Networked Robotics Announces New Capability

	Networked Robotics Corporation Supports Data Collection from Thermo Forma Water Jacketed Incubators EVANSTON, Illinois –August 20, 2008 –Networked Robotics’ engineers have developed a palm-sized network hardware device that “learns” to talk to a wide range of temperature-based scientific instruments by speaking the data communication language specific to each instrument. The data that are collected through computer networks are used by biotech, medical, and food companies to enhance FDA regulatory compliance, quality, and loss prevention for their operations. The latest capability allows Networked Robotics hardware in the field to communicate directly to the Forma brand of cell-growth incubators. These incubators are used to grow stem cells and other biologically important samples at temperatures close to human body temperature. Sometimes-tricky cell growth requires precise environmental conditions of temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide and oxygen concentration for success. “All of Networked Robotics’ current customer base has the option to directly connect Forma Incubators to our Tempurity System through the same Networked Robotics hardware units that are now in the field collecting data from their other types of refrigerators, incubators, and ultracold freezers” said John Vedo, Assistant Vice President of Quality for Networked Robotics. “Other monitoring systems provide their customers duplicate sensors for devices that are already measuring environmental conditions. Networked Robotics hardware communicates directly to incubators, a function that is enabled for new types of devices through net-upgradeable firmware. Our hardware is essentially a scientific machine-language converter. It talks to the equipment in its own language but standardizes the language that is spoken on the network. It can be learn to talk to new device types at any time.” Networked Robotics also manufactures a line of digital sensors that collects temperature, humidity and power status. Cryoplus and Thermo-Fisher are registered trademarks of Thermo Fisher Scientific Incorporated. About Networked Robotics Corporation: The founders of Networked Robotics worked for almost 20 years in the automation of scientific processes for the pharmaceutical industry, and since 1998 have concentrated on diverse network collection from scientific devices. They engineered the first system to collect real-time raw data from a wide-area network and have extensive experience in developing FDA-compliant procedures. As a network device manufacturer and software developer, Networked Robotics strives to establish a new benchmark in scientific data collection. Networked Robotics was incorporated in 2004 and is located in Evanston, Illinois.
