摘要

Abstract

Objective

This study aimed to address the low efficiency of sterile item storage management in the Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) and to construct and validate the actual performance of a dual-robot collaborative scheduling system.

Methods

A system integrating automated storage equipment and an intelligent scheduling algorithm was developed. A randomized controlled experiment was conducted to compare the time consumed to complete outbound and inbound tasks between a single-robot mode and a dual-robot mode.

Results

The dual-robot collaborative strategy significantly improved operational efficiency. Under the single inbound port configuration

outbound efficiency increased by 21.8% and inbound efficiency by 10.1%. Under the dual inbound port configuration

inbound efficiency rose by as much as 43.5%. The inbound/outbound port was identified as a critical bottleneck affecting system performance.

Conclusion

Dual-robot collaborative scheduling effectively enhances storage efficiency when combined with the optimization of key nodes

and has the potential for widespread adoption in similar hospital settings.
