Autonomous robots in healthcare have been assisting in warehouse operations to ensure business continuity, mitigate labor-related challenges, plan for future growth, and ensure on-time shipping. When used in healthcare autonomous mobile robots ensure perfect accuracy, so the right products get to the right patients on-time. Real-time data identifies when volumes are rising so the solution can be modified to meet changes in demand. This flexibility in the automation solution allows to easily scale up to meet an increase in demand.

Autonomous Robots in Healthcare: On-time Fulfillment & Business Continuity
In the beginning of 2020, supply chain for Healthcare and Med Device organizations experienced a tremendous strain from drastic demand fluctuations, leading to an unforeseen disruption in the workforce. As elective surgeries started to resume by Mid 2020, companies struggled with business continuity because the labor market couldn’t keep up. With yet another wave being anticipated by analysts, how do organizations ensure that their supply chain ecosystem is robust enough to handle the changes?
