Challenges
Modern hospitals face a variety of complex logistical challenges, especially in large medical facilities where the efficiency of transporting supplies and medications is crucial to the hospital’s operations. To improve efficiency and reduce human error, a Class III Grade A hospital decided to optimize its internal logistics system. The goal was to ensure that critical supplies and medications could be delivered to their destinations promptly and safely, thereby improving the overall quality of medical services
Solution
To address these challenges, the hospital introduced four Reeman Big Dog delivery robots specifically for the transportation of medicines and medical supplies. By deploying an automated transport system, the hospital was able to significantly enhance internal logistics efficiency, reduce human contact, minimize infection risks, and ensure the timely supply of medical materials during critical moments.
Implementation Process
Before the project commenced, we engaged in in-depth discussions with the hospital’s logistics management team to understand their needs. After conducting a detailed on-site survey and analyzing the hospital’s layout, we identified that the main bottlenecks in the hospital’s material transportation were cross-floor delivery and the safe transport of sensitive medications. To address these issues, we equipped the Big Dog transport robots with cold chain transport and floor control modules, ensuring that the robots could autonomously use elevators when needed and maintain the safety and stability of medications during transit.
During the deployment phase, our engineering team collaborated with the hospital’s IT department, combining remote and on-site guidance to swiftly complete the installation and commissioning of the robot system. Throughout this process, we maintained effective communication with the hospital to ensure that every detail of the system met stringent medical standards.
Results and Benefits
The application of Reeman Big Dog delivery robots in the hospital yielded remarkable results:
- Medication Transport:The robots were configured to automatically transport various medications, including high-value cancer drugs and vaccines, from the central pharmacy to different wards and operating rooms, significantly reducing contamination risks during transportation.
- Medical Equipment Delivery:The robots were also responsible for delivering critical medical instruments and surgical kits from the warehouse to the operating room before surgery, ensuring that surgeries could start on time, thereby improving the continuity and efficiency of surgical procedures.After several months of operation, the burden of non-core tasks on medical staff was greatly reduced, and the overall operational efficiency of the hospital improved significantly.
