Claim 5:
6. A computerized method comprising:
measuring an internal temperature of a vault unit of an intelligent laboratory lockbox system with at least a temperature sensor;
based on at least the internal temperature, transmitting an instruction that controls the intelligent laboratory lockbox system to activate cooling functions to self-regulate the internal temperature to a first temperature;
identifying, by a sensor that senses a presence of a specimen within the vault unit, a load status of the vault unit of the intelligent laboratory lockbox system, wherein the load status includes one of a loaded status or an unloaded status;
receiving an indication of a change in the load status from the vault unit;
determining whether the change in the load status changes a specimen pickup workflow;
upon identifying that the change in the load status changes the specimen pickup workflow, generating an optimized pickup workflow based on the change in the load status of the vault unit;
wherein in response to the load status changing from the unloaded state to the loaded state, the optimized pickup workflow is generated to include a courier route to a location of the vault unit to pickup the specimen;
wherein in response to the load status changing from the loaded state to the unloaded state, the optimized pickup workflow is generated to remove the courier route to the location of the vault unit;
generating a notification of the optimized pickup workflow at one or more remote computing devices separate from the vault unit; and
transmitting the notification of the optimized pickup workflow to a destination device.
