Why does Life Science ask for robotics and automation?
The production benefits brought in by robotics and automation technologies are key success factors in the life sciences research and development operations ad well as in the manufacturing processes.
- Smart solutions are needed, so as to enable human resources to spend time in value-added activities rather than mind-numbing ones. Digitalization of the production processes implies a shift from manual labor to automatic machines. The steps towards fully automated processes are already in the to-do list of all the leading market players.
- Business competition calls for innovation, especially in a globalised market.
- A better management of resources leads to cost cuts in the supply chain and the manufacturing operations which guarantees global sustainability and availability of fundamental goods.
- Processes and workflow design requires a thorough investigation towards the fullfilment of the technological, legal and organizational requirements so that a certain flexibility to reshape them can be constantly guaranteed.
Structured and resilient technology partners are needed to be compliant with market standards which may vary from countries to countries.
Reviewing is a base pillar of all design activities, in order to keep up with the changes at every level that have to be implemented relentlessly in a never-ending transformation.
An articulated robotization and automation ought to be made up of easy-to-set up, efficient, reconfigurable and flexible equipment which is viable in a variety of applications. Automation products have to tackle the industry specific challenges: quick response in meeting changes and short time to market.
