Now hospital bed cleaning with RFID solution

In an effort to improve the installment and cleaning hospital beds, the municipal hospitals in Bielefeld will very soon adopt the RFID technology. Siemens Business Service and Joh.Stiegelmeyer GmbH & Co. KG are jointly handling the RFID project. Joh. Stiegelmeyer GMbH & Co. KG is one of the leading hospital bed manufacturers while Siemens Business Service has spearheaded in IT based solutions.

This is the first major RFID pilot project in Germany. Under the pilot project, UHF RFID transponders will be attached to hospital beds, with numbering. The beds integrated with RFID chips will provide data to RFID readers placed at the ward's entry and exit doors. The central bed preparation unit has also a reader. Data regarding the exact time of bed cleaning is known from the bed preparation unit. Then it provides necessary work instructions.
