Efficient labeling solutions to streamline prep work
Applying labels automatically can look very different from lab to lab. Some applicators still require an operator to place the tube, while others are bulk-fed may not require any operator involvement for hours at a time. Some may be better suited for robotic handling and conveyor systems, while some can fit comfortably on a benchtop. Determining how you can achieve the most value with automation requires auditing your current needs and future goals with an automation specialist.
