TranspoNet Pneumatic Tube System

The collaboration of key departments in hospitals is essential for diagnosis, therapy and the recovery of patients. Our pneumatic tube system TranspoNet significantly improves the interdepartmental cooperation by delivering mission critical items (pharmaceuticals, blood and specimen) in a secured and transparent manner.

Real-time status information and workflow guidance relieve medical staff and give them more time to focus on patients. This reduces distractions and confusion about the whereabouts of materials and enables smooth, interdisciplinary processes.

Is your pharmacy staff spending too much time carrying around medications manually? Do your lab technicians carry samples or even paperwork around your facility? Are your nurses constantly collecting items from other departments? It's time to think about some support for your critical workflows.

Our hospital tube system TranspoNet transports goods to their destination 24/7. Smoothly, efficiently, reliably and faster than staff can deliver on foot. Automated and integrated solutions in the pharmacy or the laboratory eliminate dull & repetitive tasks. The hospitals’ specialists can focus on their core tasks and ultimately increase the productivity of your facility.

The management of buildings becomes increasingly complex. Managing the various sub-systems and ensuring their compliance to safety standards is a cost-intensive challenge and for healthcare facilities. Our pneumatic tube system provides guidance and the right documentation to comply to safety standards, helping to reduce the total cost of ownership for your facility.

Cybersecurity threats are a new and very serious challenge in healthcare. Cases where hospitals are held hostage are on the rise. The modern IT infrastructure of TranspoNet minimizes the risk of critical material flows in your facility becoming subject to cyber-attacks.

TranspoNet deliveries are transparent and secure. The departments are always informed about the delivery status and know that only authorized personnel can receive the carriers. This creates certainty, increases concentration and reduces mistakes.

We are proud to support the workflow of your staff with our integrated and automated solutions. The interaction between automation, medication tracking software and pharmacy software  simplifies your daily tasks. We develop products tailored to your needs. So, you can benefit from our system in the long term, and your facility management is relieved from maintaining our solutions.

A TranspoNet pneumatic tube system consists of various components. Stations, switches, transfer units, and side channel blowers are combined to create a system that meets the requirements and structure of a particular hospital. The system is controlled with the help of the TranspoNet software. Side channel blowers use ambient air to create a flow that moves the carriers through the system. Suction and pressure air realize the transport direction.

A pneumatic tube system can be planned for both new and existing buildings. The pneumatic tube center, where the central junction is located, is usually in basement areas that are easily accessible for maintenance. The tube network typically runs in utility shafts, through walls, floors, and under suspended ceilings of the hospital, connecting individual areas or even multiple buildings.

A pneumatic tube system is mainly used to send medications, blood, laboratory samples, documents or supplies. Depending on the system, goods up to 1.5 kg can be sent via each carrier. In certain cases, exceptions can be made.

Software controls the transport through the pneumatic tube system. It sends and receives information relevant to the transport. After the caregiver enters the container into the pneumatic tube station and selects a destination, the RFID transponder is automatically scanned and assigned to the destination. The software generates a transport ID and calculates the optimal route to the recipient.
