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)
Order-picking cart transport in multi-level fulfillment centers (TTI case study: 5 units moving 250 kg shelves autonomously across distribution centers).
Both are credible picks. Decide on cost and supplier proximity, not capability — the gap is small.
