High throughput genotyping

Back to overview

The advances and cost reductions of genotyping are more then ever making plant breeding a numbers game. The advantages of the ability to run your markers on a larger population at an early developmental stage are clear. Operational and human factors are often the limiting factor to further unlock this potential.

Automating the workflows around early developmental stage sampling and the subsequent selection can massively increase the throughput potential and quality of this process.  Resulting in better working conditions, lower costs and higher throughput and quality.

Track record

PhenoKey is specialized in transformations from manual towards fully automated procedures. For this application that typically entails the automation of sowing, sampling, and the transplanting of the selected candidates based on their individual lab results.

 

Automating these processes is truly high impact, many different process steps have to work together in close unison and it requires a 100% perfect data integrity. Our integrated approach will greatly reduce your risks and timelines while increasing the output. PhenoKey can support you in the entire process from initial vision towards and including the successful implementation within your workflows.

PhenoKey services

Our strategic consultancy efforts are focussed on vision development and roadmapping with respect to digital transformation and process automation.

 

We can assist to translate high level objectives in pragmatic and realistic roadmaps to achieve the objectives in the most efficient manner.

Frequently clients would like to automate a process for which no pre-existing solutions are available. Making overall technical or budgetary feasibility unclear.

In these scenarios a useful first step is a feasibility study. These are meant to identify potential solutions based on the process requirements. These solutions can then be evaluated to confirm overall feasibility.

PhenoKey has much experience with different applications and a broad knowledge of available technologies. We can partner up to identify the best fitting solutions, and coordinate the needed validation tests.

PhenoKey can also support you in business cases and budgeting.

Our independent design consultancy services are focused on the functional and technical designs for planned investments. Typically these services are executed in tight collaboration with the various internal stakeholders. This not only improves the output quality, it also strengthens the essential internal support base. 

 

Our experience helps to design the optimal solutions and reducing the risks of the final integration. 

 

PhenoKey's  turn-key project execution services provide valuable feedback in the continuous improvement process for perfecting our design consultancy skills.  

Managing the integration of multi vendor systems is challenging, especially when this is not part of your organizations core business.

 

PhenoKey unburdens its clients organization by taking on turn-key responsibility as main contractor for complete system integration. This approach significantly reduces the risks and impact on the clients organizations whilst PhenoKey's experience further helps to improve the overall system quality.

 

Subsystem contractors appreciate the PhenoKey turnkey approach because of the hands-on experience in implementing similar systems.

System integration is critical when implementing complex systems that consist of multiple subsystems. Process and data integrity can only be achieved by seamless integration.

 

PhenoKey integration services focus on seamless integration of subsystems from various manufacturers. PhenoKey experts take a coordinating role to ensure that both the physical and digital integration are robust and succesfull. 

A major change when automating a process is the increased dependability on technology. Managing maintenance and quick resolvement of issues is critical to minimize the process disruptions and optimize the running costs.

 

PhenoKey can also coordinate all maintenance and support activities for the implemented systems. This reduces the load on the clients organization, and optimizes the process of root cause analysis and error mitigation.
