Hospital logistics robot opens a new era of medical supplies distribution

At present, China's logistics industry is striving to transform from labor-intensive to technology-intensive, upgrading from the traditional manual distribution mode to the more intelligent, lower cost and safer robot material distribution mode. With the help of 5G, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, Internet of Things and other advanced technologies, more and more intelligent logistics robots with the functions of handling, control, sorting and other functions are going to the front line, challenging the traditional and extensive manual logistics transportation mode.

Need begets change


In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the economic level, the pursuit of high-quality development of the hospital has been put on the agenda. How to clarify the development of the hospital and effectively implement the high-quality construction goal of the hospital? The introduction of advanced scientific and technological means to liberate hospital productivity and realize the core value of hospital management coincides with the original intention of medical service robot research and development.


With the disappearance of demographic dividend, there is a prominent contradiction between the sharp rise of transportation business volume and the continuous rise of human cost in hospital development and construction, which makes cost reduction, efficiency improvement and quality of control become issues that cannot be ignored in hospital development and construction. In particular, the sudden arrival of COVID-19 has further intensified the outbreak of these conflicts. Robot products represented by artificial intelligence have been increasingly expanded in the application field of modern medical scene. They cooperate with people and the environment and deeply participate in each other, effectively improving these problems in various medical services.


Policy-driven development


The rise of any industry not only conforms to the overall market environment, but also conforms to the blueprint of the national development plan. From 2016 to 2021, China has launched a series of relevant industrial policies to encourage and support the development of the ARTIFICIAL intelligence industry. For example, on July 1, 2021, logistics equipment was included in the General Hospital Construction Standards organized and compiled by the National Health Commission for the first time, providing an important basis for the planning, design and construction of modern intelligent hospitals. With the strong support of national policies, the capital market has mushroomed, driving the rapid development of China's robot industry.




Technology capital accelerates the robot to the ground


The medical robot track is highly regarded by the capital, which also speeds up the commercialization process to a certain extent. According to incomplete statistics, as of September 2021, the 2021 medical robot track financing exceeded 37 cases; More than 8 companies have raised over 100 million yuan, and more than 80 investors participated; Multiple investors continue to follow up, highlighting the capital of the medical robot market prospects.


At the same time thanks to the intellisense, multimodal human computer interaction, cloud computing and other intelligent technology continues to mature, in the aspect of artificial intelligence technology in our country and the world was basically the same starting line, especially in the image recognition, speech recognition and semantic recognition multimodal human computer interaction technology, part is nearing and reached world leading level, And the deep integration of artificial intelligence and medical business products, in recent years are emerging in an endless stream. Take health care robots; Robots in business scenarios such as hospital logistics, patient service and disinfection sensing control have already gone to the front line. Their application effect and high user satisfaction are helping the traditional medical industry to transform into intelligent medical care.


Hospital intelligent logistics overall solution


As an important part of hospital logistics management system, hospital logistics is also one of the important directions of intelligent construction of modern hospitals. Hospital logistics has the characteristics of large transportation demand, multifarious material types, high safety requirements, strong time constraints, strict prevention and control of hospital sense, and traceability of material management, etc. Traditional logistics methods often cannot meet the needs. As a high-tech enterprise focusing on the field of medical AI, Ipsen focuses on the current pain points of hospital development, takes the lead in the layout of hospital logistics and transportation sector, details the application scenarios, identifies the advantages of robots, and "tailor" the robot delivery solutions of different departments in the hospital.




Hospital logistics solutions for robot wisdom is a robot product innovation in the field of hospital logistics alternative development and intelligence, robot developed by ipsen hospital logistics solutions for focus on hospital wisdom logistics transportation, can meet the drugs, aseptic bag, infusion bag, specimens, the automatic transfer of medical supplies such as garbage, bedding and clothing, Through 5G, artificial intelligence, unmanned driving, intelligent Internet of things, intelligent scheduling and other technologies, automatic material distribution and information control will be realized. It can also be connected to other logistics methods with strong compatibility, flexible configuration, traceable transportation process security, and equipped with intelligent scheduling platform and big data analysis platform to achieve high-level reuse of transport resources.


Multiple specifications and models can meet the distribution needs of different scenarios such as hospital operating room, consumption center, static distribution center, laboratory, pharmacy, etc. Unified management through intelligent scheduling system can maximize the benefits of hospital logistics.




Plan advantage


As soon as the whole solution project of Ipsen Hospital's intelligent logistics robot was launched, it was favored by all the top three hospitals. It was put into use in more than 200 hospitals, such as Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, Shenzhen People's Hospital, Central South Hospital of Wuhan University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, and has a trend of continuous popularity. Investigate the reason why it is so hot, xiaobian believes that the main robot transportation has the following prominent advantages:


1. Low deployment cost: Thanks to its own advantages of being flexible enough, logistics robots have strong adaptability and do not need to transform the original construction of hospitals, avoiding huge hospital reconstruction expenses and showing a very friendly side to the intelligent construction of old hospitals.


2. Whole-process digital traceability of distribution: The logistics robot can realize whole-process monitoring and traceability of medical supplies in the process of distribution through its own rights management, monitoring system and big data platform, so as to avoid the risk of wrong picking and delivery and achieve full closed-loop management of material flow.


3. Super high capacity: In terms of transportation volume, hospital logistics robot has a large carrying capacity, which can reach hundreds of kilograms in a single delivery, reducing the time delayed by multiple transportation.


4. Flexible scheduling: The hospital logistics robot does not need to rest, works all day and is on call. It also shows a high degree of cooperation for the delivery of materials at night, which fits the working mode of the hospital.


5. Avoid cross-infection: In the post-epidemic era, as front-line hospitals fighting with viruses for a long time, logistics robots can effectively reduce the risk of cross-infection caused by the distribution of artificial materials and protect the health of medical staff.


To sum up, it can be seen that the application of robots in hospital logistics sector has excellent advantages in cost, efficiency and quality control. At the same time, ipsen launched intelligent robot solutions for comprehensive epidemic prevention in the business scenarios of disinfection and patient services, including temperature measuring robot, disinfection robot, ward inspection robot and other advanced products. It shows the forward-looking and comprehensive industrial layout of Ipsen, and infuses strong scientific and technological support for the construction of hospital wisdom.


The future trend


Thanks to the support of policy, technology and capital, we believe that the application depth and breadth of robots in the future will be far greater than that, and they will innovate and iterate towards more intelligent and diversified scenarios, realizing the development of overall task automation, flexibility, interconnection of everything and refinement of application. Therefore, we might as well boldly imagine that in the future hospital, every subdivision of the robot figure, they and human mutual cooperation, mutual cooperation, improve the hospital service quality, improve the patient experience, jointly promote the high-quality development of the hospital, what will be a grand situation! With the transformation and maturity of robot technology, we have reason to believe that robot application will be the mainstream trend of the future medical field. We believe that artificial intelligence technology will bring a qualitative change to overturn the tradition for hospitals and even the whole market in the near future. Let's wait and see.
