Life sciences and healthcare

Automating tasks, reducing costs

Life sciences and healthcare have never been more in the spotlight than it is right now. From pharmaceutical and medical device production, to laboratories and clean rooms, the latest ABB robotic solutions can support the human workforce and transform quality, capacity and cost of operations while improving efficiency and patient outcomes. Our robots are designed to perform a variety of tasks, from sample handling and tending of equipment, to assembly and packaging of medicines, medical devices or cosmetic products. Thanks to ABB Robotics, you can automate repetitive tasks, improve accuracy and speed. Designed with the highest standard of quality and compliance such as ISO standards for clean environments, ABB Cleanroom robots reduce risk of contamination and improve the overall efficiency of your operations. We also take into consideration Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) recommendations to help manufacturers produce safe and high-quality products.
