ABB Robotics Partners with XtalPi to Build Intelligent Automated Laboratories
ABB機器人與晶泰合作建立智能自動化實驗室
ABB Robotics and XtalPi have entered a strategic partnership to produce a range of automated laboratory workstations in China. The new, automated laboratories will boost the productivity of R&D processes in biopharmaceuticals, chemical engineering and chemistry, and new energy materials.
ABB機器人與晶泰建立戰略合作伙伴關系，在中國生產一系列自動化實驗室工作站。新的自動化實驗室將提高生物制藥、化學化工以及新能源材料領域研發流程的生產力。
“Our collaboration with XtalPi marks another milestone for ABB’s collaborative robots in the life sciences sector,” said Jose-Manuel Collados, manager of Service Robotics Product Line at ABB Robotics. “ABB Robotics and XtalPi will radically advance lab research and development through automation that works side-by-side with people. By enabling pharma and biotech companies to develop new drugs faster and with less cost, ABB is helping to further research into disease prevention, creating healthier societies. Our new Open Innovation Lab for Life Science and Healthcare in Zhangjiang, Shanghai complements our work at our Life Sciences and Healthcare Lab at the Texas Medical Center Campus in Houston.”
ABB機器人服務機器人產品線經理Jose-Manuel Collados表示：“我們與晶泰的合作是ABB協作機器人在生命科學領域的又一個里程碑。ABB機器人和晶泰將通過與人類并肩工作的自動化從根本上推進實驗室研究和開發。通過幫助制藥和生物技術公司更快、更低成本地開發新藥，ABB正在幫助進一步研究疾病預防，創造更健康的社會。我們在上海張江新建的生命科學和醫療保健開放創新實驗室補充了我們在休斯頓德克薩斯醫學中心園區生命科學和醫療保健實驗室的工作。”
XtalPi is dedicated to driving intelligent and digital transformation in the life science and new materials in the chemicals industry. In 2022, the AI tech company bought over 100 GoFa cobots to create automated laboratory workstations at its testing facility in Shanghai, China. This year, XtalPi officially launched the automation-centric brand XtalPi Intelligent Automation with the purpose of aiding researchers through automation equipment. Together with ABB Robotics, XtalPi Intelligent Automation is using GoFa cobots to automate the synthesis and crystallization processes involved in developing new drugs and materials for its target industries.
晶泰致力于推動生命科學和化工新材料領域的智能化、數字化轉型。2022年，這家人工智能科技公司購買了100多臺GoFa協作機器人，在其位于中國上海的測試設施中創建自動化實驗室工作站。今年，晶泰科技正式推出以自動化為核心的品牌晶泰智能自動化，旨在通過自動化設備幫助研究人員。晶泰智能自動化與ABB機器人合作，使用GoFa協作機器人實現為其目標行業開發新藥物和材料所涉及的合成和結晶過程的自動化。
The automated laboratory workstations can be customized to meet specific requirements, using different modules to complete various experiment steps. ABB’s GoFa cobots take on repetitive, manual tasks, while also working non-stop, accelerating the pace of experimentation. The large volumes of high-quality data generated will help to boost the efficiency of the Design-Make-Test-Analyze research cycle and provide a solid foundation for driving AI for science.
自動化實驗室工作站可以定制以滿足特定要求，使用不同的模塊來完成各種實驗步驟。 ABB的GoFa協作機器人承擔重復性手動任務，同時不間斷工作，加快了實驗速度。生成的大量高質量數據將有助于提高設計-制造-測試-分析研究周期的效率，并為推動人工智能科學發展提供堅實的基礎。
The GoFa cobots are used by XtalPi Intelligent Automation to develop preparation workstations, diluting and filtration workstations, reaction workstations, UPLC testing workstations, glovebox workstations, sample warehouses and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) to make lab research and development faster and more efficient.
晶泰智能自動化采用GoFa協作機器人開發制備工作站、稀釋過濾工作站、反應工作站、UPLC測試工作站、手套箱工作站、樣品倉庫和自動導引車（AGV），使實驗室研發更快、更高效。
Each automated workstation can perform hundreds of different experiments, with ABB’s GoFa cobots operating in a range of challenging environments, including glove boxes – with no moisture or oxygen– while performing intricate tasks such as opening lids and the placement of lab equipment, liquid handling, sample addition, filtration, dilution, magnetic stirring, rapid sampling and UPLC testing, with minimal supervision required. AMR’s equipped with GoFa cobots transfer samples automatically between workstations, increasing efficiency while further reducing costs.
每個自動化工作站可以執行數百種不同的實驗，ABB的GoFa協作機器人可以在一系列具有挑戰性的環境中運行，包括手套箱（沒有水分或氧氣），同時執行復雜的任務，例如打開蓋子和放置實驗室設備、液體處理、樣品添加、過濾、稀釋、磁力攪拌、快速采樣和UPLC測試，只需最少的監督。AMR配備了GoFa協作機器人，可在工作站之間自動傳輸樣品，提高效率，同時進一步降低成本。
Equipped with a GoFa cobot and four rotating columns, automated sample warehouses provide compact and efficient storage and retrieval for laboratory reagents, making the process more efficient and entirely traceable.
自動化樣品倉庫配備了GoFa協作機器人和四個旋轉柱，為實驗室試劑提供緊湊高效的存儲和檢索，使流程更加高效且完全可追溯。
Chenxi Zhang, Director of Automation Product Management at XtalPi, said “Through partnering with ABB, we can increase efficiency in laboratories by implementing a human-robot integration model. We hope to combine XtalPi’s intelligent software system and industry experience with ABB’s expertise in robotics to bring more innovative solutions to the pharmaceutical industry, which will in turn expand the usage of automation and robots in the R&D process and help automate laboratories.”
晶泰科技自動化產品管理總監張晨曦表示：“通過與ABB合作，我們可以采用人機協作的模式來提高實驗室的效率。我們希望將晶泰的智能軟件系統和行業經驗與ABB在機器人領域的專業優勢相結合，為制藥行業帶來更多創新解決方案，擴大自動化和機器人在研發過程中的使用，幫助實驗室邁向自動化之旅。
This is ABB Robotics’ latest project in the lab automation market, which is seeing significant growth with a revenue of USD 5.1 billion in 2022 expected to rise to USD 7.1 billion in 2028.
這是ABB機器人在實驗室自動化市場的最新項目，該市場正在大幅增長，2022年收入將達到51億美元，預計到2028年將增至71億美元。
