PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA / ACCESS Newswire / September 10, 2025 / ST Engineering Aethon ("Aethon") and Oracle have partnered to deliver an integrated solution that automates and unifies hospital inventory transport and management, creating an intelligent approach to managing supplies that helps hospitals enhance operational efficiency.
Aethon's T3 robot is seen in a hospital preparing to pick up and deliver a cart of goods.
Through integrating Aethon's autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and vision-based logistics control with Oracle Fusion Cloud Advanced Inventory Management which is part of Oracle Cloud Supply Chain & Manufacturing (SCM), hospitals deploying the AMRs can now seamlessly connect material transport with digital inventory and supply chain systems and workflows.
The integration links Oracle's inventory picking process directly to Aethon's AMR and vision system, enabling automatic material pickup and delivery and closes the loop with delivery status updates and final inventory location within the Oracle system for real-time visibility and accuracy.
"This collaboration represents a major advancement in healthcare automation and is part of our ongoing initiative to support robot-ready infrastructure," said Peter Seiff, CEO of ST Engineering Aethon. "It demonstrates that robotic automation has moved beyond standalone systems to become seamlessly integrated into broader enterprise systems. We're proud to collaborate with Oracle on innovation to empower hospitals to operate more efficiently, safely, and with fewer resources."
Kristen Miles, vice president, healthcare product strategy, Oracle, added, "We're excited to deliver this integration to our healthcare customers, marking a new era of automation where real-time data, intelligent robotics, and advanced inventory management work seamlessly together to enhance patient care and drive operational excellence. Built on Oracle Cloud SCM and powered by Oracle Advanced Inventory Management, this solution gives hospitals a unified platform to streamline supply chain processes, maintain accurate inventory, and respond faster to changing demands."
Key features include:
Pre-built integration between Aethon AMRs and Oracle Cloud SCM for streamlined workflow management.
Autonomous mobile robots transport supplies directly to hospital departments.
Vision-based algorithms automatically detect inventory deliveries and trigger logistics workflows.
Real-time inventory visibility within Oracle Cloud SCM for accurate, up-to-date records.
