AUTOMATION FOR EFFICIENCY IN HOSPITALS

Streamlined transportation in hospitals for improved efficiency

Automation is the key to unlocking efficiency and savings in many industries, and the health space is no exception. Manufacturer Aethon produces automated guided vehicles to transport goods like meals and linens in hospitals.

The TUG system uses autonomous smart navigation, a laser floor dimensioning tool, as well as sensing technology to deftly, safely and autonomously navigate busy hospital corridors, making both scheduled and on-demand deliveries. Aethon’s system tackles logistical challenges so that medical staff can devote time and energy to what really matters: patient care.
