[Case Study] All-weather AGV System - Okinawa Prefecture Hospital Facility (Unmanned Transport Vehicle)
Reduce staff burden! It accommodates inclines of up to 3 degrees and unevenness of less than 5mm.
We would like to introduce the case of Sophia, which has two wards, implementing a "Meal Delivery System (Automated Guided Vehicle)." On rainy and windy days, staff members travel between the two wards to transport "meals," "linens," and "waste." The development of this AGV was driven by the board's desire to "reduce the burden on staff." The biggest challenge in the development was the requirement for the vehicle to operate outdoors. This AGV can handle inclines of up to 3 degrees and uneven surfaces of less than 5mm. Additionally, since transportation to each floor is necessary, it is also linked to the elevator system. 【Case Overview】 ■Industry: Hospital-related ■Implemented System: Meal Delivery System (Automated Guided Vehicle) ■Implementation Site: Disability Support Facility Sophia *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
