FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital Finds Value in Tug
May 4, 2006
Two of Aethon's Tugs now roam the halls of FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital in North Carolina, and a third is expected to arrive in the next few months. The Tugs are the only robots of their kind in the state, and they've proven themselves to the staff as valuable assets -- delivering medications all over the hospital. The robots can be tracked on a wall-mounted flat-screen monitor in the pharmacy department. Each receiving department has its own drawer in the file cabinet which can only be unlocked by entering the proper code. The Tugs primarily carry medications, but have the capacity to carry loads up to 400 pounds.
