Adept Technology Delivers New Generation of Autonomous Mobile Robots to Swisslog
30% Increase in Productivity Reported by Hospital Laboratories and Independent Commerical Laboratories
PLEASANTON, Calif., July 25, 2013 -- Adept Technology, Inc.
mobile solutions and services, today announced that it has delivered a new
generation of RoboCourierTM to Swisslog Healthcare Solutions (HCS) for use
in hospitals, clinical laboratories and pharmacies for the transport of
specimens, medications and supplies.
Swisslog's RoboCouriers have been in operation in hospitals and commercial
laboratories across North America for over three years. Hospitals realize
the benefit of using the RoboCourier because it fits well into Lean process
and quality improvements such as: reduced time spent walking, improved flow
and minimized distractions, thus allowing staff to focus on patient-care
tasks. Ultimately, RoboCourier helps hospitals reduce operational costs by
increasing efficiency, improving workflow, and maximizing operational
capacity.
"The new generation of RoboCourier offers several new features making it an
even stronger fit for the industry," states Sandy Agnos, Swisslog's
Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) Product Manager. "It is available both in an
open multiple-shelf version and in a closed, secure version. Options include
door and elevator interface and call buttons, which enable the vehicle to
self-navigate from area to area and floor to floor. Because it is built
upon Adept's new LynxTM platform, battery life has a 3X improvement and
navigation has been optimized to meet increasingly demanding requirements of
the environment."
"We are extremely pleased with our joint collaboration on the development of
the next generation of the RoboCourier," states Larry Anderson, Adept vice
president of Mobile. "Through partnerships like these we are able to help
our customers realize significant operational efficiencies and improved
capacity."
RoboCourier will be on display at the Swisslog booth 4408 at the AACC
Clinical Lab Expo in Houston TX, July 28 through August 1.
