Increase Distribution Efficiency and Satisfaction
Nurses and patients rely on the distribution department’s ability to provide supplies and equipment on a scheduled and on-demand basis. Equipment doesn’t have any real value until it’s in the hands of a clinical professional.
Finding the right balance between maintaining adequate inventory and just-in-time delivery can be difficult and expensive. When the balance isn’t achieved, the costs associated with time spent by nursing staff manually retrieving these supplies are significant, and maintaining a reliable, sufficient staff of distribution technicians is a continuous problem for hospitals.
Aethon provides the distribution department with a technology-driven supply delivery and retrieval solution that increases productivity, resulting in better service to departments, more staff time and focus on patient care, and increased return on investment.
With its patented, state-of-the art delivery technology, TUG® can reliably deliver a wide array of supplies and easily navigate through hallways, doorways, elevators, and even narrow aisle ways with human traffic to ensure safe, timely, and accurate delivery. And with a weight capacity of 500 pounds, TUG is truly the central supply workhorse, allowing for an almost unlimited delivery capacity.
