of autonomous mobile robots to Swisslog Healthcare Solutions

Swisslog actively ships an autonomous mobile robot called the
RoboCourier™, which is manufactured by Adept and built on the
Adept MT400™ platform. This recent shipment significantly
expands the number of hospitals around the country able to
realize simplified transport of materials, a chore that had
previously distracted staff from their primary activities.
These staffers are freed to spend their working hours
accessioning specimens, performing tests, and on other
activities specific to delivering increased levels of patient
care.
Swisslog RoboCouriers™ are currently in operation at fifteen
different hospital locations; many of which have been in
operation for over three years. Hospitals realize the benefit
of using the RoboCourier because it fits well into lean
process improvements such as: reducing time spent walking,
allowing for better flow by reducing the batch size of
specimens, allows staff to focus on patient care tasks by
minimizing distractions, and improving overall lab
efficiency. The RoboCourier helps hospitals reduce their cost
to perform lab work by increasing efficiency, improving
workflow, and maximizing operational capacity.
