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.
