A prominent Northwest hospital network chose EPIC iOs IoT Healthcare Solutions to streamline the monitoring and management of its pharmaceutical-grade cold storage units across 10 hospitals.
Tasked with hosting a variety of biopharmaceuticals, blood, and vaccines, monitoring the hospitals’ 100+ cold storage units using IoT allows the hospitals to achieve compliance and real-time insight at significant cost and resource savings.
EPIC iO’s delivery of real-time enriched data and alerts to hospital personnel’s mobile devices replaces the previous system that required daily monitoring and manual reporting of the cold storage units’ temperature.
Additionally, the hospital’s use of sensors to monitor the status of the AC unit to detect vibrations helps ensure that the units are operating efficiently and helps detect early system failure or need for attention.
HOW OUR
Solution Works
Multifaceted in nature, the hospitals’ cold storage units require a flexible IoT-based solution that supports their key initiatives, including real-time sensor readings, intuitive monitoring and reporting, and enhanced remote management.
The hospitals’ adoption of an LTE-based IoT solution by EPIC iO provides them with a flexible platform and the ability to add additional services in the future, including security and surveillance.
EPIC iO delivered a solution that is built atop wireless market leader Cradlepoint’s Gigabit LTE solution. Cradlepoint provides an LTE-equipped cellular solution that is plug and play, cost-effective, and low maintenance.
Specifically, EPIC iO provided the hospital with a powerful solution that was built around Cradlepoint’s COR IBR900 and NetCloud Manager.
City and urban parking is often difficult to find, leading to stressful environments for drivers. Continuously monitoring and enforcing the city’s parking rules and regulations is a financial and staffing burden for city governments.
“The introduction of IoT to monitor our cold storage units are a critical step to modernizing our storage, streamlining our processes and allowing us to better serve our patients. EPIC iO’s IoT solution has already generated a significant ROI and we are continuing to look at how we can leverage IoT into other aspects of our hospital operations.”
