AGV Applications in the Hospital and Healthcare Industry

The FMC Technologies ATLIS (Automated Transport and Logistics Integration Systems) AGV/AGVS was specifically designed for the hospital and health care industry to provide safe, efficient automatic transportation of goods. The goods typically transported by this AGV/AGVS include carts of dietary/food items, medical/surgical supplies, reprocessable supplies, linens, trash/waste, pharmaceuticals, items for decontamination centers, and general housekeeping items. In addition to these primary ATLIS tasks, various types of auxiliary equipment can be totally integrated into the system. The items integrated include surgical cart lifts, cart washers, trash dumpers, retort sterilizers, automatic doors, fire alarms, and elevators. The ATLIS vehicle is outfitted with a stainless steel external skin and available with sealed controls for washdown applications. It is a reliable, safe, efficient and cost effective Automatic Transport System (ATS) which is an excellent replacement for overhead rail or AMSCAR Automatic Transport System (ATS).
