Linen carts owned the connectors
A large acute-care hospital in the Pacific Northwest moves soiled and clean linen carts between units, laundry, and holding areas all day. Porters repeated the same loops while nursing units waited on fresh stock.
Linen volume spikes when census rises and when weekend coverage thins. Leadership wanted one dedicated robot to prove dispatch discipline before spreading units to nutrition or pharmacy.
- Soiled and clean carts sharing elevator banks
- Night and weekend linen backlogs
- Long walks between laundry and patient towers
Dedicated linen dispatch
The hospital assigned one mobile robot to linen services with supervisors queuing runs on mapped routes. Staff staged carts at release points and tracked utilization through the June 2023 through May 2024 award scorecard.
Rollout stayed focused on linen only until delivery totals stabilized across the full measurement year.
- Map laundry to unit loops before go-live
- Publish linen-owned dispatch by shift
- Review delivery and mileage monthly
National top single-robot linen deliveries
In that twelve-month period the linen robot completed 5,582 documented deliveries, ranking first nationally among single-robot linen award entries. The same unit logged 1,144 miles in the companion mileage category, reflecting steady corridor use across the site.
Those public figures give Pacific Northwest hospitals a verified benchmark when they compare hospital delivery robot rental against owned linen AMR programs.
