On August , 2025, ABB, a global leader in automation technology, announced that its advanced robotics technology is being deeply integrated into the medical industry, bringing revolutionary changes to the precision, efficiency, and intelligent development of medical services. With its profound expertise in motion control, artificial intelligence, and automation, ABB robots demonstrate excellent performance in multiple key aspects of the medical industry, reshaping the medical industry landscape.
In the field of surgical assistance, ABB's high-precision collaborative robots can closely cooperate with surgeons. Equipped with an advanced force feedback system, it can accurately sense the surgeon's hand movements and perform surgical operations with sub-millimeter accuracy, greatly enhancing the precision and stability of surgeries. For example, in neurosurgery, during brain tumor resection surgeries assisted by this robot, the probability of damage to surrounding nerve tissues is reduced by 30%, and the average postoperative recovery time of patients is shortened by 20%, significantly improving surgical outcomes and patient prognoses.
The pharmaceutical production process also relies on ABB robots. In sterile pharmaceutical production workshops, ABB's cleanroom - specific robots operate in strict accordance with the high - standard specifications of the pharmaceutical industry. These robots are capable of automatic material handling, precise drug dispensing, and efficient packaging. Through highly automated processes, they effectively reduce the risk of contamination caused by human operations, increasing the quality stability of pharmaceutical production to over 99.5%. Meanwhile, the efficient operation of the robots significantly improves production efficiency, increasing production capacity by 40% compared to traditional manual production lines.
In the field of medical device manufacturing, ABB robots perform outstandingly in the processing and assembly of small components, thanks to their flexible programming capabilities and high repeat positioning accuracy. During the production of precision medical devices such as pacemakers, the robots can accurately complete micron - level welding and assembly tasks, ensuring product quality consistency and reducing defective rates. According to feedback from a well - known medical device manufacturer, after introducing ABB robots, its product qualification rate has increased from 85% to 98%, effectively ensuring the reliability and safety of medical devices.
"The medical industry has extremely high requirements for the precision and reliability of technology, and the innovative applications of ABB robots are gradually meeting these requirements," said an ABB robotics expert in the medical industry. "By deeply integrating cutting - edge technologies with medical scenarios, such as using artificial intelligence algorithms to optimize robot operation paths, we not only improve the quality of medical services but also provide strong impetus for the sustainable development of the medical industry."
Currently, ABB robots have established long - term cooperative relationships with many well - known global medical institutions and pharmaceutical companies. In China, more than 60% of high - end medical device manufacturers and large pharmaceutical factories have adopted ABB's robot solutions. With the continuous progress of medical technology, ABB will continue to increase R & D investment and explore the application of robots in more medical scenarios such as telemedicine and rehabilitation nursing, accelerating the medical industry towards a more intelligent and human - centered direction.
