No fees. No contracts. Just collaboration. We demonstrate your instrument being run by our robot — and both of us come out ahead.
We don't charge a fee. We don't take a cut. This is about collaboration — demonstrating that your instrument and our robot work together in a real lab workflow.
The mechanism is the Product Combination. We demonstrate your machine being operated by our robot. You get automation-ready positioning. We get more services we can offer on our platform. One robot to rule the lab.
What Robot on Rails gets: Every instrument we integrate gives our robot more capabilities — more workflows, more use cases, more reasons for labs to deploy us. One robot that can run the entire bench.
What you get: Your instrument becomes automation-ready overnight. No R&D investment. No engineering effort on your side. Just a demo that shows your product in the future of lab work.
Robot on Rails is collaborating with Accuris Instruments (a division of Benchmark Scientific). RoR provides the robot. Accuris provides the instruments.
This is the first product combination we're releasing together, featuring the Accuris AutoMATE 96 — a 96-channel liquid handler designed for scientists. By coupling it with our robot, which can load, unload, and restock the machine, we've turned the AutoMATE 96 from a single process step into one that can run continuously, all day and night.
Our focus is straightforward: help labs automate the repetitive work they don't want to spend time on, without asking them to redesign everything from scratch.
Your instrument becomes part of the automated lab story. Differentiate from competitors who still require manual operation.
Every Robot on Rails deployment is a potential sale for your instrument. We recommend integrated collaborators to our customers.
We develop and validate complete workflows around your instrument, creating turnkey solutions for end users.
We don't charge fees. We don't take a cut. You provide instrument access, we handle all the robotics and integration engineering.
Collaboration typically follows three phases:
We evaluate the opportunity — what your instrument does, how scientists interact with it, and what the product combination could look like. This is a conversation, not a commitment.
Our engineering team develops the physical and digital integration. We handle the robotics side. You provide instrument access and technical documentation. Typical timeline: 4–8 weeks.
We launch the product combination together — validated workflows, video demos, and joint content. Your instrument is now automation-ready.
We're looking for manufacturers of benchtop lab instruments that scientists interact with manually today:
If your customers are asking about automation — or if you want them to be — let's talk.
