Smart Healthcare
Every smart hospital solution is tailored to the building structure it is designed for. At the center lies a clear focus on efficiency, patient satisfaction, quality, and compliance. Smart hospitals create added value by systematically addressing the key drivers of every healthcare facility. Smart hospital solutions focus on optimizing cost and energy efficiencies, improving patient outcomes, increasing staff productivity, complying with changing regulations, and implementing campus extensions. This holistic approach turns smart hospital solutions into the answer for mastering the healthcare challenges of today and tomorrow.
Our smart hospital portfolio offeriing ↴
Campus level
Renewable on-site energy generation
Integrating renewable energy solutions on-site (e.g. rooftop photovoltaics) helps lower energy costs and reduce the carbon footprint at the same time
E-charging
Providing EV charging infrastructure on campus can help hospital operators leverage investments in renewable energy assets to generate additional revenues and improve their public image at the same time.
As integrators, we can help you with complete hardware and software systems for eMobility solutions and with charging as a service. EV charging stations can also become part of building management and be efficiently monitored while managing the hospital’s electric fleet
Energy storage and back-up power
Integrating energy storage allows you to lower your energy costs and become less dependent on the utility grid. Energy storage solutions can be used as back-up power to ensure reliable power supply – even in case of an emergency – and to integrate renewable energy
Power management
Power failure during operation is a worst-case scenario for every hospital. Implementing a self-healing grid further increases the reliability of the power supply: An algorithm identifies the location of a fault and reconfigures the affected section to restore the power supply
Smart electrification: We support the entire value chain – from planning, engineering, installation, operation, and continuous optimization. As a result, we are helping to transform everyday energy use, ensuring business resilience, resource efficiency and sustainability – creating an environment that cares. In this way, the performance and energy efficiency of systems can be increased sustainably across a broad spectrum from switchgear, switchboards, distribution systems and busbar trunking systems, protection and power quality devices, switching and measuring devices, industrial switching and control technology all the way to electrical installation devices with related software & hardware
Building level
Building efficiency
The building management platform offers facility managers valuable insights on consumption that optimizes consumption and reduces energy costs
Building Management System (BMS)
Supports the integration of one or all disciplinary systems into one central platform and allows buildings to adapt to any present or future requirements – from the integration of IoT devices to the incorporation of electric vehicle charging stations
Smoke & Fire detection and alarming systems
A fully coordinated portfolio of protection devices ensures that fires & leaks are detected as early as possible, false alarms are avoided and, in case of an emergency, evacuation proceeds in an orderly fashion and extinguishing is tailored to the requirements of each room and the water alimentation is automatically closed
Security
Video surveillance, access control, anti-burglary systems
Alarming & evacuation
Whether for a single building or a large campus, mass notification an integrated building management platform that makes sure that the right people get the right message at the right time to avoid panic and to enable fast, reliable, and orderly evacuation in case of an incident
Cybersecurity
Helps hospitals stay secure in the age of digitalization with a 24/7 help desk, certified products as per ISO 27001, continuous OT network monitoring and reporting as well as periodic risk assessment
Real-time location services
Used for asset tracking, it helps staff members find equipment faster, use it more efficiently, and decrease the number of lost assets. Used for patient flow optimization and wayfinding, RTLS can reduce waiting times, increase patient throughput, and enable visitors to easily find their way around large healthcare facilities
Space utilization
IoT-based multi-sensors provide hospital managers with information about which rooms are booked but unused, which spaces are not used, and when peak times in waiting rooms occur
Twin building
The Building Twin serves as the backbone of a smart building. It combines static information such as floor plans and BIM models with dynamic data from building systems, sensors or location data. As a digital replica of the hospital, it serves as an indispensable enabler for smart hospital applications to analyze performance, optimize processes and improve quality of care
Room Level
Operating room
Dashboards with integrated lighting and HVAC controls support customized presets for different surgeons and different procedures on easy-to-use touchscreens. When not in use, the building management system can put the room in “standby mode” by reducing ventilation, thus decreasing energy consumption
Patient room
Smart hospitals use patient terminals or tablets to provide information, entertainment and process optimization. Giving patients control over the room settings (temperature, lighting and shading(=) is one of the top 5 measures for improving patient satisfaction.
In addition, it saves valuable time for staff. Implementing human-centric lighting can improve the patient experience even further: it increases comfort and accelerates the recovery by providing natural lighting that follows the course of the day
Pressurized room
Perfect protection for immunocomprised patients through ASAtechnology (Advanced Signal Analysis) detectors
Laboratory
High-quality solutions that ensure pressure differences while using a minimal amount of energy. This results in considerable energy savings throughout the lifecycle of the facility
Security
Access control and video surveillance help to ensure that only authorized staff can enter designated areas such as laboratories, operating rooms, or storage areas for controlled drugs, thus keeping the facility secure.
Fire safety
Digitally connected detectors ensure that fires are detected as early as possible. Thanks to detectors equipped with ASAtechnology, deceptive phenomena (e.g. exhaust gases or fumes from cooking) do not cause false alarms, thus preventing costly business interruptions and panic. Since the fire panels are connected to the building management platform, the status of the detectors can be checked and the source of a possible fire can be located reliably, which makes it possible to take action quickly.
