Sweden: Potential for automated logistics in hospitals
Ny Teknik, 29 Nov 2016, online:-
Bernt Henriksen at Swedish industrial IT consultant Prevas has been involved in projects which show that there is great potential for introducing automation solutions for hospital warehouse logistics. The potential is reportedly in line with that in the automotive manufacturing industry. The conclusions are based on Henriksen's study of warehouse management in Nya Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm. Henriksen built a virtual solution in simulation programme Robot Studio which combined logistics systems with a standard robot and self-driving trucks. Reactions in the hospital have been very positive and the hospital has already launched a procurement for establishing an automated system.
