On October 9, 2019, ABB opened the doors to its first dedicated global healthcare research hub, at TMC Innovation.

ABB’s research team will be working with medical staff, scientists, and engineers to develop non-surgical medical robotics systems, including logistics and next-generation automated laboratory technologies. The team will develop robotics solutions that will help eliminate bottlenecks in laboratory work and address the global shortage of skilled medical staff.

At TMC Innovation, ABB will develop robots that are able to carry out repetitive, delicate, and mundane processes, leaving highly skilled medical and laboratory staff free to undertake more valuable roles and ultimately treat more patients. ABB analysis shows that repetitive tasks could be completed up to 50 percent faster with automation, compared to current manual processes, with the added benefit that robots can work 24 hours a day.
