Introduction

Vestre Viken is a Norwegian HealthCare provider consisting of:

• 8 Clinics
• 4 General hospitals
• 17 Ambulance stations
• Multiple mental health and substance

abuse treatment facilities

• 9,500 Employees

Drammen hospital

The largest of Vestre Viken facility locate in Drammen, Norway, servicing over 160 000 inhabitants. Area functions within: Neurology, Pediatrics, Cardiology, and much more

Vestre Viken has chosen Altran Norway AS in partnership with Mektron AS for the POC development of an Automatic Logistics System for the Drammen Hospital

Vision

Creation of a adaptive system of self-organizing Mobile Industrial robots. self-organized systems",

• find the best solution for their problems "without intervention".
• The main feature, is flexibility, since a multi-agent system can be added

to, modified and reconstructed, without the need for detailed rewriting of the application

• Complex events managed by simple rules
• Mimicking swarm intelligence in nature

4

Inspired by Nature

5

The Robotic technology

6

Autonomous Systems able to:  Sense - feel human touch and watch  Manipulate – able to grip  Move – can walk, climb, and fly  Control – through perception (Sense), processing, and action (Manipulate)

7

• Combining robotics with an Internet connection adds an

enormous source of information for robots to determine a best course of action

• Enable robots to communicate and share data among

themselves

• Remote task delegation to robots

If IoT is extended ears, nose and eyes, the IoT-enabled Robots will be extended brain, legs and arms

IoT and Robotics cross enablement

Application Scenarios:

8

• Collaborative Robots in Warehousing and Manufacturing e.g.,

Packaging and Quality inspection

• Robots for in-door Logistics e.g., in hospitals,

manufacturing,warehousing

• Autonomous mobile robots: e.g., Google’s self-driving cars,

Logistics robots

• Cloud Medical Robots e.g., assistive robots for patients
• Minning and Agriculture e.g., drones for farms, drilling robots etc

Value Proposition

• Increase delivery efficiency
• Reducing operating costs
• Collect and track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
• Real time tracking (equipment, goods, assets, etc.)
• Shift IT costs to a service based model
• Provide 24h delivery services
• Improve supply chain security

Objectives

Develop an autonomous logistic delivery solution for packages and goods between two hospital buildings using a mobile industrial robot Requirements

• Completely autonomous delivery
• Real time data logging and

visualization via online service Challenges

• Automatic route definition
• Automatic door opening
• Automatic lift calling, boarding, and

exiting

• Obstacles avoidance
• Dynamic environment

Demonstration – March 30th

Altran Norway successfully demonstrated the POC for the Vestre Viken management board and Norwegian Healthcare officers

Next Steps:

POC POC workshop (scheduled April 11th) POC 2 (4 robots, more floors) POC 2 workshop Define next steps

VestreViken Hospitals Extensive deployment

Future applications-innovation to be delivered
