The customer: Hospital Albert Einstein
Hospital Albert Einstein is ranked as the best hospital in Latin America and one of the top 35 hospitals in the world. Managing a complex logistics operation across departments — from mobile medical devices to 300,000 textiles — requires precision, speed and automation.
SmartX HUB's RFID solution delivered exactly that, generating over $300,000 in annual savings from linen management alone — built on real-time asset tracking and textile traceability.
Manual tracking at hospital scale
Technical staff were spending significant time manually searching departments for mobile medical equipment, creating delays that risked patient-care quality. At the same time, the hospital had to manage 300,000 textiles through its laundry process — with limited funding for extra staff or equipment. At that scale, manual tracking was simply unsustainable.
Time lost searching
Staff spent hours hunting for mobile medical equipment across departments.
Delays risk patient care
Equipment delays created risk to the quality and timeliness of care.
300,000 textiles
A massive laundry operation was impossible to track by hand.
Limited resources
Little funding for extra staff or equipment to close the gap manually.
