Tecniplast has taken a major step forward in laboratory automation with the recent launch of its brand-new piece of equipment, the VOYAGER AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle), a cutting-edge system designed to transform operational efficiency and working conditions in vivarium cage wash areas. This innovation represents a leap in both automation technology and workflow optimization, offering unparalleled reliability, precision, and adaptability.
A New Standard in Efficiency
VOYAGER is engineered to autonomously manage logistics trolleys, seamlessly integrating with historical Tecniplast’s full range of robotic cells and related washing equipment, such as tunnel and rack washers. Its ability to directly interface with automatic doors and synchronize operations across various devices ensures a fully autonomous, optimized and continuous workflow. By doing so, it significantly reduces manual intervention, creating a streamlined process that enhances overall throughput.
Multiple AGV units can be exploited to handle increased workloads without proportionally increasing staffing requirements. This scalability makes it an ideal solution for facilities with high-demand cage washing systems or centralized operations.
Enhancing Workplace Safety and Development
In addition to improving operational efficiency, VOYAGER prioritizes workplace
safety. By automating repetitive and hazardous tasks, it minimizes human exposure to risky environments and reduces physical strain associated with heavy handling. This technological advancement creates opportunities for staff to focus on more specialized roles, fostering professional development and enhancing job satisfaction.
Key Features and Benefits
VOYAGER is packed with innovative features:
Environmental and Cost Savings
Notably, VOYAGER contributes to significant cost and environmental savings. Its integration with Tecniplast's advanced automation systems helps facilities achieve up to 60% ACH (air changes per hour) reductions in certain workflow areas. This efficiency translates to reduced energy and resource consumption, aligning with modern sustainability goals.
Pioneering the Future of Vivarium Automation
With the VOYAGER, Tecniplast redefines the potential of automated systems in vivarium operations. Whether improving safety, boosting operational throughput, or enabling smarter use of space, VOYAGER delivers unparalleled benefits to laboratories worldwide. It represents not just a product launch but a commitment to innovation and excellence in laboratory automation.
