Case Studies - Robots addressing the UN SDGs

Mar 21, 2023 Chengda Biotech manufactures vaccines for rabies, encephalitis and other diseases. The vaccine is cultivated in cell factories: small trays which not need only handling but also oscillation flips, i.e. continuous movement in order to make the vaccine material reproduce itself. In a new factory in Benxi, Stäubli TX200 Stericlean robots fulfil these tasks. It is the first application of this type of robot in China´s bio-technological production.

Sep 26, 2022 With YuMi, Sintech has automated the cleanroom process to assemble and test the "stem", a component of blood separation centrifuges manufactured by LivaNova. It was possible to improve safety for operators while increasing productivity.

Sep 14, 2022 With an innovative adaption an ABB robot is making designer furniture from what would otherwise be waste material.

Mar 23, 2022 Printing concrete rather than pouring it: the Belgian BESIX Group is working to revolutionize traditional construction methods. A KR QUANTEC from KUKA is assisting in this. It prints columns, sculptures and facade elements in 3D using concrete. Fast and environmentally friendly.

Mar 22, 2022 The quality of cheese ultimately depends on proper storage and aging. This is why the Leupolz Emmental cheese dairy in Germany’s Allgäu Alps opted for an innovative, fully automated storage and maintenance system in which round cheese loaves, each weighing approximately 80 kilos, are handled by a large Stäubli six-axis machine.
