TUG Rolls into Latrobe Hospital
July 24, 2007
Excela Health Latrobe hospital recently implemented its first robotic transportation system, Aethon's TUG, to help lighten the load of hospital staff. The robot's job is to deliver medical supplies throughout the hospital without the help of a human. At $1500/month to lease TUG, the robot represents a significant savings for the hospital, and fills a vacancy that Excela could not fill. Use of Aethon TUGs in hospitals has grown exponentially in the past year as hospitals recognize the efficiencies of using robotic transporation instead of human couriers.
