An automated storage solution for the Kurdistan Children’s Hospital
THE COMPANY
The Kurdistan Children’s Hospital is an ambitious and far-sighted new tertiary healthcare facility in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq realized in the 2014 to treat the large number of children and mothers that are currently unable to access suitable medical treatment or surgery inside Iraq.
THE LOGISTICS CHALLENGES
Since the main goal of the project of the new Children’s Hospital was to guarantee the best medical treatments in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, the management decided to look for a solution that would be able to automate and simplify the storage of sealed pharmaceuticals, in order to:
– ensure the traceability of each pharmaceuticals and reduce the risk of loss and / or out-of-stock situations
– ensure the proper storage conditions
– speed up search operations
– reduce the risk of medication administration errors
THE SOLUTION
The Kurdistan Children’s Hospital Management chose a SILO² multi column Vertical Lift Module strategically installed at the middle of the Hospital to efficiently serve all the surrounding department. Thanks to its totally enclosed structure, SILO² protects the stored items from externals (dust, high temperature, etc. …) and from unauthorized access.
