Unlike the software that came 'free'
with your spectrophotometer,
FilmStar MEASURE
supports Robot Server and other ActiveX-compatible devices. MEASURE has a built-in VBA-like programming language which
lets you easily, economically, and quickly set up
automatic 'pick-place-scan-report' testing procedures.
In the past you had to rely on expensive
in-house solutions involving stepper motors, programmable logic
controllers, complex fabrication and testing. With robots now used in
thousands of facilities, it is time to ask whether well-documented
and well-supported PC-controlled off-the-shelf laboratory automation can help you lower QA costs, especially when
100% inspection is required.
Not sure you need automation? Visit your QA department and
observe technicians spending hours placing
filters in the sample compartment, waiting for the scan to complete,
removing the optic, printing a graph, copying data into Excel, etc. Then
compare to the number of hours required to merely load and unload a
parts rack.

magazine. Interestingly, 'robotics' generates about 1.8M hits in Google.
Not sure why MEASURE's
automation support is better than your current software's? Have no idea
why ActiveX is so important? We'll be happy to explain. The main thing you need to
know is that MEASURE makes automation possible! |
