Robotics in nursing care economic evaluation, before you invest.
A practical decision-making guide on fields of application, costs, staff relief, technical requirements and introduction of autonomous service, transport and cleaning robots in care facilities.
- Identify suitable fields of application and processes
- Compare the economics of buying, renting and RaaS
- Prepare piloting and rollout in a structured manner
Robotics in nursing care
Why this decision is difficult today.
Hospitals and care facilities suffer from staff shortages and high costs. Cleaning, transport services, and transportation consume hours every day that are then unavailable for residents and patients. Illness and staff turnover create gaps that are expensive to fill in the short term.
At the same time, manufacturers' offerings are difficult to compare. Performance, battery life, hygiene requirements, maintenance, and follow-up costs are rarely presented transparently. Anyone who buys without a proper analysis risks purchasing the wrong model for the wrong application, and that's expensive and difficult to rectify.
This guide addresses precisely this point. It presents the key factors in a comprehensible order, so that you know before investing whether and where robotics will pay off for your facility.
Written for decision-makers who need to do the math.
Day Care Manager
Wants to regain staff hours without sacrificing quality of care.
Nursing service management
Seeking relief for the team from non-nursing tasks.
Procurement
A reliable comparison of buying, renting, and RaaS is needed.
Hygiene & Facility
Will keep surfaces safely clean and comply with standards.
Six chapters, one common thread.
- 01Economy. Full cost per personnel hour versus robot operation.
- 02Suitable fields of application and processes. Where a robot can carry weight and where it cannot.
- 03Requirements and limitations. Technical requirements, honestly stated.
- 04Purchase, rental and RaaS. Which model is suitable for which location.
- 05Piloting and rollout. Reliable results in 14 days.
- 06Checklist. Questions for your tender interview.
An excerpt from the guide.
Chapter 01 calculates costs for a medium-sized business. Illustrative example based on documented billing rates (€25 to €45/hour).
| Position | Example value |
|---|---|
| Daily non-care-related tasks | Transport & Cleaning |
| Bound time | 3 hour per day |
| Billing rate | 35 € / h |
| Taken over by the robot | a relevant proportion |
| Time regained | approximately 40 hours per month |
| Equivalent per month | approximately €1.400 |
Key takeaway from Chapter 01: The real benefit rarely lies in the purchase price of the robot, but rather in the time saved by staff and the relief it provides to the care team. The guide calculates exactly that for your specific situation.
SEBOTICS as an integrator, not as a manufacturer.
We select the appropriate model from several manufacturers, set it up, and provide ongoing support during operation. This ensures that our recommendation is based on your specific needs and processes, not on the product range of a single supplier.
Robots from our projects are in real-world operation in the hotel, healthcare, and logistics sectors. We will discuss specific project examples and technology partners in person; customer logos will only be shown with prior approval. The figures in this guide are based on documented billing rates and your own key data, not estimates.
Who created the guide.
Created by SEBOTICS-Robotics team based on experience from real integration projects in the DACH region. SEBOTICS is a Swiss integrator for autonomous cleaning, service and transport robotics.
We don't sell off-the-shelf individual devices, but rather the right solution for your business, from a free savings assessment and pilot project to full rollout. We'll answer any questions about the guide directly; our contact details are below.
