| Popis: | International audience; In hospitals, decontamination centers are required to sort, disinfect, package, and sterilize surgical instruments prior to their return to the operating rooms. The market trend is to automate this function to increase the level of productivity, reduce the risk of human error and minimize the risk of musculoskeletal injuries related to the handling of heavy loads. The goal of this research is to study the automation of a decontamination center and the use of automated guided vehicles (AGV) to make the system more efficient and safer. A simulation model of the current system with manual transfers is compared with a scenario using two AGVs for instrument transfers. Results show that this automation of the decontamination unit could lead to the reduction of both treatment time and work in process while increasing the service level. It is worth mentioning that this article contributes to the field of using simulation and system analysis to evaluate and facilitate healthcare systems adaptation based on the Industry 4.0 concepts and its role to improve process flows and ergonomic conditions for employees. |
