Belimed – From hardware to software provider
Devices for sterilization, disinfection and cleaning of medical and surgical instruments are essential for smooth and efficient hospital operations. To prevent malfunctions and offer customers the best possible service, Belimed has developed an Azure-based SmartHub for its devices together with Trivadis. It networks washer-disinfectors in such a way that their productivity data can be recorded, mapped, transmitted to third-party systems and evaluated. This has many advantages – for Belimed, hospitals and ultimately the patients. Since the data from the machines is monitored and analyzed live 24/7, Belimed can constantly optimize its performance and react to disruptive events at an early stage, thus preventing outages and interruptions in hospital operations. Thanks to the web application, hospital staff can also monitor the equipment from anywhere – even outside the hospital. In a next step, Belimed customers will also be able to use the web application to remedy faults remotely and further optimize their processes. All in all, the SmartHub has enabled Belimed to transform itself from a “sheet metal bender” to a digital service provider, thus opening up new market potential.
