Show Notes

Podcast Summary 

In this Automate This podcast episode, I speak with Brandon Langdon, who is an industry expert on the use of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) in hospitals. We discuss how these technologies have the potential to improve patient care and reduce workload for staff members. However, it's important to get hospital staff on board with using these technologies to ensure their effective implementation. We discuss the importance of involving staff members in the selection and implementation process, providing adequate training and support, and addressing common concerns about using these technologies. We also talked about how hospitals can measure the effectiveness of AGVs and AMRs in improving hospital operations. Overall, with the right approach, hospitals can successfully implement these innovative technologies to improve patient care and hospital operations.
