EVIE Medi Pod™

Autonomous Hospital Pods: Revolutionising Healthcare Logistics with Smart Automation

By automating the transportation of goods within the hospital, autonomous porter pods reduce the need for manual labour. This results in cost savings associated with staffing, training, and operational expenses. Additionally, they can operate continuously, maximising productivity and reducing downtime.

Autonomous Medi-podsTM can handle various tasks, such as delivering medications, lab samples, linens, and equipment to different departments or patient rooms. This improves workflow by eliminating the need for manual transportation and enabling faster and more accurate deliveries.

EVIE Medi-podsTM are equipped with advanced sensors and navigation systems, allowing them to detect obstacles, avoid collisions, and navigate safely through hospital corridors. This reduces the risk of accidents and ensures the safety of both patients and staff.

Medi-pods can play a vital role in maintaining infection control standards within healthcare facilities. They can be designed with antimicrobial surfaces, minimising the risk of contamination and cross-infection. Additionally, they can follow designated routes, reducing unnecessary contact with patients and staff.

With autonomous capabilities, hospital Medi-Pods™ can ensure prompt and reliable delivery of critical items, such as medications or urgent lab samples. This improves the overall efficiency of patient care and reduces delays in diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring.

EVIE Medi-Pods™ can optimize the utilisation of hospital resources. They can monitor inventory levels, track usage patterns, and help with supply management. This enables efficient allocation of resources, reducing waste and ensuring availability when needed.

Medi-Pods™ can gather data during their operations, providing valuable insights for process optimisation. This data can be analysed to identify bottlenecks, streamline workflows, and improve overall efficiency in hospital logistics.

By handling routine transportation tasks, Medi-Pods™ can free up hospital staff to focus on more critical patient care responsibilities. This helps alleviate the workload and allows healthcare professionals to dedicate more time to providing quality care.

Embracing autonomous hospital Medi-Pods™ positions healthcare facilities for future advancements in automation and robotics. They can be integrated with other smart hospital technologies, such as inventory management systems or electronic health records, creating a more interconnected and efficient healthcare environment.

Autonomous Mobility Platforms (AMPs) can be used for various different purposes, for example, they can be beneficial in transporting materials between different parts of a factory. This can help to reduce the amount of time that workers spend walking, and it can also help to improve the accuracy of deliveries.
In logistics, AMPs can be used to pick and place items in warehouses. This can help to improve the efficiency of the picking process, and it can also help to reduce the risk of injuries.
In healthcare, AMPs can be used to deliver medication and supplies to patients. This can help to free up nurses and doctors to focus on other tasks, and it can also help to improve patient safety.

The Benefits

AMPs can operate without the need for human operators, which can lead to significant reductions in labour costs and frees up time for other manual jobs to be done within the same time frame. They can be programmed to operate more smoothly and predictably, which can lead to improved efficiency.

AMPs are equipped with sensors and software that can help them avoid accidents. This can lead to a significant reduction in accidents, injuries, and fatalities, they can be used to transport hazardous materials or other materials that would be dangerous for humans to transport, and AMPs can be used to transport people who are unable to walk, such as the elderly, the disabled, and children.

The Technicalities

Our AMPs, much the same as our other range of autonomous vehicles, are equipped with a variety of sensors, such as cameras, EVIE Ai Radar, and many other vital sensors, that help them to perceive their surroundings. These sensors are used to generate a 3D model of the environment, which is used to plan and execute safe and efficient movements.

AMPs are also equipped with sophisticated software that is used to control the vehicle’s movement, as well as to interact with other vehicles and pedestrians. This software is constantly being updated to improve the performance of the vehicle. AMPs need to be able to communicate with each other and with infrastructure, such as traffic lights and road signs. This communication is essential for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of AMPs.
