Problem
Hospitals face chronic staff shortages and rising labor costs, while many routine transport and cleaning tasks remain manual, leading to inefficiencies and increased workload for clinical personnel.
Solution
Elvio offers a turnkey automation platform that integrates autonomous transport and floor‑cleaning robots from multiple manufacturers with existing hospital infrastructure such as elevators, doors, and IT systems. A central control software orchestrates heterogeneous robot fleets, providing real‑time task scheduling, monitoring, and analytics. The system connects to hospital information systems (KIS, logistics) and uses the building’s Wi‑Fi to coordinate robot movements 24/7 without human intervention. By automating repetitive logistics and cleaning processes, the platform reduces staff workload, lowers operating expenses, and frees caregivers to focus on patient care.
Target Audience
Primary customers are medium to large hospitals (typically ≥200 beds) that have recurring internal logistics and cleaning workflows and possess basic digital infrastructure such as Wi‑Fi and retrofit‑compatible elevators.
Features
- Manufacturer‑agnostic fleet orchestration that unifies robots from different vendors under a single control layer
- Integration modules for elevators, door access controls, and hospital IT systems (KIS, logistics) to enable seamless operation within existing infrastructure
- Three scalable hardware modules: small item transport, container/kart transport, and autonomous floor cleaning
- Real‑time telemetry and KPI dashboards for monitoring robot utilization, task completion, and cost savings
- Compliance and safety features including security, audit trails, and EU‑hosted data storage with ISO 27001 certification
- Flexible service model with a single point of contact, unified SLA, and pay‑per‑robot operating costs
