Oppent, a leading automation and mobile robotics company based in Ornago, Brianza, is set to make a significant impact in the North American healthcare sector with a groundbreaking new contract. The company will deliver over 200 mobile robots designed to streamline internal logistics in hospitals across the United States. This major order is valued at nearly €30 million and includes both the robots themselves and additional services related to operational efficiency and control systems.
The mobile robots provided by Oppent will be deployed at two prominent medical institutions: the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio, and the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, Indiana. These robots are intended to enhance the movement of materials and goods within these hospitals, such as meals and linen replacements, thereby improving operational workflows and reducing manual handling.
In recent years, Oppent has experienced substantial growth, more than doubling its order portfolio from €30 million to €66 million. The company anticipates ending 2024 with a production value nearing €30 million. This impressive expansion underscores Oppent’s success in leveraging its innovative robotics solutions across diverse industrial sectors.
The company’s mobile robots are not only transforming healthcare facilities but are also making waves in various industrial applications. Oppent’s robotics technology is increasingly sought after by manufacturing sectors, including food processing, automotive, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals. One notable example of Oppent’s versatility is the deployment of seven of its robots at Airbus Helicopters’ Marignane facility in Marseille, where they handle heavy loads like helicopter rotors weighing up to 2.5 tons.
Currently, Oppent has over 20 active contracts worldwide, reflecting its growing international footprint and the rising demand for its advanced automation solutions. The company’s focus on innovation and adaptability continues to drive its success across various industrial landscapes.
As Oppent advances its mission to modernize industrial and healthcare operations with cutting-edge robotics, it reaffirms its commitment to enhancing operational efficiency and setting new standards in the global automation sector.
