TUG®: The Automated Robotic Delivery System
Aethon provides innovative robotic delivery solutions that allow hospitals to reallocate and refocus their resources on the activities that matter most – patient care.
TUG, Aethon's Automated Robotic Delivery System (ARD), can transport "scheduled" and "on-demand" deliveries of all bulk material, medications, and meals between all ancillary, support, and patient care units. TUG can be summoned with the press of a computer key, and is the only unescorted vehicle system that can reliably negotiate through hallways, elevators, automatic doors, and narrow aisle-ways with human traffic. With its patented navigation system, TUG does not require embedded wires, magnetic strips, tracks or chemically-applied path routes, unlike Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV's) primarily used in warehouse applications.
TUG's are now the proven ARD technology used in more than one hundred hospitals nationwide.
