Description

The Rife M104 is purpose-built for the transport of laboratory specimens and operating room materials. It automates the movement of critical items between wards, outpatient clinics, emergency departments, and laboratories, as well as within the operating room ecosystem. The robot is equipped with multi-cabin storage, intelligent route planning, and multi-factor authentication, ensuring secure, timely, and reliable delivery. Its integration with hospital management systems supports closed-loop logistics, full process recording, and compliance with strict healthcare standards.


Detailed Applications

1. Laboratory Specimen Transport

  • Multi-point Recovery:
    Collects specimens from multiple wards, outpatient, and emergency departments, and delivers them efficiently to laboratory departments.

  • Batch & Scheduled Delivery:
    Supports planned, urgent, and batch deliveries, optimizing routes and reducing turnaround times for specimen analysis.

  • Closed-loop Management:
    Every specimen delivery is logged, traceable, and monitored in real time, supporting privacy, compliance, and infection control.

  • Reduction of Cross-Infection Risk:
    Minimizes human contact during specimen transport, reducing the risk of infection for both staff and patients.

2. Operating Room Logistics

  • Pre-operative Material Preparation:
    Delivers sterile instruments, consumables, and supplies to the operating room prior to surgery.

  • Intra-operative Supplies Replenishment:
    Provides timely delivery of additional materials needed during surgical procedures.

  • Post-operative Dirt Recycling:
    Transports contaminated instruments and waste from the operating room to designated decontamination or disposal areas.

3. General Hospital Logistics

  • Bulk Material Transport:
    Moves large quantities of medical materials, consumables, and supplies between various hospital departments.

  • Flexible Scheduling:
    Adapts to hospital workflow changes with multiple scheduling modes and real-time task management.

4. Security and Compliance

  • Strict Materials Control:
    Ensures only authorized personnel can access the robot’s payload using passwords, ID cards, or fingerprints.

  • Full Process Record:
    Every delivery action is logged, ensuring traceability and accountability for sensitive materials.
