Adept Technology Delivers Largest Shipment to Date of Autonomous Mobile Robots to Swisslog
Order to Swisslog Reflects Increased Market Demand for RoboCourier in the Hospital Market
Adept Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:ADEP), a leading provider of intelligent robots and autonomous mobile solutions and services, today announced the delivery of a record shipment of autonomous mobile robots to Swisslog Healthcare Solutions (HCS) for use in hospitals, labs, and clinics to transport specimens, lab samples, and pharmaceuticals. The order totaled close to $500,000 in revenue and was recognized in Adept's third fiscal quarter of 2012.
Swisslog actively ships an autonomous mobile robot called the RoboCourierâ„¢, which is manufactured by Adept and built on the Adept MT400â„¢ platform. This recent shipment significantly expands the number of hospitals around the country able to realize simplified transport of materials, a chore that had previously distracted staff from their primary activities. These staffers are freed to spend their working hours accessioning specimens, performing tests, and on other activities specific to delivering increased levels of patient care.
Swisslog RoboCouriersâ„¢ are currently in operation at fifteen different hospital locations; many of which have been in operation for over three years. Hospitals realize the benefit of using the RoboCourier because it fits well into lean process improvements such as: reducing time spent walking, allowing for better flow by reducing the batch size of specimens, allows staff to focus on patient care tasks by minimizing distractions, and improving overall lab efficiency. The RoboCourier helps hospitals reduce their cost to perform lab work by increasing efficiency, improving workflow, and maximizing operational capacity.
