Health logistics, let's take a look ?
IN OUR IDEA STRATEGIC PLAN, WE ANNOUNCED THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERAL DIVERSIFICATION PROJECTS, INCLUDING ONE FOR A HEALTHCARE LOGISTICS OFFERING. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF WORK, WE INTERVIEWED NICOLAS GUILLERET, THE LEAD OF THIS HEALTHCARE LOGISTICS OFFERING.
WHERE DID THE IDEA TO ENTER THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR COME FROM ?
During the COVID crisis, we met with ARS teams to discuss their equipment management challenges. These discussions confirmed that the best practices from the industrial world coulb be adapted and applied in the hospital environment with few adjustements.
Following this, we spent 18 months immersing ourselves in various hospital sctructures to identify the innovative solutions we could provide to this sector.
WHO IS THIS OFFER FOR AND WHAT TYPES OF SERVICES DOES IT COVER ?
This offering is aimed at all healthcare facilities, whether private or public, and covers all equipment flows whithin the facilities.
An initial offer has been formalised around our pilliars which include warehousing, distribution and last-mile logistics.
In concrete terms, we propose to manage flows by integrating digital and robotic innovations. At the same time, we offer to execute logistics tasks such as reception, stocking, picking, transfer, and storage in the services. Our ambition is to enable healthcare facilities to relieve healthcare personnel from logistics tasks, improve working conditions and free up hospital space.
WHAT IS THE DEPLOYMENT SCHEDULE ?
A contract was signed earlier this year, to start a pilot activity within the operating rooms of large French clinic. In parallel, we have identified complementary services with several healthcare facilities that will allow them to focus on their core missions : healthcare.
