Reconfigurable Automation Carts

Flexible. Scalable. Modular. — Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs) are the ultimate automation solution for dynamic and high-mix workflow environments. RACs enable high walkway time, high uptime, and high throughput experimentation.

RAC Hardware

Each RAC includes:

Lab instrument(s) of choice
Standardized, modular utilities
Dedicated robotic arm
Quick connection points
Sample transport track
HEPA filter (optional)

Building a RAC System

Combine RACs to Evolve Your Lab

Each RAC adds capability and throughput. Adaptable to any lab layout — linear, elliptical, L-shaped, or wrapped around columns — with built-in tracks that can even run through walls to connect units in tight spaces.

No Design Headaches

Your design matches your unit operations. Our interchangeable components and standardized connections make future expansion effortless — add units anytime to enable new workflows or increase throughput.

Maximum Flexibility

Teams can run independent protocols simultaneously. Systems go from delivery to operational in one day and are reconfigured by simply specifying the required instruments. RAC hardware, paired with our Catalyst ACS and Flow, minimizes your need for dedicated automation staff.

Why Decentralized Transport Matters

Centralized Transport

With traditional systems, single robotic arms create throughput and expansion bottlenecks. Adding instruments increases complexity and requires constant teachpoint updates. System expansion often means building redundant workcells. With centralized transport, the user cannot leverage different robotic arm gripper designs for difficult-to-handle nests.

Linear Transport

Rail-mounted robots also create throughput bottlenecks, serving only one source-destination pair at a time. Expansion requires extending rails, adding more robotic arms, and managing increasingly complex arm logic and teachpoints.

Decentralized Transport

All RAC systems utilize a decentralized architecture, serving multiple source-destination nest pairs simultaneously and maximizing throughput and equipment utilization, all while enabling future expansions.
