Autonomous ice, water and internal logistics support for assisted living centres and nursing homes — designed to reduce repetitive movement and keep care staff closer to residents.
Care teams are hired to care for people. Yet every day, the same team also has to move meals, drinks, linen, supplies, documents and resident items through the facility.
Those tasks are necessary. The question is whether a trained caregiver needs to spend the time physically moving every item from Point A to Point B.
Fatigue is not the only reason caregivers leave. But repetitive logistics adds physical and mental load on top of already demanding shift work.
Fewer hands are available across each shift.
Care work and logistics compete for the same time.
Extra walking and repetitive errands accumulate.
The remaining team absorbs the gap while new staff ramp up.
Estimated per caregiver replacement, excluding recruitment agencies, permit costs and formal course fees.
MOH reported 2024 attrition at entry-level support-care grades in Public Healthcare Institutions. This is sector context, not a nursing-home-specific turnover rate.
KB6 is not positioned as a caregiver replacement. It is an autonomous support layer for repetitive service journeys that do not need a caregiver to physically walk the route.
Start with high-frequency, low-complexity internal routes. The facility retains control over what is transported and which workflows are appropriate under its own SOPs.
Pantry or kitchen to resident wings, lounges or service points.
Ice, water and simple beverage support without repeated collection runs.
Scheduled movement between stores, utility areas and care zones.
Routine restocking of gloves, masks, wipes and other approved items.
Internal administrative movement and resident items subject to facility SOPs.
Bring the service to the resident while staff remain available for care and assistance.
MOH reported that nursing homes using AMRs for food, linen and consumables achieved at least 10% staff-time savings. For KB6, we recommend measuring the impact at route level and converting it into staff-hours returned.
Illustrative only. Replace the assumptions with actual pilot data from the facility.
A strong pilot is not just a demonstration that the robot can move. It establishes a before-and-after manpower baseline the operator can use for a deployment decision.
Trips per day, round-trip time, staff involved and peak periods.
Load points, delivery points, charging, doors and lift requirements.
Track missions, completion rate, exceptions and minutes of walking avoided.
Translate robot activity into a clear manpower and care-capacity outcome.
KB6 is designed to take repetitive logistics out of the human care layer. The objective is not to reduce the importance of caregivers — it is to make their time more valuable.
Resident assistance, mobility, feeding support, observation, conversation and emotional care.
Routine movement of approved items between predictable internal service points.
Measure trips avoided. Measure minutes released. Measure the capacity returned to residents.
We’ll start with a site survey, identify a measurable repetitive workflow and build the pilot around real caregiver movement.
