Automating hospital logistics with mobile robots
Efficient healthcare logistics are essential to delivering consistent, high-quality patient care. In hospitals around the world, staff often spend significant time on non-clinical tasks—transporting medications, linens, meals, and waste through crowded corridors.
These repetitive tasks, while necessary, pull focus from core patient responsibilities. That’s where autonomous mobile robots in healthcare come in.
MiR’s hospital delivery robots offer a smarter, safer, and more reliable way to streamline hospital logistics. As part of modern mobile hospital solutions, AMRs help reduce manual workload, enhance infection control, and optimize resource use—making them a valuable tool in the future of healthcare robotics.
What are the benefits of implementing AMRs in the hospital and healthcare sector?
Enhanced Patient Safety
AMRs minimize the risk of cross-contamination by reducing human contact during the transport of medications, lab samples, and sterile equipment.
Greater Staff Efficiency
By taking over repetitive, time-consuming transport tasks, AMRs enable healthcare workers to focus on clinical care.
Improved Ergonomics and Workplace Safety
AMRs handle heavy or awkward loads, reducing physical strain on hospital staff. This contributes to a safer work environment and fewer workplace injuries.
Faster and Reliable Deliveries
Whether transporting chemotherapy drugs, lab samples, or sterile kits, AMRs ensure timely, trackable delivery.
Cost Efficiency and Scalability
With quick ROI and seamless integration into existing workflows, AMRs provide scalable mobile hospital solutions.

Innovation from industry, benefiting hospitals
When MiR was founded, the vision was clear: develop autonomous mobile robots to transform hospital logistics. Hospitals faced rising pressure to do more with less—demanding flexible, reliable solutions to ease the burden on healthcare staff.
As the technology evolved, MiR robots quickly proved their value in industrial environments. Around the world, companies adopted them to optimize workflows, handle complex logistics, and improve safety. Their success in industry has only sharpened their relevance for the healthcare sector.
Typical workflows at Hospitals
Integrating autonomous mobile robots in hospitals opens the door to safer, smarter, and more efficient operations. MiR AMRs support key hospital logistics tasks such as delivering sterile instruments, transporting medications, moving linens and meals, and handling clinical waste—all without disrupting critical care environments.
These automated workflows reduce manual handling, minimize the risk of cross-contamination, and free up staff to focus on patient-centered tasks. The result? Improved healthcare logistics, increased staff satisfaction, and enhanced patient safety.
While hospitals may face challenges related to cost, IT integration, or change management, the long-term value is clear. MiR’s healthcare robotics solutions are scalable, flexible, and designed to fit into existing infrastructures with minimal disruption.
By adopting AMRs, hospitals can modernize everyday workflows and lay the foundation for a more responsive, efficient healthcare delivery system.

Why use AMRs at hospitals?
One of the greatest benefits of autonomous mobile robots in hospitals is their ability to eliminate non-value-adding tasks that pull healthcare professionals away from patient care.
Studies show that up to 30% of hospital operating costs are tied to logistics—and staff may spend as much as 20% of their time on transport-related duties. MiR’s AMRs help address this by automating internal deliveries, allowing clinical staff to focus on what matters most: the patient.
By integrating AMRs into hospital logistics, hospitals can:
Free up healthcare workers for patient-centered care
Ensure faster, more accurate delivery of critical items
Reduce physical strain and improve staff ergonomics
Designed for continuous operation, MiR AMRs run 24/7—including during peak hours and night shifts—ensuring reliable, efficient support for hospital operations. As part of modern healthcare robotics, they help create safer, more sustainable workflows.
