AGVs in the hospital
12 December 2012
Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are becoming increasingly popular for efficient transportation of goods within hospitals, typically moving linen, refuse, medical waste, patient meals, soiled food trays and even surgical instruments.
They can be programmed to open doors and use lifts automatically, allowing access to practically any area in a building.
Over the past 16 years, the 2400- bed Motol University Hospital in Prague has taken full advantage of AGV technology supplied by E&K Automation. The flexible AGV system is said to be an integral part of the hospital's future, owing to the longevity of the constituent parts and E&K's ability to constantly upgrade and develop the installation to suit the customer's ever-changing needs.
The institution's infrastructure includes a 38-vehicle AGV system for transport of goods within and between different buildings.
