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.

On-demand

Nurse stations request additional supplies.

Scheduled

Plan around ward consumption and shifts.

Stationed / bulk

Station robots indoors and configure cross-building store batches as needed.

Choose TRANGO for cross-building batches and KAGO for indoor runs, with manual transfers when needed. Automatic docking transfer, disinfection and stock decisions are not included.

Terminals and configuration

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

  • Terminals

    Configure TRANGO/KAGO for routes, batches and compartments.

  • Platform

    Task monitoring, arrival/receipt, exceptions and statistics; assess APIs separately.

Suitability

Scenario fit

Replenish care consumables, daily items and small linen loads between central stores, ward stores, nurse stations and treatment rooms.

  • On-demand

    Nurse stations request additional supplies.

  • Scheduled

    Plan around ward consumption and shifts.

  • Stationed / bulk

    Station robots indoors and configure cross-building store batches as needed.

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. Central store

    Prepare, count and load.

  2. Ward store / nurse station

    Check, receive and restock.

  3. Treatment / support

    Define receipt, charging and safe waiting.

Locations

  • Central store
  • Ward store / nurse station
  • Treatment / support

Validate a complete loop

Central store → Ward store / nurse station → Treatment / support

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

Site readiness and operations

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

  • Deliverables

    Locations, devices, maps, IoT list, training and acceptance records.

  • Indicative timing

    Survey 3–5 days, IoT 1–2 weeks, deployment one week, testing and trial 1–2 weeks each, subject to readiness.

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

Fleet planning

Pilot and expansion

Start with one ward, one floor and three to five points. One TRANGO plus two or three KAGO units is a source reference for one store/building, not a bed-based sizing rule.

Terminals

Configure TRANGO/KAGO for routes, batches and compartments.

Platform

Task monitoring, arrival/receipt, exceptions and statistics; assess APIs separately.

Sizing considerations
Sizing variableEffect on capacity
Task cycleMeasure request, execution, handover, return and charging time.
Site scopeCentral store, Ward store / nurse station, Treatment / support
Staff coordinationAllow for available receiving, reviewing and exception-response staff.

Source configurations/data refer to their stated scenario; confirm final sizing through site validation.

Pilot & operation

Suggested implementation

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

  1. Confirm scope

    Site preparation

    Start with one ward, one floor and three to five points. One TRANGO plus two or three KAGO units is a source reference for one store/building, not a bed-based sizing rule.

  2. Configure and commission

    Once prerequisites are ready

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

  3. Trial and acceptance

    As agreed for the project

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

Common questions

Where should the pilot start?

Start with one ward, one floor and three to five points. One TRANGO plus two or three KAGO units is a source reference for one store/building, not a bed-based sizing rule.

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?

Choose TRANGO for cross-building batches and KAGO for indoor runs, with manual transfers when needed. Automatic docking transfer, disinfection and stock decisions are not included.

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.
