Revolution in medical technology: robots secure sterile goods transport!

Nicht verfügbar - In modern medical technology, efficient sterile goods supply is not just a wish, but a necessity. The EK Robotics company has recognized this and has been relating to driverless transport systems (FTS) for years to meet these challenges. In 2023, a strategic decision was made to exchange outdated systems and to switch to new technologies. The exchange included the exchange of three existing systems of a competitor through transport robots of the "Heavy Move" series, which now take over the deposit and outsourcing of six sterilization chambers. These robots are equipped with four forks and can also transport two pallets, which is essential in the fast -moving and precise world of medical technology. [Technical Logistics] (https://www.technische-logistik.net/news/sicher-s-s- und--efficiency-der-der-dernilgut-Sachorge-mit-fts-ek-Robotics.html) reports that such efficiency gains decisively for compliance with the strict cycle times in the sterilization process are.

The real stars of the new system are the twelve "Vario Move CB" vehicles, which are specially designed for the automated transport of prepared medical devices. These vehicles operate on two levels in 24/7 operation and manage a transport route of around 500 meters. The close structural condition requires the highest precision in navigation, because the robots must be able to ensure the time -critical handover at 20 chambers of post with three buffer traces each. Only a maximum preparation time of 60 minutes is available for each batch. Material flow simulation plays an important role in guaranteeing the clock accuracy and avoiding possible delays. Robotics Production emphasizes that these robots not only increase efficiency, but also relieve the staff.

The use of driverless transport systems

How does it all work in practice? The driverless transport vehicles (FTF) or transport systems (FTS) play a central role in hospital logistics. They are equipped with their own driving drive and transport goods on predefined routes within the clinics. These automatic means of transport do not require personnel support because they are managed and controlled without contact. Their advantage lies not only in efficiency, but also in safety, since they are reliably able to transport different goods such as consumption articles, medicines, sterile goods, laundry, dishes and waste. [Future University Clinic] (https://www.zukunft-uniklinik.de/Medizin-der-zukunft/digitalization/freuherlose Transport systems) describes these systems as indispensable for a smooth clinic.

The new systems from EK Robotics are therefore more than just technical gimmicks. You ensure that sensitive medical devices that are treated with gaseous sterilization can always be provided in good time and safely. The integration of this technology into the everyday work of clinics not only benefits the company, but also creates better working conditions for medical personnel.

Overall, it can be said that the digital revolution in medical technology is significantly promoted by the use of FTS. Efficiency, security and high adaptability are just a few of the advantages that these systems offer. The future of sterile goods supply in clinics looks promising thanks to such innovative solutions.
