Cobots used for Covid-19 testing
The Texas-based portable detection manufacturer DetectaChem unveiled a unique smartphone-based COVID-19 testing solution in late May. The company's at-home, low cost COVID-19 test provides results via smart phone in just 15-30 minutes. Three UR10 cobots deployed in the Detecta Chem manufacturing facility are used to remove plastic sheets from around the test kits as they are presented on a rotary table, enabling DetectaChem to quickly ramp up full scale production of its COVID test, pending FDA approval.
