Universal Robots appoints Technicon as a global Certified Solution Partner for the pharmaceutical sector

Technicon’s Glove & Gown Sampling Robot (GGSR) is a wall-mounted, compact, stable, and vision-based cobot solution. GGSR integrates a UR3e, holders for placing agar plates, and an RFID scanner. By reducing the repetitive and time-consuming processes related to the manual teaming up process of collecting samples, GGSR is ideal for pharmaceutical companies with GMP Annex 1 requirements for systematic contamination sampling of gloves, gowns, and goggles.
