Networked Robotics Corporation is an American scientific automation company that designs and manufactures electronic devices that monitor scientific instruments and environmental conditions via the internet.[1]
Based out of Evanston, Illinois, the company is focused on the collection and integration of scientific data from FDA-regulated sources such as freezers, incubators, liquid nitrogen cryopreservation freezers, rooms, shakers, contacts, and doors. Monitored parameters include temperature, gas concentrations, liquid levels, voltages, pressure, rotation, humidity, door status, and many others.
Scientific instruments speak different data languages. The company integrates data collection by using unique network hardware that speaks the unique digital and electronic languages of scientific instruments and sensors from different vendors and converting those individual languages to a common one on the network.
The company can be considered to be an Internet of Things provider.
Networked Robotics technology is used in the biotechnologies industry—including stem cell automation, medical industry, academia, food industry in efforts to enhance U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory compliance, quality, and loss prevention for their operations.[1]
The company sells a series of hardware products for network data collection from different kinds of sources. The NTMS4 networking hardware is their flagship product. The company's software, the Tempurity™ System, is free to customers. The company also provides regulatory services for companies doing FDA-regulated scientific research.
History
Networked Robotics was founded in 2004 by ex-Pfizer informatics researchers. The company's founders worked for almost 20 years in the automation of scientific processes for G.D. Searle & Company, Monsanto, Pharmacia, and Pfizer where they were responsible for the automation of experiments in inflammation.[2] Businessman Charles W. Woodford was a founding board member.
In 2006, Networked Robotics announced the introduction of Tempurity™, a network-based, real-time temperature monitoring system, designed to collect temperatures over a wide area network.[2] Tempurity includes an alarm system in which a user is notified by phone, text messaging, or e-mail when the area or device to be monitored falls outside of a set environmental range.[2] The software was developed to meet FDA standards and works with rooms, ovens, incubators, refrigerators, freezers and commercial ultra low temperature freezers.[2]
Information
In 2005, Networked Robotics hosted an international game server for an online competition of the video game Medal of Honor (series).[3] More than 280 daily contests were held, with winners from 25 different nations.[4] Contests for 2004 ended on February 8, 2005, the end of the lunar (Chinese) New Year.[4] The countries with the most winners on each continent were declared Networked Robotics continental champions.[4] Over 250,000 players from 66 countries and all US states have participated in Networked Robotics competition.[4]
