SMART CART

THE ALL-NEW FLEXIBLE, MODULAR APPROACH TO LABORATORY AUTOMATION

The traditional structure of static automated platforms has changed little over time. They consist of either a liquid hander centric platform or a robot based automated systems. Either way valuable assets are tied into platforms in awkward positions idling when they could be used more efficiently. Smart Cart is a fully mobile life support system for lab equipment or lab robots. It reimagines what modular automation is eliminating the need for locating high value equipment into static automated workcells. It provides the foundation to a more productive, efficient & dynamic use of instrumentation.

 

Benefits

  • Flexible – Deployment of Smart Carts in your laboratory enables you to assemble an island of automation and run multiple different assays on hourly or daily. Connect a robot cart to an instrument cart and you are good to go. Offline connect stations are available so instruments can be used manually when not required as part of an assay. Share equipment between platforms, share equipment between labs or share equipment between groups.
  • Automatable – Use standalone or in combination with the Peak Robotics Lab Droid Automated Mobile Robot (AMR) to create a fully scheduled island of automation. Smart Cart enables easier sharing of resources, improved automated workflows, increased productivity and a more efficient use of laboratory equipment. Mecanum wheels allow the Smart Cart to be moved in any direction allowing accurate placement against the workcell.
  • Smart – With features such as its advanced onboard battery management technology, self levelling feet, onboard gas and liquid supply, active vibration suppression and waste containment, Smart Cart supports all the requirements of the instrumentation.
  • Customisable – The standard Smart Cart can accommodate and support a variety of equipment from the smallest of bulk liquid dispensers to large capacity incubators; from single pieces of equipment to fully mobile reader/feeder systems. Repurpose an unloved automated platform and then connect.
  • Modular – Add a single smart cart to an existing platform for instant impact. See the benefits of flexibility, instrument pooling & productivity gains. Create your island of
    automation, then cluster these islands in your lab to truly empower your discovery; 24/7/365 with on-demand access to instrumentation and data integrity.
