Specimen Transporting Robot

TransLogic, a Swisslog Healthcare company

RoboCourier from Swisslog is an autonomous mobile robot capable of transporting lab specimens throughout a health care facility. RoboCourier removes delivery tasks from laboratory staff, contributing to lean process improvements by increasing efficiency, maximizing operations, and improving workflow. Available for both intra-departmental and inter-departmental use, RoboCourier provides on-demand and scheduled transport of items weighing up to 50 pounds. The robot uses human-like voice commands that notify staff of its presence, and laser guidance assures avoidance of people and objects. Additionally, RoboCourier can interface with automatic doors along its route and can operate for 24 hours between battery recharging. It requires no facility modifications during installation and its route can be quickly mapped and easily modified.
