Certification enables faster development and deployment of Telescope's Self-Driving Labs
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 15, 2024) - Telescope Innovations Corp. (CSE: TELI) (OTCQB: TELIF) ("Telescope Innovations" or the "Company"), a developer of enabling technologies and services for the global pharmaceutical and chemical industries, announces its achievement of Certified Systems Integrator ("CSI") status for robotic instruments sold by Universal Robots ("UR"). UR has emerged as a global provider of collaborative robots for manufacturing and production automation, as well as for integration with artificial intelligence ("AI"). Telescope Innovations has used UR's robotic components for its Self-Driving Laboratories ("SDLs"), which accelerate chemistry research by combining advanced process analytical technology, AI, and robotics (Figure 1).

TELESCOPE INNOVATIONS' ADVANTAGE AS A UR CERTIFIED SYSTEMS INTEGRATOR
Telescope Innovations has gained key know-how and expertise on UR robotic systems. This expanded knowledge base empowers the Company in two ways:
i) Faster development cycles for Telescope Innovations' SDLs.
SDLs aim to optimize chemical synthesis and manufacturing approaches up to 100x faster than traditional methods,1 resulting in shorter timelines and lower costs from discovery to market of new chemicals and pharmaceuticals. SDL development is a key pillar of Telescope's technology, and by gaining deep expertise in UR robots, Telescope Innovations can build, test, and demonstrate SDLs more quickly and efficiently than before.
ii) Facilitated deployment of SDLs for Telescope Innovations clients.
Telescope Innovations can now seamlessly transfer SDL technology to client sites by performing installation, testing, and training of clients with UR robots. This in-house expertise lowers the barrier for SDL adoption, ensuring Telescope Innovations technology is meaningfully deployed to accelerate chemistry R&D.
"This certification strengthens our position as integrators-of-choice for companies seeking advanced chemical technologies," noted Jason Hein, CTO of Telescope Innovations. "We're excited to combine this enhanced robotics expertise with our hallmark analytical technology to build and deploy more powerful SDLs."
