Hospital AGV's in action for New Royal Adelaide Hospital

Published on Feb 23, 2015


The New Royal Adelaide Hospital is rising quickly (though still some way from resembling the artist's impression ) and by the time the hospital has finished floors, RA Health P/L will be installing the fleet of AGV *'s ready to make deliveries across them (*Automatic Guided Vehicles).

"At over 20 vehicles, this is the largest hospital AGV fleet in Australia & NZ"

The fleet is set to deliver Food & Beverage (hot & cold), Laundry, Pharmaceuticals, Mail, Sterilised Items and other supplies as well as several forms of Waste between the Patient Wards and the Kitchens, Stores and the many other functional areas within the hospital.

Equipment in Focus :
- A fleet of over 20 AGV's.
- Contour/Range-sensing navigation.
- Trolley pick/drop stations with automatic RFID signalling.
- Automatic Park'n'Charge area.
- Central fleet control station with automatic scheduling of RA-GV movements plus elevator & auto-door activation controls.

Benefits include :
- Greater efficiency & traceability.
- Increased safety.
- Reduced costs.
- Less damage to equipment.
- More staff time can be reallocated to direct patient care.

Robotic Automation P/L is the LARGEST Australian supplier of turnkey automation systems. Now celebrating over 25 years and 3,000+ installations across Australia & NZ.

Applications include Palletising, Case-packing, Materials Handling, Welding, Materials Delivery (AGVs), Machine Tending, Spraying, Cutting, Stretch and Shrink Wrapping, and more!

RA also offers full consultation, design, training and maintenance support services.

Networked navigation for mobile robots

Published on Sep 6, 2017


For flexible transport solutions, the IPA experts have developed »Cloud Navigation«. As an example the video shows two mobile, self-navigating systems in a production environment. Since both automated guided vehicles (AGVs), or multiple AGVs in an industrial context, as well as stationary sensors supply their locally-perceived environment data to a central server, the entire fleet benefits from more accurate localization and more efficient cooperative path planning. Intensive algorithmic computations are outsourced to the Virtual Fort Knox. Thus, the AGVs act as »lean clients«, and require less hardware but still retain a high degree of navigation intelligence. Virtual Fort Knox is a federative cloud platform for manufacturing companies.
