Industry solution

Healthcare & Elderly Care

Give care staff the time they spend in corridors back to patients. W3 travels between floors by elevator, carrying material in closed compartments, while BirfenBot supports the team with service and meal distribution.

01On-site challenges

On-site challenges

The transport and operations problems we meet most often on sites in this industry.

  • Nurses and care staff spend part of every shift in corridors, carrying materials and samples.
  • In multi-storey buildings, every delivery means waiting for the elevator and walking between floors.
  • Reducing contact points means reducing the number of transport steps and hand-overs.
  • On night shifts, keeping routine distribution going with limited staff gets harder.

02The Birfen solution

The Birfen solution

How we configure the robots and software around your site.

  • W3 moves between floors on its own through IoT elevator integration.
  • Four independent compartments with automatic doors and ventilation carry material in closed, separate sections, delivering to several points in one trip.
  • BirfenBot supports staff with meal and service distribution using its four-tier carrying frame.
  • The robot takes over routine transport; clinical decisions and all work involving patient contact stay with your team.

04Outcomes

Outcomes

The operational effects we expect from a well-configured deployment.

  1. Care staff spend more time with patients instead of on routine transport.

  2. Deliveries between floors are made on schedule, without the burden of waiting for elevators and walking.

  3. Material travels in closed compartments, with fewer hand-over steps.

05Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

What buyers ask most often before deciding.

Can the robots be used to carry medication?
W3's closed, separate compartments are suitable for carrying items such as supplies and medication. Because medication distribution follows your institution's procedures, we define with you which items the robot carries and how hand-over works.
Can the robot use the elevator on its own?
W3 moves between floors by communicating with the elevator through an IoT-based integration. We assess whether your existing elevators are suitable for integration during the site survey.
How does it work in corridors busy with patients and visitors?
We plan the corridors, times and waiting points the robots use around your facility's flow, together with you. That way busy areas and emergency routes can be kept off the robot's path.

Let's look at your site together.

In a free site survey we review your transport points, routes and existing systems, then recommend the right robot and software setup.
