Lean Workflow Benefits
Automation is a cost-saving, long-term solution. SPOT Imaging’s PathTracker can allow operators to complete all of their daily check-out or check-in scans in the time it would normally take to hand-scan just one bulk container. Bulk-cassette scanning eliminates the need for technicians to hand-scan every sample, freeing up personnel to complete other critical functions.
