From Concept to Launch-Ready Product
Kbiosystems supported a UK lab automation hardware company in turning high-level concepts into a manufacturable, launch-ready workcell platform for genomics, cell biology and high throughput screening workflows.
In new lab automation hardware development, the greatest risk often sits between design intent and manufactured reality. For a UK lab automation hardware company developing a next-generation workcell platform for genomics, cell biology and high throughput screening workflows, that gap had to be closed completely.
The brief began with high-level visuals and concept specifications. Turning those ideas into a manufacturable, launch-ready product required an engineering partner capable of working from design intent, rather than waiting for a fully finished specification.
Because design, engineering and manufacturing sit under one roof at Kbiosystems in Basildon, the development process moved forward without unnecessary handoffs. Tolerances, buildability and production decisions were tested early, ensuring the original design intent remained intact throughout the process.
“Kbiosystems engineering and manufacturing capabilities ensured we launched on time and with our design intent realised.”
