Hospital Bed Automation

Bed Automation

With our bed automation system, we provide an efficient, hygienic, and future-proof solution for managing hospital beds.

An automated linen machine ensures that clean and soiled linens are handled correctly, quickly, and without unnecessary manual transport. The fully automated linen machine helps support the overall patient care process by ensuring that linens are available when needed.

At the same time, heavy lifting and unnecessary manual handling by staff are significantly reduced. The result is a better work environment, greater operational reliability, and improved hygiene.

How does bed automation work?

Bed automation is a fully automated system for the storage, transport, and distribution of hospital beds between hospital floors. The system uses fully automated elevators for clean and soiled beds.

All bed movements are monitored and controlled by the system's software.
This provides:

a complete overview of bed capacity
automatic prioritization during high load
high reliability and consistent quality in handling

The system is designed with few moving parts, which reduces wear and maintenance and ensures reliable, round-the-clock operation.
