Automatic delivery solutions for hospitals suffered from a common problem. High-cost technology. Expensive laser and inertial guidance systems were used to position, orient and navigate the machines.

This meant that labor and cost savings were wiped out by the cost of the technology.

A proven, practical approach to automated navigation has been around for about five years. And now, for the first time, it promises to dramatically

reduce the cost that hospitals incur in moving supplies and equipment, once and for all.

The superiority of the Tug is based on rugged, high tech components. The wheels, for example, are made from the same material as in-line skate wheels.

The result is an efficient, practical concept from Aethon that delivers real world benefits in a rugged, compact package. The Tug.
