…service, quality, and quick turnaround as they manage the inventory, distribution, and transportation of medical supplies.” BayCare said its unified distribution model has enabled it to maximize purchasing efficiencies and manage supply pipelines, including during the COVID-19 pandemic. Before the adoption of robotics at the distribution center, the order-picking process involved team members pushing carts weighing nearly 300 lb. up and down each aisle, guided by voice technology through headsets. While software already helped make picking routes efficient, the heavy carts limited speed and made the picking process physically taxing for team members, explained Celiberti.
