Save Time and Reduce Manual Transport

A Swisslog autonomous mobile robot (AMR) dramatically reduces manual transport tasks within hospitals and independent laboratories. With a payload capacity of 50 lbs, AMRs shorten turnaround time and increase operational efficiency by returning man-hours for valueadded work. AMRs require no facility modification, install quickly, and are easy to maintain and use. Laser guidance enables avoidance of people and objects for safe operation in any environment.

SpeciMinder ™ for INTRA-Laboratory Transport

Swisslog’s SpeciMinder™ dispatches and delivers scheduled and on-demand batch payloads of specimens, tissues and other laboratory items between intra-laboratory workstations. Provides either on-demand or scheduled transport of batch loads weighing up to 50 pounds, thereby filling the materials transport void between our pneumatic tube system (on-demand light loads) and our automated guided vehicle system (scheduled heavy bulk loads).

Benefits:

  • Shortens turnaround time for validated lab results
  • Reduces manual transport of specimen batches
  • Lowers operating cost with fast ROI
  • Improves workflow process

SpeciMinder also improves the efficiency of laboratory personnel because they no longer must leave their workstation to deliver specimens throughout the laboratory. It is not uncommon that up to four hours per 24-hour staff shift are spent carrying specimens between the receiving area and lab locations. One SpeciMinder can efficiently move samples up to 12 to 16 hours per day. SpeciMinder requires Virtually No facility modification Unlike other conveying systems, can navigate any environment without lines, beacons, reflectors, magnets or tape because each robot is guided by an electronic map that is used to dynamically plan the best route to a selected destination.

Simple to Use
Once SpeciMinder’s payload tray is loaded, a destination is selected and the automated robot selects the most efficient route to deliver the specimens.

Designed with Safety in Mind

TUG® The Automated Robotic Delivery System

The demands on today's hospital pharmacies are greater than ever before. With advances in pharmaceutical treatments and patient protocols, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians must remain focused on ensuring accurate medication fulfillment and minimizing adverse drug interactions and side effects.

Aethon's automated robotic delivery solution, TUG®, allows the pharmacy to improve the frequency and reliability of medication deliveries, ensuring secure scheduled and on-demand distribution from the pharmacy to the nurses' station. With its state-of-the art delivery technology, TUG can easily navigate through hallways, doorways, elevators, and even narrow aisle ways with human traffic to ensure safe, timely, and accurate delivery every time.

With its 24/7 availability, nurses no longer need to waste time tracking down medications during night and weekend shifts, leading to increased time at the patients' bedside, better outcomes, and patient and employee satisfaction. Staff shortages and off-shift coverage are no longer an issue with TUG managing the delivery process.

Benefits:

  • Keep up with the growing demand for new orders needed on the nursing unit
  • Reduced order-to-delivery time
  • Refocus pharmacy staff on their core functions, reducing medical errors.
  • Increased nurse time at the bedside
