Why automate healthcare facilities with Modula?
Hospitals, private outpatient clinics, and nursing homes all have one main objective: they must guarantee very high standards of hygiene, with regards not only to the facilities, but also to the surgical instruments and equipment used.
In this sector the safety of stored material is very important, and it is here that Modula vertical automatic storage systems play a decisive role, averting possible risks such as:
- Contamination
- Degeneration
- High temperatures
- Tampering
- Theft
- Dust
- Expiry of medicines
- Light and heat sources
With vertical automatic storage systems, the products inside the vertical structures are protected from dust, external agents, light and heat sources.
The stored items are also safe from theft and damage, in fact, every withdrawal and picking action can be managed through specific logins. In this way, access to individual trays can also be denied to users without specific credentials.
With the Modula WMS software it is possible to keep track of all inbound and outbound items, facilitating greater inventory control.
A Modula customized configuration for the Xi’An International Medical Center in China
The Xi’An International Medical Center, located in the Hi-Tech Development Zone of Xi’An, officially began operating in July 2019.
They installed a Modula MA25 vertical storage system between the sterilization department supply room and the operating room to manage surgical instruments.
