Regarding the requirement on the efficiency and quality claimed in iron ore sampling and sample preparation and analysis, the user has to face the challenge how to do inspection quickly while ensuring its high standard quality. The best solution shall be investing to establish a robotic sampling and sample preparation system which is completely better than traditional sytem to reduce repeatability error and labor error to the utmost, expand the system suitability and realize the traceability of samples. Prior to commencing a robotic sampling and sample preparation system, there are several questions to clarify: First of all, will the system be beneficial? Are you short of operation and maintenance staff? Will the robotic system be able to improve economic efficiency by increasing capacity and quality compared to the investment? If the answer is yes, the only solution shall be establishing a robotic sampling and sample preparation system. Due to the high flexibility, the robotic sampling and sample preparation system can meet the various requirements of different clients, so it will have a bright prospect for development.
