Life Science
For the last two decades, the life-science industry has relied on automation and robotics to increase research efficiency. From robotic specimen storage to medical operating instruments to assistant robots of all shapes and sizes — Life Science is one of the most automated industries out there. In fact, a modern-day lab looks more like a machine room, with stations of robots fulfilling various, separate steps of a research workflow.
With Model C2 and Model R2, we take automation a step further — by connecting separated processes and filling the gaps left behind by disjointed workflow stations.
With autonomous material transport by C2 and mobile pick- and-place functions by R2, your facility enters the future of Life Science automation, where processes can run 24/7, supply and handling bottlenecks cease to exist, and repetitive, strenuous, monotonous tasks are things of the past.

Program C2 to transport meal and medication orders to the appropriate hospital hall without interfering with ongoing processes and saving travel time for distribution staff.
Take it further with Model R2:
At the start-point have R2 load the meals and meds onto C2. Upon dispatch to the hall, have R2 take care of final delivery steps by unloading the items from C2 and placing the on the appropriate end destination.
Assist staff with room turndown by delivering linens and removing waste.
Deliver bundles of clean sheets and linens to rooms with awaiting turnover staff, who then collect linens from C2’s top shelf and load bags of trash onto its bottom shelf, which will be taken to the waste area as C2’s final destination point.
Take it further with Model R2:
Use R2’s handling abilities to place delivered linens in appropriate room locations to reduce time spend awaiting staff unloading. Have R2 load bags of waste onto the bottom shelf of C2, alleviating staff of another repetitive task.
Retail
Dynamic retail/grocery environments have been equally impacted by labor shortages and high turn-over rates while simultaneously experiencing ongoing pressure to differentiate among competitors and win over shoppers. Quasi machines provide the solution that allows stores to efficiently manage inventory, offer exceptional customer service, follow cleanliness guidelines, and maintain restocking measures.
Both Model C2 and Model R2 can be customized according the specific requirements of your store operations, seamlessly integrating with your existing systems and workflows and ready for addition and configuration of barcode scanners and lasers.
Robot Workspaces can also be specified to the layout and departments of your facility, allowing precise navigation of aisles and shelves.
Standard Retail and Grocery Application
