ABB Robotics has entered into agreement with Roche to develop and bring to market new robotic solutions for clinical laboratories.
The healthcare sector, where roughly 70% of treatment decisions rely on diagnostic testing, is under increasing strain, with laboratories facing workforce shortages as fewer professionals enter demanding and intensive lab roles. Coupled with aging populations and a growing shift toward personalized medicine, the need to accelerate testing and improve efficiency has never been greater.
Drawing on our AI-enabled robotic software and hardware portfolio, including Autonomous Versatile Robotics (AVR), and Roche’s diagnostics expertise, the collaboration will create automation solutions at scale to accelerate critical lab processes — enabling more connected, efficient laboratory operations and supporting better patient outcomes worldwide.
