In August this year, Lei feng's network in Shenzhen will hold an unprecedented and global reach of artificial intelligence and robotics Innovation Conference (details see: GAIR.leiphone.com). When Lei feng's network will publish "artificial intelligence and robot Top25 list of innovative enterprises". At present, we are visiting related companies in the area of artificial intelligence, robots, sift through them eventually elected to the list list of companies. If you want to join our list, please contact: 2020@leiphone.com.
As essential part of medical industry, compounding the importance and risks are often overlooked. Wei Bang CEO Liu Baochun to Lei feng's network of science and technology, national hospital for most of the liquid by the manual operation is complete, the process will inevitably be exposed to toxic chemicals. Long-term exposure to toxic chemicals, physical harm against health care personnel is very large, even can cause hair loss, abortion, organ failure and other severe symptoms. Dispensing process repeat a single, has a higher granularity requirements for operation, by means of liquid robots finish dispensing work more efficiently and securely in place of humans.

WEINAS Intelligent robot intravenous drug allocation was Wei Bang 2015 at the introduction of the robot project. This fully automated robotic device, through standardized tools and processes can be implemented in a matter of minutes vial and ampoule pharmaceutical mixing. In this process, WEINAS can complete the "hose exhaust drug testing, needle, vial agent blending, ampoule cutting, liquid extract, mixed dose testing, pharmacy Infusion bags, needles drop" a continuity of operations. As the first domestic liquid robot, WEINAS pioneered many industry first, which Liu Baochun is most proud of is both ampoule bottles, vials of liquid, "in this context, we are the worthy of the first. " Disney Note 4 Case
Hospital pharmacy bottles is divided into two kinds, ampoules and vials. Ampoule for the storage of liquid chemicals, vials to hold solid powder medicament. Therefore, the pharmacy is divided into "powder, liquid liquid-liquid mixing mixing powder mixed with saline solution and liquid dispensing" three ways, among them, the most complex is the third. "In the industry, we lead in the ampoule liquid." Robot ampoule liquid is difficult, because the ampoule must bottle cutting, to extract chemicals. Before this process can only rely on manpower to breaking, but human actions will have some uncertainty. Liu Baochun introduction, "WEINAS ampoule cutting error rate was five out of 10,000, far exceeding the accuracy of the manual". In addition, by means of image recognition technology, WEINAS can achieve the precision extraction reagent ampoule bottles, cases can only be done by experienced doctors to always, and no way to ensure reagent accuracy.
"Without reference to the circumstances of the case, completed the initial design of a complex set of mechanical scheme, repeatedly demonstrated and confirmed the feasibility of". 2009, world-wide are no dispensing robot technology research, this also means that health state team from the bottom of the module, the multifunctional structure, modules are machine appearance, every aspect of the original design. Therefore, the difficulty can be imagined. According to Liu Baochun introduction, teams from 2009 liquid dispensing robot research and development as a whole. Soon 2010 completes the design of the first generation of products, but the result is not satisfactory, with Liu Baochun's own words, "engineer thinking-led product features designed to make the entire product to user requirements understanding is not clear. Package not presentation, and the technology platform is also problematic. " Following the discovery of core issues, post Liu Baochun began wearing product manager, led a group of generation technical team from the angle of medical product development.
In this process, Liu Baochun most impressed by is the infusion needle design process. General transfusion needle can't solve all the liquid dispensing problems, want to achieve vials, ampoules, Infusion bags three containers of liquid with each other, it must be converted to standard non-liquid process flow of liquid. November 16, 2011, Liu Baochun diary habits remembers, when he came up with standard needle syringe system with hose in place of conventional. You know, this corresponds to the adjustment means that the needle clamp, abrasives are redesigned. Eventually, the team found that the design of new programmes, persisted for more than two years of design and testing, to complete this new distribution methods. August 2013, the nascent robot prototype developed, but this is just the beginning. Before the formal operation of medical equipment, require long-term clinical testing and targeting adjustments. In 2015, the officially released WEINAS. Liu Baochun, compared with 13 projects, official version of products in terms of function and appearance are a very significant improvement.
The technical team of more than 20 people, how to complete project development of medical robots? Lei feng's network (search for "Lei feng's network", public interest) question, Liu Baochun understood, because so many people had a similar question to him. "Compared to surgical robots, liquid robot work the threshold is not high, the core challenge is the integration of operational processes and the design of core parts. "Apple's success gave Liu Baochun great inspiration. Apple core chip design with the iOS platform, open to third-party hardware manufacturers in supply chain, so as to allow the team to focus at work.
"Service robot, to achieve China overtaking, systems integration is the only way out. "Based on Apple's products, Wei Bang will develop energy into liquid flow on the design of a key component and, several years later, Wei Bang already has more than 30 patents for core technology. In order to fix ampoule cutting machinery design, they contacted a European design company. "We demand, mechanical automation design scheme with the Europeans, intellectual property rights are ultimately our". In addition, the team also developed a set of interactive systems for robot. Reducer, roll pan, important components such as motors, Wei Bang select Mitsubishi, Sanyo, Toshiba of Japan and their supply.
(WEINAS overall structure of liquid robots)
Despite some first-mover advantages in products, and launched an adult product, but WEINAS liquid dispensing robot sales are not optimistic. According to Liu Baochun introduced, sales of 6 million Yuan last year. Compared with other medical devices, this data is not to his satisfaction. The main reason is that dispensing robots is a new medical equipment, not included in the regular procurement list of medical institutions. Even as the hospital is interested in product, but millions of prices to the General Hospital, immediately making the decision to purchase is more difficult. Therefore, the sales of liquid robots will have longer decision-making cycle, in the process of decision-making, the hospital's biggest concern is return on investment issues.
Insiders for the network account of Lei feng,
"A 4 million liquid robots, one hour to 12 single. According to the current PIVAS (pharmacy intravenous admixture Center) system of charges, a maximum is 15 Yuan, and revenue for an hour is 180 yuan. Because drugs have certain timeliness requirements for injection, Ward injections are mostly concentrated in the morning, there are loads of peak-Valley issues, estimated that at full capacity from 7 to 11 for four hours, other times will idle a lot, mandamansuan 1500 Yuan a day benefits, only 450,000 a year. 9 years to reach 4 million, and that's not counting job loss, maintenance, and labor costs. "
High equipment investment, in sight of profitability alone could explain from a cost perspective, foreign-funded enterprises reasons for not entering the domestic market. You know, huge profitability of MR (magnetic resonance examination products) all over in major medical institutions, by contrast, the cost could go to MR equipment to thousands of Yuan.
Results for the accounting industry, Liu Baochun thinks now costs as industry is a little premature. First, hospitals buy equipment not all of them have to consider cost-recovery, rail logistics system in hospitals is a precedent. Secondly, the manual configuration of the past 15 charges merely charges no charge on robot project. In other countries, compounding robots are there separate charges, high costs can be as much as $ 100. At the national level, with the popularity of liquid robots, the charges are also expected to implement. In addition, the company has begun to try to finance leasing sales model, third-party agencies to buy products of the Wei State, and then by the number of service charges for hospital. So that is controlling costs and increasing flexibility in the operation of the hospital.
All in all, Liu Baochun to market full of optimism,
"The market definitely exists, our patented and only at the international level, funding can live. This year, we guarantee to complete the 20 million sales. 2-3 years in the future, Wei Bang studied Toyota's lean manufacturing culture on the product side, while optimizing costs to update the equipment.
