Case: Chemical Sample Handling
Small volumes, strict traceability, real safety requirements.
Case outline
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Process | Picking, transferring and capping sample vials |
| Problem | Repetitive work with chemical exposure risk |
| Approach | Robot in a ventilated enclosure with barcode tracking |
| Outcome | Traceable workflow with reduced exposure |
Implementation notes
- Containment and ventilation requirements drive the layout.
- Barcode reading at each step creates the audit trail.
- Tooling must tolerate repeated cleaning and chemical contact.
Chemical handling is regulated by the site and by law. Confirm requirements with the laboratory safety function.
