01Demands
What life sciences asks of a line
Repeatability before raw speed
A cell that does the same thing every time is worth more than one that runs fast and drifts.
A documented, repeatable process
Each step has to be written down, followed the same way and shown to have been followed.
Careful handling of small parts
Small, light and fragile parts need gentle grips, exact placement and clean handling.
Changeovers between product variants
One line often runs several variants, so switching between them has to be quick and repeatable.
02Applications
Where automation fits
03ARS
What ARS brings
Simulation before build
Robot motion is modeled in fully dynamic 3D simulation, for multiple robot models, before hardware is committed.
Vision
ARS is fluent in robotic vision systems, which it uses to simplify automation processes.
PLC controls
ARS configures and develops stand-alone and networked PLC-based control systems, and writes the software that runs them.
Training for the people who run the cell
Robot and controls instructors offer certified courses from beginner to advanced levels, with mentoring and ongoing support.

04Questions
Common questions
Can robot motion be proven before the line is built?
Yes. ARS simulations are fully dynamic, use 3D graphics and are offered for multiple robot models, so robot motion can be checked before hardware is committed.
Does ARS integrate vision systems?
Yes. ARS is fluent in robotic vision systems and offers vision integration together with robot and PLC programming.
Which services apply here?
Controls Engineering, Controls Implementation, Robot Programming, Integration Support and Training Programs apply to life sciences lines.
