Supply, Delivery and Installation of Collaborative Robots for CMAC
Authority: University of Strathclyde (Education)
What is being bought3 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionThe Centre for Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation (CMAC) are developing state-of-the-art intergraded DataFactories in support of our Lab of the Future vision and new CMAC Data Lab initiative. Our goal is to establish multiple automated model driven instruments to establish a ML (Machine Leaning) ready database of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) data. A range of different collaborative robots are required to be integrated with third party scheduling and workflow software to move, prepare and analyse samples. These collaborative robots must be able to handle a wide variety of different samples and perform a range of different activities in a working lab alongside human researchers. They need to be flexible for future research demands that are not yet determined.
This requirement is funded by a UKRPIF grant, which is funding a list of equipment to be delivered as part of the CMAC Data Lab project. Budget and timescales are tight for the delivery of this project and CMAC are looking to maximise the funding where possible.
