Dr. Christian Baur, COO, Swisslog HealthcareThe company supports medication and med/surg supply chain management in a CSC through a portfolio of innovative solutions which include inventory and warehouse management software, robotic packaging and dispensing systems as well as automated goods-to-person storage solutions. Within a hospital, automated solutions comprising pneumatic tube systems and autonomous service robots assist in movement and distribution of materials like medications, blood samples, and hazardous materials across the hospital. This results in enhanced workflow processes and improved turnaround times. Staff can now spend more time with patients, focusing on better care delivery.
We understand the pain points of medication supply chain management when it comes to costs, flexibility, and quality, and accordingly develop our solutions
“Fully automated goods storage, retrieval, and delivery create system-wide connectivity, giving better visibility into the value and location of inventory,” explains Sonderegger. They also handle incoming and outgoing orders of medications with KLAS-leading inventory management software, accurately managing drug inventory, decreasing carrying costs, and reducing waste to improve the operational health of the pharmacy, ultimately ensuring that the right drug reaches the right patient. Swisslog Healthcare solutions easily interface with automation and third-party software, thereby connecting the supply chain to patient delivery.
Moving ahead, Sonderegger states that the company’s long-standing success, constant growth, and ability to provide best-in-class solutions is driven by their decades of deep domain expertise and highly-dedicated workforce. “We believe we are the leading company in the healthcare landscape that has strong core competence and are familiar with the know-how around supply chain, warehouse management, and logistics,” he expresses. “We understand the pain points of supply chain management when it comes to costs, flexibility, and quality, and accordingly develop our solutions.”
Since 2015, Swisslog Healthcare has been a member of the KUKA Group, a leading global supplier of intelligent automation solutions. “This strong strategic partnership strengthens our position as a leading innovator,” adds Sonderegger. Swisslog also has a strong global footprint that spans the U.S., European, Chinese, and Asian markets. Forging ahead, Swisslog Healthcare plans on introducing new software to enhance its supply chain automation. They are also working on launching service robots that will navigate hallways and elevators around the clock, delivering medications, lab samples, and other critical items. “We have also invested in companies like PipelineRx and are collectively working on creating solutions that drive medication adherence,” winds up Sonderegger.
