Every department wanted the runner
A large South Texas hospital moves medications, supplies, and meal carts between towers, clinics, and support areas all day. Porters and technicians repeated the same loops while units waited on the next tote.
Leadership needed proof that one robot could serve multiple departments without chaos before they bought a fleet. They focused on shared-use dispatch with a clear queue owner.
- Competing requests from nutrition and pharmacy
- Elevator bottlenecks at shift change
- Weekend coverage gaps on long corridors
Shared dispatch with one queue owner
The hospital assigned one mobile robot to a shared-use program with supervisors prioritizing runs on mapped routes. Departments staged totes at release points and tracked utilization through the June 2023 through May 2024 award scorecard.
Rollout kept a single dispatch desk until delivery totals stabilized across the full measurement year.
- Map tower connectors before go-live
- Publish shared dispatch rules by shift
- Review delivery counts monthly against the award window
Leading single-robot shared-use deliveries
In that twelve-month period the shared-use robot completed 16,288 documented deliveries, ranking among the top single-robot shared-use award entries in the public RoboHero results.
That figure gives Texas hospitals a verified benchmark when they compare hospital delivery robot rental against owned shared logistics AMRs.
