Product Description

Swisslog, a leading provider of automated materials transport and pharmacy automation solutions for hospitals, announced that it has entered the autonomous mobile robot market with the introduction of Swisslog SpeciMinder and Swisslog RoboCourier in North America. SpeciMinder and RoboCourier will be manufactured for Swisslog by CCS Robotics, Inc., widely recognized as a national leader in the development of autonomous mobile robots for commercial applications within hospitals and laboratories. SpeciMinder robots produced by CCS Robotics have been in use in major medical facilities for the past three years. Autonomous mobile robots are a natural extension of Swisslog’s Automated Materials Transport Systems (AMTS) product family. The AMTS product portfolio currently consists of a pneumatic tube system for rapid on-demand transport of light loads throughout a hospital and an automatic guided vehicle system for scheduled transport of heavy bulk loads. SpeciMinder and RoboCourier provide either on-demand or scheduled transport of batch loads weighing up to 50 pounds, thereby filling the void between the other AMTS products.
