This video introduces Epson’s ongoing development efforts in North America toward automating pre-analytical processes in clinical laboratory testing.
Before blood and specimen samples are delivered for testing, a number of preparation tasks must be completed.
These pre-analytical workflows rely heavily on manual labor across the world, and even small mistakes can have serious consequences.
In addition, various request forms—ranging from standardized formats to handwritten documents—must be checked and matched, creating a significant burden for medical staff.
Epson is exploring how AI × Robotics can support the evolving needs of clinical laboratories by improving diagnostic speed, reducing costs, and enhancing quality.
Furthermore, Epson aims to provide even more human-friendly solutions with the AX6, a collaborative robot scheduled for release in 2026.
This video highlights a portion of our current initiatives.
What’s Introduced in This Video:
・Digitizing various document formats and handwritten test request forms using OCR
・Continuously improving recognition accuracy through AI learning
・Automatically matching request forms with barcodes to prevent processing errors
・Fast barcode identification powered by AI Vision
・Automated error detection by AI to help ensure quality
・Reducing manual confirmation tasks and providing greater peace of mind
・High-speed, efficient handling with the C4 robot
