Yaskawa Motoman`s track-based process automation solutions are scalable and can easily evolve to add/change processes, throughput and configuration as business needs change. The integrated system, connected by a specimen transport conveyor, manages the workflow of over 6,000 specimens per hour.

Systems are highly configurable to accommodate a variety of workflows, including:

Check-In / Check-Out

1,200 tubes per hour

The AutoSorter™ 1200 receives input from racks or conveyors. Reads barcode and sorts to target racks. Logs and consolidates post-analytic specimens for archive.

Container Scanning System

900 tubes per hour

Captures image to identify specimen or analyze label contents. Cap color, tube type, data matrix codes and text may be analyzed to determine the specimen processing sequence.

Aliquoter

360 daughter tubes per hour

Produces labeled daughter tubes, each with volume as instructed by the LIS. Automatically detects clots and QNS. Accepts a wide range of parent tube configurations.

Decapper

600 tubes per hour

Removes rubber stopper and threaded caps from most common tube sizes. Container is isolated from other tubes during decap process to protect against cross contamination.

Bulk Loader

1,000 tubes per hour

Tubes are hopper loaded, singulated and oriented. Barcode is read before placing tube in puck and linking to RFID.

Recapper

1,000 tubes per hour

Closes post-analytic tubes and aliquot parent/daughter tubes with a plastic insert that may be removed manually or automatically. Many sizes and styles of tubes may be capped.

Centrifuge

300 daughter tubes per hour

Loads tubes from track into centrifuge racks; exchanges racks at completion of centrifuge cycle; unloads spun tubes from centrifuge rack onto track.

Yaskawa Motoman offers extensive process engineering and development capabilities to address unique specimen processing and other clinical lab workflow needs. Solutions include: thaw and mix, relabeling, kitting, instrument connectivity, IT solutions and custom rack development.
