Material transport processes in a hospital can be spontaneous or scheduled. For example, transport of drugs, specimens, samples and blood products, or sterile goods require an immediate response.

Scheduled material transport is usually for larger volumes within special containers. Typical logistic processes with scheduled material transport include the transport of food, linens or waste.

Swisslog offers automated material transport systems for both on-demand and scheduled transport within the hospital. Our systems are designed for the hospital environment, where sterility and highly sensitive transport of goods must be taken into consideration.
