Robot revolutionizes cleanroom technology

Mathias Itter, Board Member and CTO of InfraSolution AG

In medical technology, microelectronics, optics and photonics, or in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and medicines – in many industries, the requirements for cleanroom production are becoming increasingly complex. Companies must comply with standards and guidelines while simultaneously increasing their efficiency in the face of steadily rising costs. This can only be achieved through the use of intelligent automation solutions.

The Robotscanflex from InfraSolution AG is a novel, automated measurement system that offers unprecedented quality in conducting filter integrity tests. A robotic arm automatically scans vertical and horizontal final filters and laminar flow units, in accordance with applicable standards and regulations. The intelligent software creates the necessary documentation and evaluations and visualizes the measurement results in the form of an electronic test report. "Robotscanflex enables more precise measurements in less time with less personnel," summarizes Mathias Itter, Vorstand and CTO of InfraSolution AG, the benefits.

The robot is mobile and easy to operate. The measurement results are securely archived against manipulation. One thing is certain today: the simple operation of Robotscanflex and the electronic documentation will set a new standard for filter integrity testing.

The prototype of Robotscanflex will be presented to the public for the first time at Cleanzone 2015 in Frankfurt. Full series production is expected to be achieved by mid-2016.
