Give time back
to caregivers.

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.

The manpower challenge

The challenge is not just headcount. It is caregiver capacity.

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.

Keep human care human. Automate the repetitive movement around it.

Workload → fatigue → turnover

When workload rises, fatigue and turnover pressure follow.

Fatigue is not the only reason caregivers leave. But repetitive logistics adds physical and mental load on top of already demanding shift work.

01

Manpower gap

Fewer hands are available across each shift.

02

Heavier shifts

Care work and logistics compete for the same time.

03

Fatigue builds

Extra walking and repetitive errands accumulate.

04

Turnover & retraining

The remaining team absorbs the gap while new staff ramp up.

Estimated per caregiver replacement, excluding recruitment agencies, permit costs and formal course fees.

Broader support-care context11.5%

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 solution

Autonomous delivery inside the care workflow.

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.

Autonomous mobilityRoute planning, obstacle avoidance and building-aware navigation.
Cross-floor operationElevator integration where supported by the building environment.
Auto-dockingReturns to charge so the robot can stay ready for the next route.
Onboard ice + waterAdds hydration and resident-service capability beyond standard delivery robots.

Everyday use cases

The routes KB6 can take over.

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.

Meals & snacks

Pantry or kitchen to resident wings, lounges or service points.

Drinks & hydration

Ice, water and simple beverage support without repeated collection runs.

Linen & towels

Scheduled movement between stores, utility areas and care zones.

Consumables & PPE

Routine restocking of gloves, masks, wipes and other approved items.

Documents & items

Internal administrative movement and resident items subject to facility SOPs.

Resident-facing service

Bring the service to the resident while staff remain available for care and assistance.

Manpower impact

Turn repetitive movement into measurable care capacity.

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.

Important: 30–60 minutes per caregiver per shift is a working pilot hypothesis, not a national benchmark. The correct number should be measured from the facility’s real routes before and during deployment.
Pilot framework

Start with one practical route. Measure the manpower impact.

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.

01 · BASELINE

Count the current work

Trips per day, round-trip time, staff involved and peak periods.

02 · MAP

Define the route

Load points, delivery points, charging, doors and lift requirements.

03 · RUN

Operate in real shifts

Track missions, completion rate, exceptions and minutes of walking avoided.

04 · PROVE

Report staff-hours returned

Translate robot activity into a clear manpower and care-capacity outcome.

Pilot headline: “KB6 completed X internal trips and returned an estimated Y caregiver-hours per month back to resident-facing care.”
The care-first principle

Less walking. More caring.

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.

HUMAN → HUMAN

Keep with caregivers

Resident assistance, mobility, feeding support, observation, conversation and emotional care.

OBJECT → DESTINATION

Automate where practical

Routine movement of approved items between predictable internal service points.

Core outcomeCaregiver time,
returned.

Measure trips avoided. Measure minutes released. Measure the capacity returned to residents.
