Based on a documented real-world deployment. Figures are from public reporting; the organization is not named.

Clinical time lost to the walk between units

On a busy hospital campus, clinical staff cover real distances between units on errands that have nothing to do with bedside care. Each trip pulls a nurse or clinician away from the patient they are caring for.

The supplier frames this case around one measure: time handed back to nurses and clinical teams. That framing turns a vague problem into a testable one, namely which trips a robot can take and how many staff hours that releases.

Putting a delivery robot to work on the campus

The deployment placed a mobile manipulator in the delivery work of a hospital campus. The robot carried items between locations so that nursing and clinical staff could spend more of their shift near patients.

The supplier reports two outputs: hours returned to nurses and clinical teams, and deliveries completed by the robot. Both come from the supplier's own reporting and are presented here as that account.

Reported hours returned and deliveries completed

The headline figure is over 14,300 hours returned to nurses and clinical teams, as reported by the robot supplier. The same reporting puts deliveries completed by the robot at over 27,500. Both numbers are vendor reported and describe one hospital campus.

Hours returned matter most at the nursing unit. Each hour handed back is time a nurse or clinical team member can spend on patient care instead of transport. A campus weighing a similar outcome should test it against local staffing records before it sets a target.

These figures describe one hospital campus. They do not establish what another hospital, another floor plan or another robot fleet would return.

What this means for a hospital delivery robot lease

Service Robot Co. did not run this deployment. We use it to show what a hospital campus should settle before a delivery robot goes live. We are a full service, vendor neutral commercial robot integrator for US businesses.

We select the right robots across manufacturers, then lease, deploy, integrate, train and service every unit through a nationwide US engineer network. The campus gets one partner and one number for the whole lifecycle, from robot deployment and integration through ongoing service.

Robot lease options start with site assessment mapping, which records the floor plan, routes and elevator access before any hardware is chosen. Service Robot Co. quotes one fixed robot lease payment on a three year lease, with the quote made after that assessment. A campus can also start with one leased unit before it commits to more.

Frequently asked questions

The robot supplier reports over 14,300 hours returned to nurses and clinical teams at one hospital campus. That figure is the supplier's own reporting for that campus. Ask any supplier for the measurement period, the trips counted and how hours were calculated, then compare those answers with your staffing data.
