The robotics firm Wyzo (Ecublens, Switzerland) has announced that it has won two design awards.

The first is the Design Award in the Industry & Tools Category from iF while the second is the Best of the Best Award from Red Dot for Industrial Equipment, Product Design and Robotics.

“These awards show how important it is to take care of the look of the machine, as well as how customers interact with it and their overall experience,” said Christian Vouillamoz, chief technology officer at Wyzo. “It reinforces the belief that we are changing the face of industrial automation and carving a path to follow for collaborative, pick-and-place robotics.”

According to Wyzo CEO Frank Souyris, the robot is suitable for various pharmaceutical manufacturing applications. Pharma applications include top-loading applications, machine loading, kit packaging, bottle handling, and similar applications.

The robot can operate safely side-by-side with humans without protective barriers or performance compromises.

The robot supports integrated pneumatic, electric and vacuum controls.
