The Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) currently has 450 beds, with plans to grow to 738 beds by 2021. The Lamson Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) system, Transcar, automatically transports meals, laundry, waste and supplies throughout the hospital. Sixteen Transcar vehicles make more than 900 journeys every day to transport ~500 trolleys to 124 drop-off stations around the hospital. The AGVs can transport up to 500kg and travel along 2.3 kilometres of pre-determined track.

Automated transport of goods reduces injury to hospital staff, and wear and tear on hospital infrastructure. It also enables just-in-time delivery and full transparency and control of the delivery processes. This frees hospital staff to concentrate on patient care and higher-skilled activities. Lamson Concepts supplies a range of autonomous solutions for use in hospitals.
