Selected by the UniHA purchasing group, Meanwhile has won the public procurement contract for “automated flow solutions using autonomous mobile robots and associated services”. The goal? Enable healthcare establishments to optimize their floor logistics transformation with innovative, intelligent solutions for automated transport of medical equipment.
Lyon, November 08, 2023 – Meanwhile has just been selected by UniHA to support healthcare facilities in their transformation to floor logistics. As of October 17, 2023, Meanwhile robots will be available in the UniHA catalog under reference: M2894.
The need to pool medical resources to save money means that new hospital complexes are becoming more and more extensive. The health professions are constantly under pressure. We have seen that medical/paramedical staff spend a large part of their time traveling to transport equipment. This activity forces him to interrupt his main mission: to be with his patients; and most of the time generates a great source of stress and a great loss of efficiency.
That’s why Meanwhile offers complete, intelligent solutions for the automated transport of medical equipment (samples, containers, cases, hospital carts, etc.) between different points in the facility (station, collection point, department, etc.).
As transport may take place on several floors throughout the healthcare facility, the Mobile Robots are required to take the elevator(s) autonomously, and to circulate safely in a dynamic environment used by hospital staff and the general public (patients, children, stretcher-bearers).
Here are a few examples of applications already covered by Meanwhile solutions in healthcare facilities:
“We are honored by this collaboration, which is a token of recognition of our know-how and expertise in autonomous mobile robotics for the benefit of healthcare facilities. This collaboration should accelerate this transformation thanks to simplified access to Meanwhile products.” – Eva Borisov, Health Project Manager at Meanwhile.
