From Kitchenless Meals to Robot Couriers: The Next Big Leap in Korean Healthcare
South Korea’s healthcare sector is currently undergoing a period of significant disruption, driven by a nationwide doctors’ strike and a recent change in government leadership. These developments have led to delays in several public hospital projects, including the national smart hospital initiatives. With the new administration now in place, there is growing hope that such uncertainties will soon be resolved, allowing businesses to move forward with clear and stable planning.
Amid this shifting landscape, Myung Se CMK (MSCMK) is introducing transformative solutions designed to address the country’s mounting healthcare challenges. Their latest meal trolley innovation is EMOS Regen — a next-generation Cook-Chill conduction trolley designed to help hospitals address growing workforce challenges caused by an aging population, declining birth rates, and rising labor costs.
A New Standard for Kitchenless Hospitals
Built for the emerging model of “kitchenless” hospitals — where meals are prepared off-site by catering partners — the EMOS Regen enables cold meals to be delivered and then safely reheated on-site. Its direct conduction heating ensures each tray is warmed evenly from the bottom, without burning or drying out food. The result? Consistent, high-quality meals that boost patient satisfaction while reducing waste.
The trolley also features a built-in motorized drive, easing the physical burden on hospital staff and making meal delivery safer and more ergonomic — especially important in aging hospitals where overworked staff are stretched thin. While this Cook-Chill model is already a standard practice in many advanced healthcare systems overseas, South Korea is only beginning to explore its adoption.
Enter the Robot: OTSAW’s Transcar
But innovation doesn’t stop there. To push hospital efficiency even further, EMOS Regen is fully compatible with autonomous logistics robots like OTSAW’s Transcar.
Transcar is not your average delivery cart. It’s a heavy-duty autonomous mobile robot (AMR) designed specifically for healthcare environments, capable of transporting up to 500kg of essential goods — including EMOS Regen trolleys — safely and efficiently across hospital floors.
One Solution, Many Wins
And here’s where things get even more powerful: MSCMK is the authorised distributor of OTSAW’s Transcar in South Korea. This partnership offers hospitals a fully integrated solution — one that automates meal transport, reduces human error, and gives back precious time to frontline staff.
At a time when many hospitals are being forced to do more with less, this collaboration between MSCMK and OTSAW offers a smart, scalable way forward. It’s not just about automating logistics — it’s about reclaiming the time, energy, and resources hospitals need to focus on what truly matters: patient care.
