Problem the AI is intended to solve

New system control software realizes Free Axis Simultaneous Travel (FAST) in up to 6 axes at the same time, supported by 8 individual motors. This feature, along with the AIM (Artificial Intelligence Mapping) feature, is designed to calculate the shortest, fastest and safest path from one position to the next in a safe and efficient way. These features are present in the predicate Ysio, but improvements in the software performance allow for simultaneous movements in multiple axes in the subject device. This increases workflow efficiency in positioning the equipment for different examinations.

Expected benefits

Increases workflow efficiency in positioning the equipment for different examinations.

System outputs

Calculates paths for changing radiographic equipment position.
