CUF uses Nextbitt platform to improve Medical Equipment Management

Real-Time Monitoring of Medical Equipment  

CUF realized that there were major difficulties in monitoring medical equipment within the units. One of the problems encountered was asset tracking, which causes problems such as:

- A lot of time spent looking for equipment for day-to-day use or for maintenance and audits;

- A great deal of effort and a high number of errors in inventory processes;

- Lack of information on the utilization/availability rate of equipment, which can result in errors in the replacement and purchase process.

The pandemic, the result of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (Covid 19), has deepened this difficulty, posing an additional challenge.

What has been done

CUF has started using Nextbitt for all its medical equipment maintenance management. The platform is used intensively by around 1,400 service requesters. The mobile app helps all technicians with corrective and preventive maintenance tasks as well as inspections.

Smart Tags

When placed on assets, they allow all information to be collected quickly and efficiently.

RTLS

With the use of the Real Time Location System, CUF has an immediate idea of the location of assets and their history.

Integration

Nextbitt ensured the smooth integration of the georeferencing systems into CUF's asset management platform and EAM system.

Monitoring SLAs

By always knowing where the assets are, you can keep track of all interventions. The platform automatically monitors the level of compliance with contracted SLAs.

The result

More efficient operation:

Reduced search times for infusion pumps, stretchers, wheelchairs, etc.


Data Centralization:

Automatic inventory with georeferencing.


Informed Purchasing Decisions:

Analysis of equipment movements to size stock and make informed purchasing decisions.


Error and theft prevention:

Receiving alerts when an asset leaves a predetermined zone, preventing errors and theft.

What our customers say

Flavio Ferreira Zeitreel

With Nextbitt it was possible for us to centralize all information regarding our physical assets on a single platform.

“On the Nextbitt platform we have all resources digitized, thus being able to monitor and maintain them, and systematize all processes and maintenance needs requested by our internal customers. This way we can reduce waiting times for requested interventions. This naturally reduces our costs, as we need shorter teams.”

"Nextbitt has enabled us to manage all the existing processes in a multidisciplinary and multi-installation context.

"Engineering and maintenance in the hospital environment increasingly requires an effort to plan, record and control activity, which is only possible with a solid management platform. Nextbitt has enabled us, in a multidisciplinary and multi-site context, to manage all existing processes - inspections, preventive and corrective maintenance, calibrations, audits, among others - and also to develop innovative IoT solutions which, in a partnership logic, guarantee continuous improvement and have prepared the future of asset management."

"Nextbitt was the ideal solution for the efficient and adaptable management of CTT's extensive asset park.

"The need to manage a large asset portfolio, very diversified and spread across the country, meant that we had to adopt a platform with a proven track record in the stable market, which would give us the guarantee of commitment, but also the necessary adaptability to CTT's specificities. Nextbitt was that solution."

"Using the Nextbitt platform allows us to register our portfolio of buildings and assets.

"Using the Nextbitt platform allows us to keep track of our portfolio of buildings and assets in an integrated and structured way. It is in this cloud-based environment that we manage requests for corrective action and the needs of our employees in the field of building management and services, allowing the various stages of the resolution process to be monitored online by the respective parties (requester, service providers and management team). The entire plan of preventive activities and audits is also centrally controlled on this platform. This is an essential tool for any Facility Manager."
