The TUG is an affordable, automated courier system for the delivery and tracking of hospital goods and supplies. This autonomous mobile robot requires no extra infrastructure investment, is simple to install and can be applied across a variety of applications. Many hospitals have deployed multiple TUGs which have saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars.
TUG can deliver supplies, meals, meds and much more:
- Central Supply — delivery of medical supplies
- Dietary — delivery of late meals, removal of trays and handling of room service
- Pharmacy — delivery of meds on a schedule that matches patient care needs
- Laboratory — pickup of specimens
- Medical Records — delivery of charts
- Nursing — errands to lab, blood bank, medical records, admissions and more
- Linens — delivery of used laundry and linens
