Moxi, an autonomous mobile manipulation robot from Diligent Robotics, will provide last-mile delivery offerings through its partnership with Swisslog Healthcare.
Swisslog Healthcare, a supplier of transport and pharmacy automation offerings, announced a strategic alliance with Diligent Robotics to bring autonomous last-mile delivery robots to hospitals across the United States.
Swisslog Healthcare said this cooperative partnership extends its comprehensive suite of automation offerings, complementing its existing systems with Diligent Robotics' autonomous mobile manipulation robots (AMMRs).
The companies said that the collaboration aims to streamline workflows, automate tasks, and empower hospital pharmacies to elevate patient care. By joining forces, both companies seek to address the rising demand for efficient, end-to-end hospital logistics offerings that drive operational efficiency and allow healthcare staff to focus more on patient care.
"Our strategic alliance with Diligent Robotics adds a complementary pillar to our automation offerings and reinforces our vision to lead change for better care," said Cory Kwarta, president and CEO of Swisslog Healthcare. "Last mile delivery robots reinforce our commitment to innovative solutions and addresses our customers' evolving needs."
Diligent Robotics' Moxi robot, already deployed in more than 25 U.S. hospitals, has completed over one million deliveries, including 300,000 pharmacy deliveries. Swisslog Healthcare said this track record in fast-paced, high-pressure medical environments aligns with its mission to enhance operational efficiency in healthcare settings.
"For our customers who have been asking for reliable, efficient last-mile delivery robots that integrate seamlessly with existing workflows, this cooperative effort with Diligent Robotics allows us to connect them with a proven solution for smarter and safer deliveries that staff and patients trust," said Ray Castro, director of strategic programs for transport automation at Swisslog Healthcare. "This is a complementary offering for both Swisslog Healthcare and TransLogic, a Swisslog Healthcare company."
Castro will lead the coordination efforts between the companies.
Swisslog Healthcare said the partnership will enable the company to offer its hospital and health system partners a turnkey, last-mile autonomous delivery system. The company added that this new partnership complements the pneumatic tube systems designed and installed by TransLogic, a Swisslog Healthcare company, by addressing "last mile" deliveries and transporting items too large for tubes or those hospitals prefer not to put in tubes, such as sensitive samples.
"Together with Swisslog Healthcare, we're setting a new standard for healthcare logistics," said Dr. Andrea Thomaz, co-founder and CEO of Diligent Robotics. "Swisslog Healthcare's unmatched reach, combined with their deep trust and decades of experience in pharmacy automation, makes them the ideal partner to bring our autonomous delivery robots to health systems at scale."
