Smart Tracking of Hospital Roller Cages at Noordwest Ziekenhuisgroep with Blyott
Discover how Noordwest Ziekenhuisgroep improved hospital logistics by tracking roller cages with BLE sensors from Blyott. A smart IoT solution for real-time asset visibility and workflow automation.
At Noordwest Ziekenhuisgroep (NWZ), efficient internal logistics are vital to ensuring high-quality patient care. A key part of this process is using roller cages. They help move supplies, medication, and equipment between hospital departments.
However, tracking the location and status of these cages used to involve time-consuming manual scans. Next to that, staff had no real-time visibility into the roller cages.
To overcome these challenges, NWZ partnered with Blyott to introduce an automated system using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensors. This upgrade has brought real-time location tracking and logistics automation in hospitals into the heart of NWZ’s operations.
From manual scanning to smart asset tracking
Before using Blyott’s BLE asset tracking technology, hospital staff had to scan roller cages by hand at each point. This not only slowed down workflows but also introduced the risk of scanning errors and lost equipment.
Now, every roller cage has BLE tracking sensor attached. This sensor automatically records its position as it moves around the hospital. Data goes directly into the iARTA logistics platform, triggering delivery confirmations or restock requests automatically—supporting hospital workflow automation and reducing staff workload.
Benefits of BLE-enabled roller cage tracking
By digitizing roller cage tracking with BLE IoT sensors, NWZ has unlocked several measurable benefits:
Reduction in manual scanning: Less human error and more time for clinical duties
Full location visibility: Real-time tracking of hospital logistics assets
Optimised replenishment workflows: Accurate, automated restocking based on location data
Improved efficiency: Staff can prioritize patient-facing work over logistics
Seamless workflow integration
The BLE tracking system happened via close collaboration between Noordwest Ziekenhuisgroep and Blyott. Integrating real-time location data into the hospital’s iARTA logistics platform lets NWZ automate important processes. Delivery confirmations and replenishment take place automatically without disrupting daily operations.
The result is a solid, scalable, and user-friendly healthcare IoT solution that enhances hospital logistics. Meanwhile, it also allows staff to focus more time and attention on patient care.
