4. Intelligent Systems
Intelligent Systems are experts in
software development for automated
logistics solutions, e.g. for:
• Baggage handling in airports
• Fully automated warehouse and
distribution centers
• Intelligent logistics for hospitals
Hospital solutions include:
• Automated solutions for central sterile
supply departments (CSSD)
• Intelligent monitoring and automated
handling and sortation of samples via
“The Intelligent Transport Box”
• Intelligent Hospital Logistics (IHL)

7. Intelligent Hospital Logistics
• IHL is a new innovative
solution concept for an
intelligent and fully automated
transport and storage solution
that radically changes internal
supply logistics in the future
hospitals
• IHL works from the users
perspective similar to a
pneumatic tube system, but it
has a much larger transport
capacity, and it has a build-in
decentralized storage capability
that can be used as a virtual
central storage – and it is
intelligent

8. Elements of IHL
• An IHL solution consist the following
elements:
• Transport boxes are used as transport
container. Internal dimensions match ISO/
EURO/DIN standards (60 x 40 x 30 cm).
• Vertical transport and storage –
Qubiqa miniload as lift and storage shaft
• Horizontal transport and storage –
AutoStore grid + mini transport robots
• Systemport – is the front-end access
point to the system from clinical
departments
• Specialized infeed and outfeed
stations at supply centers (back-end
access)
• Intelligent and integrated control
system and mobile user interfaces –
systemport screen, smartphones and
tablets and any device with a modern web
browser like laptops, PC’s, Macs, patient
infotainment system
• Open data exchange and integration
interfaces

11. Supply types supported by IHL

12. Participants & partners
IHL is being
developed in a project
that involves 17
Danish organizations
including 5 hospitals
and 10 private
companies
Nyt Aalborg
Universitetshospital
Syddansk
Sundhedsinnovation

13. Test & demonstration system

14. User-driven and co-creation
• User-centered development in close cooperation with involved
hospitals resulting in services-centered design that can support the
future hospital processes and needs

17. What problems does IHL solve?
• IHL makes supplies available throughout the hospital from any
department when they are needed
• IHL can be used for almost all types of supplies and materials that can fit
in the transport box. This allows one transport and storage system to
be used in stead of several.
• IHL reduces time spent finding, ordering, transporting and handling
supplies by automating logistics – allowing clinical staff to focus on
patients needs and saves personnel resources
• IHL reduces stock by making the complete storage contents accessible
from any connected department allowing supplies to be shared between
departments
• IHL reduces storage space needed by utilizing the full building and
floor high for storage
• IHL reduces waste by providing an always up-to-date inventory of all
stored supplies and allowing older supplies to be used before they reach
their expiration date
• IHL improves working environment due less manual lifting and
handling of supplies
• IHL is reliable, redundant and has robust design that supports
hospital operations and emergency procedures

18. How is IHL different?
• Fast, lean and efficient – speeds that are more than twice that of AGV
transports. Supplies are available within a few seconds or minutes.
• Fully automated and integrated transport and storage that is
available 24/7
• Full traceability by design – history of all movements and operations in
the system are kept allowing analysis and optimization of operations
• Build on existing technology used in industry, applied in a new setup
to fulfill the needs of the future the hospitals
• Unique hygiene concept that prevents spread of infections and
diseases and build to support hospital hygiene standards and best
practices
• Flexible, scalable, modular and extendable – solution can be tailored
to the needs of the hospital and is easy to install and extend. IHL can
even by build into exiting buildings.
• Developed with user and for user (user-centered development) in a
unique public-private cooperation – between public hospitals and private
companies
• Truly intelligent

19. Why should you care?
• IHL business cases indicate return on investment (ROI) of a few years –
this means more health for the money
• IHL’s unique hygiene concept is beyond what is seen in any other
automated transport system – this will reduce infection risks and
spread of diseases at the hospitals
• Higher level of quality and possibility of new patient-orientet
services – faster reaction time, better services and improved patient
care
• Working environment improvements meet new standards
• IHL has raised international attention – and we are looking
international partners
