The use of robotic automation in life sciences manufacturing
Robotics play an integral role along production lines in medical device, biologics and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Common applications in this industry include sorting, product assembly, quality inspection, packaging, environmental and product sampling, seed laboratory automation, kitting logistics, UV-C disinfection, and cleaning processes. Stringent regulations mean medical device manufacturers must reproduce identical products, under rigorous cleanroom conditions, within reduced time frames. Clean room space is costly; the use of robotics reduces the overall footprint. Robotic technologies also provide the basis for more applications, versus legacy technologies through the use of cobots, machine vision, mobile robotics, and haptic control which all support this growing sector.
Keeping pace with innovation, manufacturing agility and adaptability, aligned with changing product iterations, is essential. Automation, which is made possible by the standardization and modularization of lab equipment in the life sciences, is improving productivity and the breadth of the field's real-world applications, which include everything from drug discovery to single-use, small-batch drug applications. Our solutions have improved medical testing and expedited the production of critical healthcare products.
Automation enables more efficient and accurate exploration, which is already having a tangible impact on the rate at which therapies and lifesaving vaccines are developed and delivered to patients and is only expected to increase in the coming years.
