Derby Kingsway Hospital trials HP Site Print robot

This robot sets out and prints drawings onto the floor slabs, making the process much quicker and more efficient.

Our IHP team at Derby Kingsway hospital has been working on this project for some time, trialling a few prototypes before the launch of the HP Site Print in the UK.

The aim of the project is to improve the layout and design of healthcare facilities, making them more efficient and cost-effective. With the help of this robot, the team hopes to achieve this goal by significantly reducing the time it takes to create floor plans. This is the first time the final product has been used on a construction site globally.

The HP Site Print robot is an exciting development in the construction industry and the trials at Derby Kingsway hospital have shown how it can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of floor plan creation.
