Supply runs stretched the campus

A regional hospital in Northern California moves linens, kits, and stock totes between central stores, units, and support areas across a spread-out campus. Staff repeated long corridor loops while closets ran low between runs.

Leadership wanted one dedicated robot to prove steady mileage on mapped supply routes before funding additional units.

  • Long walks between central stores and towers
  • Elevator bottlenecks at shift change
  • Weekend stockroom coverage gaps

Supplies-owned dispatch

The hospital assigned one mobile robot to materials services with supervisors queuing runs on mapped routes. Teams staged totes at release points and tracked miles through the June 2023 through May 2024 award scorecard.

Rollout stayed focused on supply loops until mileage totals stabilized across the full measurement year.

  • Map store-to-unit connectors before go-live
  • Publish supplies-owned dispatch by shift
  • Review miles monthly against the award window

In that twelve-month period the supply robot logged 2,574 documented miles, ranking first nationally among single-robot supplies mileage entries in the public RoboHero results.

That figure gives hospital operators a verified benchmark when they compare hospital delivery robot rental against owned supply-chain AMRs.

What twenty-five hundred supply miles signal

Service Robot Co. helps hospitals pilot one supply robot before they fund a fleet. We stay vendor neutral, offer hospital delivery robot rental when capital is tight, and bundle mapping, training, and nationwide maintenance.
