The Box

The Technology behind The Box

State-of-the-art technology combined with high-quality analyzer systems from Siemens Healthineers makes The Box a perfect and safe solution for lab automation.

• 01

  Autonomous task processing

  The Box can operate for long durations without supervision by a lab technician. It relieves the lab staff of repetitive tasks and increases efficiency during workload fluctuations.

• 02

  Fully automated analyzing processes

  Save time with high-quality analyzing systems for hemostasis testing, hematology analysis, and clinical chemistry by our partner Siemens Healthineers.

• 03

  Intelligent sample handling

  The Box detects barcodes, sample size, and cap colors, as well as sorts and analyzes samples according to their urgency.

• 04

  Sample storage

  Processed samples are stored securely within the reach of the robot arm and can be re-tested if required.

• 05

  Flexibility

  A flexible robot platform allows fast changes between manual and autonomous operation modes.

• 06

  Human safety

  Sensor technology recognizes human presence during the autonomous mode, ensuring the safe stopping of the system.

• 07

  De-Capping

  Our innovative de-capping station features a 3-finger gripper that rotates and removes sample tube caps while the cobot’s end effector securely holds the cap. The process is quick and efficient, allowing for seamless workflow in the lab.

• 08

  Scan and evaluate barcode

  By utilizing the mounted barcode scanner on the work table of the mobile platform, The Box has the capability to capture and record the labels of sample tubes for documentation purposes.

• 09

  Centrifuge interfaces

  With the integration of a centrifuge controller, The Box can effortlessly connect with existing centrifuges, enabling automated filling and emptying. The Box is capable of handling individual sample tubes as well as entire racks, and has already integrated systems from Hettich. If requested, compatibility testing can be performed for other centrifuge brands.
