[Distributed by: Mizuho Co., Ltd.][Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) System]
This AGV system travels on the magnetic tapes affixed to the corridors between the stations, and automatically carries special-purpose containers, and transports instruments and wastes after surgical operations.
This system provides automated transport services of surgical instruments , which previously required huge manpower, thus alleviating the burden on the staff and improving service efficiency.
Features
There are no drive units at the stations and all the operations are controlled and conducted on the AGV side.
