Atwater, CA
Job Description
Provide an automated solution to their vial handling and cleaning operation.
Project Summary
This project involved the design and development of robotic tool to assist in the milk testing process. The function of this automated solution was to receive, preheat, test, wash, treat, and re-rack vials. After initial R&D and successful implementation we now have established a one of kind system for mass vial handling and cleaning operations.
KEY PROJECT TASKS
– Provided greater consistency in analyzer component values resulting from stabilized temperature control and repeatable sample testing cycle time.
– Higher accuracy of reported findings resulting from a more consistent process with fewer opportunities for operator error.
– Avoidance of bacterial contamination caused by inconsistent vial handling
– Higher productivity with fewer people, estimated 75% reduction in labor cost.
– More operator time to analyze the data and interact with the analyzers.
– Reduced risk for workers compensation claims by avoiding repetitive motion injuries, lowering annual policy costs.
