3 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 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

4 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

5 5 Inspired by Nature

6 The Robotic technology 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) 6

7 IoT and Robotics cross enablement 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 7

8 Application Scenarios: 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 8

9 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

10 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 Start Warehouse Building Destination 5th Floor Hospital Building

11 System Architecture MIR Robot WiFi - 4G Hotspot Gateway Azure Storage Account Control Center running an Azure client Power BI Bluetooth Relays module Elevator notification Dashboard Automatic Doors

12 Mobile Industrial Robot MiR100 MiR100 drives and independently in environments with people and obstacles using its (2) laser scanners, (1) 3D camera, and Multiple Maps Files System Specs Running ROS - Robotic Operating System Embedded WiFi router Local Web Server Bluetooth Smart enabled Serial Interface and REST API available Electro-Mechanical Specs Loading area 600 x 800 mm Loading capacity up to 100 Kg. Towing capacity up to 300 Kg Operating time of hours Changing time 4-6 hours Maximum speed of 5,4 km/hour

13 Bluetooth Relay Box Bluetooth Smart Module 1. Schindler Elevator Relay switches connected in parallel to: Elevator calling button Go to xthh floor button 2. Automatic Door Relay switch connected in parallel to: Door open/close switch System Specs 4 programmable output relays 1 analog/digital input Proprietary BLE Service/Profile 10+ meters range Debugging via serial interface Configuration via MIR Web interface Mission configuration Mission Exit warehouse Go to Elev3 Go to xth floor and destination Actions Move to door1 open door pass the door close door compute path to elevator 3 move to elevator3 front move to elevator3 front call elevator enter elevator go to 5th floor call switch map go to delivery point

14 Data Collection and Processing Control Center Azure Storage Account Azure client Visual Studio C# Application Library: Windows Azure Storage Collect data from robot via available Rest API Create tables and insert entities into Azure Table Storage Azure Table Storage Store structured data in the cloud Power BI o Import data from the cloud based Azure Table Storage o Shape and model data in Power BI Desktop o Present dashboard/reports with visualizations of KPIs, positions, etc. notification

15 15 1. Real Time Analytics

16 Demonstration March 30th Altran Norway successfully demonstrated the POC for the Vestre Viken management board and Norwegian Healthcare officers

17 Next Steps: POC POC workshop (scheduled April 11th) POC 2 (4 robots, more floors) POC 2 workshop Define next steps VestreViken Hospitals Extensive deployment

18 Future applications-innovation to be delivered Self ordering cabinets in wards and warehouse Cognitive layer for ordering of supplies Integrating with 3 rd party logistics vendors Asset tracking and localisation Theft protection Smart operating rooms 18
