The service

Service flow and ownership

Robots execute configured tasks; responsible staff retain verification and on-site response.

  1. Users

    Request

    Select items, destination and required time.

  2. Dispatch staff

    Prepare and load

    Check items, packaging and compartments; load manually and confirm.

  3. Robot

    Deliver

    Follow configured routes and access rules.

  4. Recipients

    Handover

    Receive the arrival alert, use configured access and verify receipt.

  5. Managers

    Retain records

    Review completion, exceptions and handover records.

Confirm execution separately from human handover/review; assigned staff take over exceptions.

Roles

  • Dispatch and receiving staff

    Request, prepare, load, verify and acknowledge receipt.

  • Robot

    Transport, notify and return status within the configured scope.

  • Management and support

    Maintain points, schedules, equipment, exception handling and records.

Service modes

Select modes for the workflow; agree extensions separately.

Medication: one to many

Pharmacy bags and lists orders by department; the document illustrates up to three orders.

Specimens: many to one

Departments seal transport boxes for the laboratory with authorized handovers.

Items: one to one

Receive sterilized tools/reports against lists; two tool packs are illustrative.

Separate medication, specimens and tools under hospital packaging/infection-control rules. Automatic disinfection, active temperature control and clinical decisions are not established.

Terminals and configuration

Document-based scope; confirm supplied model, options and site fit.

  • Delivery terminal

    Match compartments/access to drug bags, specimen boxes and tool packs.

  • Time sharing

    The source illustrates morning drugs/specimens, noon reports and afternoon consumables; adapt to hospital workflows.

Suitability

Scenario fit

Support one-to-many medication, many-to-one specimens and one-to-one sterilized tools/reports, sharing capacity by time while hospital staff verify handovers.

  • Medication: one to many

    Pharmacy bags and lists orders by department; the document illustrates up to three orders.

  • Specimens: many to one

    Departments seal transport boxes for the laboratory with authorized handovers.

  • Items: one to one

    Receive sterilized tools/reports against lists; two tool packs are illustrative.

Where the service helps

Reduce repeated trips around these tasks and define on-site handovers.

Coordination priorities
  • Reduce repeated trips

    Assign suitable repeated routes to robots and compare results in the pilot.

  • Clear handovers

    Verify outcomes against task, destination and responsible role.

  • Operational review

    Use task states and exception records to adjust routes, schedules and configuration.

Building route

Routes and service points

Configure routes for the actual site; diagrams explain the workflow.

  1. Pharmacy / departments

    Create tasks via PAD, web, app or screen; staff prepare and load.

  2. Lab / nursing receipt

    Verify items and electronic receipt; confirm weighing/missed-item reminders against configuration.

  3. Standby / charging

    Choose parked dispatch, scheduled shuttle or remote calls.

Locations

  • Pharmacy / departments
  • Lab / nursing receipt
  • Standby / charging

Validate a complete loop

Pharmacy / departments → Lab / nursing receipt → Standby / charging

Diagrams explain the flow; survey actual passages, thresholds, access and stops.

Site readiness and operations

Confirm site, equipment and staffing; verify interfaces per project.

  • Hospital integration

    Commission doors/lifts and assess optional system interfaces; full HIS/LIS/SPD integration is not a default prerequisite.

  • Performance

    Brochure cases and accuracy/on-time figures are references; define and measure project acceptance separately.

Commission configured interfaces, notifications and access; assign site contacts and staff fallback.

Pilot & operation

Suggested implementation

The following are project assessment and acceptance suggestions, subject to site confirmation.

  1. Confirm scope

    Validate one clear workflow including packaging, loading, identity, notification and receipt before adding departments and time windows.

  2. Configure and commission

    Check devices, routes, points, accounts and necessary access/system interfaces.

  3. Trial and acceptance

    Validate real tasks, staff coordination, exceptions and records before expansion.

Common questions

Where should the pilot start?

Validate one clear workflow including packaging, loading, identity, notification and receipt before adding departments and time windows.

How do robots and staff share work?

Dispatch and receiving staff:Request, prepare, load, verify and acknowledge receipt. Robot:Transport, notify and return status within the configured scope. Management and support:Maintain points, schedules, equipment, exception handling and records.

What needs separate confirmation?

Separate medication, specimens and tools under hospital packaging/infection-control rules. Automatic disinfection, active temperature control and clinical decisions are not established.

How are configuration and acceptance set?

Use source recommendations as a starting point, then confirm against site routes, supplied equipment and trial data. Suggested checks do not establish fixed performance or service guarantees.
