When Hospitals Have an "Underground Logistics Line" – The Value of Box‑Type Logistics Systems

If pneumatic tubes are for "small‑item express delivery," box‑type logistics systems handle the "medium‑to‑large bulk transport" challenge. Every day, hospitals need to move large quantities of infusion fluids, surgical instrument sets, batch lab specimens, medical records, and other items between departments. These are too big or heavy for pneumatic carriers, so traditionally they are moved by manual carts or elevators.

Jiangsu Starfire Medical Technology's box‑type logistics system uses large‑capacity totes as carriers, with a smart network of workstations, vertical lifts, and horizontal conveyors to transport totes across floors and departments. Like an intelligent "conveyor belt," it delivers medical materials at a steady speed precisely to where they are needed.

A key feature is its payload capacity – typically up to 50 kg, enough for bulk fluids and surgical kits. A single delivery takes about 10 minutes on average – a notable improvement over manual transport.

Beyond efficiency, the system improves the hospital environment. By centralizing logistics routes, it reduces foot traffic and cart movement in corridors, making the facility quieter and more orderly. Patients no longer have to share crowded hallways with supply carts – the experience is cleaner and more pleasant.

From pneumatic tubes to box‑type conveyors, Jiangsu Starfire Medical Technology offers complete transport solutions for different types of materials, helping hospitals build more efficient and orderly internal logistics networks.
