

Core capabilities

Built for practical deployment.

Turn a simple camera checkpoint into a practical automation-line safety layer.

Camera view with adjustable detection area.

Configurable color and tube-state rules.

Gate, beacon, buzzer, and reset-control support.

Open/closed limit switch awareness for physical gate feedback.

Event logging for review and process improvement.

Optional integration with Hailing Frequencies for real-time board alerts.

Workflow

How it works

1
A specimen enters the monitored area.
2
LineSafe evaluates the configured visual rule.
3
If the specimen violates the rule, the device alerts and can trigger a gate action.
4
The event is logged and optionally displayed on the lab operations board.
Ideal for
  • Large automation lines
  • Specimen processing departments
  • Labs with recurring tube-state or routing risks
  • Sites that need inexpensive add-on visibility without rebuilding the line
Outputs
  • Local visual and audible alert
  • Optional gate control
  • Specimen exception log
  • Board notification integration
