Implementing an Innovative Track & Trace System in a Dutch Hospital
We are implementing an innovative track & trace system in a Dutch hospital using Wirepas technology. The chosen Haltian locators are powered by LED lighting, enabling a rapid deployment without the need for wiring or battery replacement. This creates a dedicated IoT network, completely separate from the hospital infrastructure.
Key Benefits Wirepas:
Fast implementation with LED-powered locators, eliminating wiring
Dedicated IoT network, independent of the hospital’s infrastructure
Accurate positioning (1-5 meters) with minimal infrastructure
Integrated platform management via Alltrace software
Up to 50% cost reduction compared to traditional systems
Tag battery life of 3-5 years, ensuring optimal Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
The Alltrace software acts as a central management platform, processing location data from Haltian equipment for effective operational control. This solution combines sustainability with practical applicability in a hospital environment.
Alltrace Task Management Based on Your Configurable Rules
IoT Functionalities
Beyond tracking and tracing, the following functional areas can also be seamlessly optimized within the same Wirepas infrastructure:
Inventory management
Waste management
Building management
Workplace management
Equipment management
Medical device management
Cleaning management
Climate control
With this simple and scalable system, we keep healthcare affordable. From a centralized platform, Alltrace allows you to manage operations efficiently. Existing systems based on WiFi, BLE, UWB, Zigbee, LoRaWAN, RFID, barcode, and QR scanning can seamlessly integrate into the platform, making centralized control effortless.
Why Wirepas?
Easy Installation: The infrastructure is simple to set up, even by the user. Readout points can be easily mounted on suspended ceilings or walls. The battery-powered nodes charge themselves via artificial and natural light, eliminating the need for expensive wiring.
Energy Efficiency: Some network components operate using ambient light, significantly reducing installation and maintenance costs.
Cost-Effective: Wirepas projects typically cost only 50-70% of alternative solutions (TCO).
Expandable: The network can be easily expanded with various sensors (e.g., open/close, air quality, workplace occupancy, fill levels). Thanks to smart sensors, the network remains uncluttered, even in large-scale deployments. The largest Wirepas network to date successfully supports 3.5 million sensors operating together.
Integrated Solution: A single technology for multiple applications, from asset tracking to facility management, waste control, and workplace optimization.
Optimized Frequency Usage: Utilizes all available channels for better scalability.
Non-Disruptive: Smart channel management prevents interference with medical equipment.
Long Battery Life: Tags last 3-5 years, contributing to low total cost of ownership.
High Accuracy: 1-5 meter precision through triangulation, requiring only a limited number of nodes—unlike other technologies that demand many readout points.
Security: The Wirepas network operates entirely separately from existing hospital networks, ensuring optimal patient data protection.
