flexible endoscopes). The idea was to consolidate its 7 disinfection centers into one in order to professionalize the staff in the treatment and management of endoscopes. A problem then arose: this grouping distanced the user services from disinfection.<\/p><p>Transport by courier was then set up at a rate of 4 return trips per day, at a fixed time, between Cetres and 4 services.<\/p><p>One day the company SwissEnov contacted the Nantes CHU to offer 2 courier robots. We had the idea of testing this technology for transporting endoscopes, particularly with a view to the future hospital in Nantes.<\/p><p>This ultra-innovative technology was implemented with strong involvement from the Cetres team. As with any project involving new technologies, getting started is not always easy, but the team \u201cplayed the game\u201d well. The 4 deliveries per day were maintained for the time to stabilize the operation of the robots and then transferred to other services one after the other.<\/p><p>Obviously questions have arisen: safety, potential inconvenience caused in the corridors, ease of use, etc.<\/p><p>Despite malfunctions at start-up, the Cetres team was really helpful and the operation improved over the months. It did not take long for users (caregivers) to be convinced by this technology. We quickly saw the benefits of such a solution. With rapidly advancing technology what was very difficult a few years ago like delivering and traversing a care unit from start to finish is now easily done by robots.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f36fc3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f36fc3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f3dfda elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6f3dfda\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What are the main benefits?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9c340d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b9c340d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"bodytext\">We are on our 3rd generation of robots.

This eases the workload for disinfection of endoscopes; result: from 4 round trips per day before the robots, we are now at 55 round trips per day.<\/li><li><strong>Transport time reliability<\/strong>: The robot is truly autonomous. He takes the elevator, opens motorized doors, avoids obstacles, warns by various possible means when he has reached his destination&#8230;<\/li><li><strong>Utilisation facility.<\/strong> Less than 30s and one tap on the robot screen to identify yourself, open the robot, retrieve\/remove an endoscope and send the robot off to its next
