Kitchen Automation
The production kitchen at a hospital is one of the most demanding departments when it comes to manual labor. It takes a lot of effort to feed the many patients and staff. That is precisely why we developed our automation solutions for kitchens.
In fact, we have developed custom-designed, fully automated kitchen systems that can unload carts, clean both the dishes and the carts, store both items afterward, and prepare them for use by staff.
How does it work?
Every kitchen is different, and so are the requirements and design of an automation solution. An automation workflow can involve dirty dishes arriving at the kitchen in carts. The carts are transported to a robot or conveyor belt, which unloads them and sends the trays and dishes onward. All tableware is washed and can then be stored in an automated warehouse, which ensures that the tableware is sent out of the warehouse when it is needed in the kitchen. The carts are also automatically sent for washing and stored in a buffer until employees need them. When carts and tableware are needed, they simply need to be ordered. The system then retrieves the tableware itself and packs it into clean carts.
This saves employees from having to do a lot of manual lifting and from having to search through the warehouse to find what they need. At the same time, they can spend more time on the important tasks: namely, ensuring that patients receive good food.
Customized automation for hospital kitchens
As a provider of automation solutions, we are particularly aware that every kitchen has its own unique layout, with its own set of possibilities and challenges. That is why we never provide one-size-fits-all solutions. Every single one of our systems is developed after thorough preliminary work, during which we work with the customer to identify their individual needs and preferences regarding the features of the final solution.
We have done this for Danish hospitals such as Nyt OUH, OUH, and Rigshospitalet, among others. Each hospital has been provided with a kitchen solution that offers similar functions but looks completely different, as there is a significant difference in the size and capacity of the facilities.
