Applied Scientific Technologies software team have been working on enhancing modular software designs to allow ‘on the fly’ platform reconfiguration with the latest Techman Robot Arm. The new Techman Arm complies with safety regulations and ensures flexible and powerful scheduling engine.
The Techman Arm is currently installed with Hyve, a Collaborative Autonomous Robot, designed to discover advancements in formulation chemistry and biotechnology, specific for integration and automation in laboratory environments. Hyve is unique in the turnkey, laboratory automation marketplace.
These applications are best suited in laboratory and cosmetics environments. Some examples of where they can be used include, in-vitro SPF-factor testing, hair-care testing and sample preparation for HPLC.
Cobots are a hot topic in the industrial environment and more and more industries are adapting to this IR4 change. Collaborative robots are providing manufacturers with a paradigm shift in safe, versatile, easy-to-use automation that supports human endeavour. In order to stay competitive, companies must begin to integrate innovative robot systems to provide flexible production lines to fit the ever-changing customer needs and product requirements. What better way to do this than using a Cobot alongside humans.
The Techman Robot Arm uses Sqlite database for enhanced data integrity and to standardise data storage and retrieval, for example, reporting of production data. SiLA device drivers have also been installed for process control to provide full compatibility with Applied Scientifics Laboratory Equipment, Deft.
