Denmark: Creating IT architecture for supply chain automation

The Zealand University Hospital, on which construction is almost complete, will have an automated logistical infrastructure in place to ensure the right products are in the right place at the right time.

Zealand University Hospital, on which construction is now almost complete, will be the main specialist hospital in Denmark’s Zealand region. With hundreds of surgeries performed daily, including many specialist treatments, and thousands of outpatient visits by patients each day, hospital supply chains will play an important role in its efficient operation.

If medical devices and pharmaceutical products are not at the right place at the right time, many surgeries will be cancelled, and treatment of patients will be at risk.
