Planning a laboratory automation project? 
You should read this first.

The smart way way to proceed is to get the design right. Good design and planning is essential for a smooth running project that delivers your automation solution on time and within budget.

 

 

 

 

 


 A professional design study will enable you to confidently prepare a budget or place an order with the minimum risk. You will:

  • reduce the cost of the final system, as the supplier's requirement for contingency is greatly reduced
  • avoid building a system that fails to meet your requirements
  • achieve the most cost effective performance
  • and, when you come to ordering delivery times will be shortened, as the design work is already done

Invariably, every work cell has a unique set of user requirements.  As with buying any complex bespoke system risk factors are high.  The design phase is critical in achieving your required performance.

A paa design study addresses: user requirement specification, enclosure design, safety systems (interlocks/ screens/ light curtains), sample tracking, barcodes, selection of robotic arms, 3D modeling of robot reach envelope, grippers, stacks, racks, instrument selection, lab ware, scheduling software, development of instrument drivers (not found in existing libraries), interfacing to LIMS or database, throughput and will provide a detailed costing.
 
paa has ten years of experience designing and delivering small, medium and large automation work cells.
