Why does order preparation take time?
A technician may need to open a platform, read the prescription, retrieve files, create a folder and then enter the same information again in CAD. Each step is short, but repeated throughout the day.
What can be prepared for 3Shape Dental System?
For Medit, DS Core and Shining 3D only, AutoLabFlow can prepare the available order information when the connection is configured. The laboratory verifies all information before design.
What remains a human check?
Prescription interpretation, scan quality, occlusion, priorities and design decisions stay with the laboratory team.
| Step | Manual or remote approach | Laboratory workstation approach |
|---|---|---|
| Reception | Platform and folder checked manually | Accessible files prepared in the destination folder |
| CAD order | Information entered from the received case | Available information prepared for review |
| Validation | Technician checks the case | Technician checks the case |
According to your laboratory
Small laboratory
Start with one workstation, one source and a simple destination folder. The goal is to make the first reception step predictable, not to change every production habit.
Growing laboratory
Agree on naming, destination folders and how incomplete cases are treated. Automation serves those rules; it does not replace them.
Several sites
Use a designated reception workstation. The team can access the folders through the laboratory network according to its own infrastructure and permissions.
