More efficiency in laboratories: Automated sample handling with the ASR300

This product belongs to navify® Sample Tracking ecosystem.

The challenge: more samples, less staff. A steadily increasing volume of samples and less qualified employees: 87% of laboratories in Germany do not have enough staff to handle the daily testing work of laboratory samples. Demographic change is further intensifying this problem, as more and more testing capacity is needed due to the ageing population. Even today, laboratories have to process around 4,500 samples per shift by an average of eight employees.

The solution: smart automation. In order to face these challenges and to provide a flexible and cost-efficient long-term solution for laboratories, robominds has developed the ASR300 as the smart solution for Automated Sample Reception. The ASR300 is capable of automatically detecting, identifying, sorting and subsequently placing incoming sample tubes into standardized racks. Compared to existing automation solutions for laboratories, a key feature of the ASR300 is its flexibility: thanks to the robobrain® technology and the use of flexible AI skills, it is possible to sort a wide variety of samples simultaneously, regardless of their content, diameter and cap color. This ensures maximum flexibility in everyday laboratory work. Further handling of the cell is so easy that laboratory staff can integrate it quickly and efficiently into their everyday workflows.

With its artificial intelligence-based robotics solution for smart sample handling, the ASR300 by robominds builds a further building block as part of navify Sample Tracking ecosystem and is able to communicate with other partners of the platform, e.g. Smart4Diagnostics.
