Argon Technology, Western Australia’s premier robotic and automation provider have recently launched a new business arm solely devoted to laboratory automation systems and engineering. Argon Lab Systems will be engineering, supplying and integrating robotic laboratory automation to the mining, soil and mineral sampling industry.
 www.argonlabsystems.com Robotic laboratory automation is transforming traditional laboratory procedures. The use of robotics streamlines sample processing, improving the overall performance and system flow of the laboratory, improving productivity and performing the boring mundane work so often associated with laboratory procedures, these factors feed the excitement generated by these systems.
Argon Technology has applied its expertise, skills and experience in industrial robotic applications in developing Argon Lab Systems. Argon Lab Systems has an established in-house team of dedicated scientists and engineers who have an established line of robotic & automation systems to meet the sampling needs of laboratories in today’s high paced, labour short market.
It is seen as another exciting step forward and a strategic expansion and enhancement of systems and services for the entirely Australian owned corporation. Since 2004 Argon Technology has been meeting the robotic needs of companies nationwide, and in that time has experienced considerable growth. Argon Technology hopes to further support Australian industry through the development of Argon Lab Systems, as the use of robotics and automation in this market will deliver large benefits and continue to grow.
Meanwhile the economic outlook for the mining and mineral industry is favourable. Mine production in Australia next year is expected to continue growing at 7%, with a 14% jump in capital expenditure. Mining made up $29.1 billion of GDP last year, with mineral and energy exports making up a whopping 65% of gross national exports which is expected to equal $101b in 2007.
“With demand at ever increasing levels and industry hitting capacity, the investment into capability enhancing and capability ensuring tools and systems is providing our clients the advantages they need to gain the edge and ensure their ongoing success.”- Paul Deuchar CEO of Argon Technology.
