Aethon T3 leads on 3 of 7 dimensions — strongest on ROI clarity.
Readiness, uptime, navigation & connectivity
Price accessibility and ROI clarity
Payload, speed, runtime & labor replacement
Environment fit, footprint & long-term upside
300+ bed teaching hospital pharmacy-to-unit delivery during peak hours (morning/noon medication rounds)
Screw-tightening and gear assembly on automotive harnesses in <5 m² cells
Both are credible picks. Decide on cost and supplier proximity, not capability — the gap is small.
