The ATLIS 3000 is a direct replacement for AMSCAR ATS Systems and to safely navigate unmanned throughout the facility. Once the vehicle arrives
at the pick up location an onboard barcode scanner reads a barcode located
Overhead Monorail Systems on the cart to verify it will be taken to the correct location.

 ATLIS 3000 System Benefits
Return on Investment
The system delivers a quick return on investment by reducing labor
and inventory costs, eliminating time wasted looking for supplies, and
improving efficiency.

Patient Care
Automatic transportation of materials & supplies in the hospital frees
staff, allowing them to spend more time in direct contact with patients
and improve patient care.

Flexibility
System administrators can optimize system response time by staging
vehicles at Dietary before meal delivery, adjusting battery charge times
to allow maximum number of vehicles available for peak usage, using the
Layout Wizard software to adjust vehicle guide paths, and monitoring
the entire ATLIS system using the handheld PC.

Safety
Employees spend less time transporting carts reducing the potential for
work related injuries.

Security
Only authorized personnel using identification cards can access the
ATLIS 3000 system to transport materials. Unauthorized removal of
materials is also monitored through sensors onboard the vehicle.

Accuracy
The right materials are delivered to the right place at the right time. The
system prioritizes material requests in order of importance ensuring
materials always arrive on time. The onboard barcode scanner ensures
the correct loads are transported and prevents material distribution
errors.
