Efficient supply management is essential to delivering high-quality patient care.

Improve Hospital Supply Management with Kardex Automation

Kardex automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) help hospitals streamline logistics, reduce waste, and ensure the right items are available—when and where they’re needed. By optimizing storage space, enhancing cleanliness, and improving inventory control, Kardex solutions empower healthcare professionals to focus on what matters most: the patient.

Maximize Space for Critical Care Activities

Space is a valuable resource in any hospital. Kardex solutions consolidate essential supplies—including surgical instruments, PPE, linens, and medications—into compact, vertical storage systems. This high-density approach frees up floor space previously used for bulky shelving or overstocked supply rooms, allowing hospitals to repurpose that space for more impactful uses such as exam rooms, treatment areas, or labs.

By organizing inventory in a centralized, automated system, staff can eliminate clutter and improve access without expanding the facility footprint—ideal for urban hospitals and high-traffic medical centers.

Ensure Real-Time Inventory Visibility and Control

Effective hospital supply chain management requires full visibility and tight control. Kardex systems integrate with hospital inventory management software to track every item stored and retrieved in real-time. This improves order accuracy, reduces manual counting, and eliminates unnecessary reorders or emergency resupplies.

With better inventory tracking, hospitals can ensure consistent availability of mission-critical items, minimize waste due to expiration or loss, and support more efficient supply replenishment processes—all contributing to cost savings and better patient care outcomes.

Protect Sensitive Items with Cleanroom and Climate-Controlled Storage

Maintaining strict hygiene and environmental conditions is non-negotiable in hospital supply management. Kardex offers automation solutions that can be adapted for cleanroom compatibility and temperature- or humidity-controlled storage, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and protecting sensitive materials.

Whether you're storing sterile surgical packs, temperature-sensitive medications, or lab reagents, our systems provide secure, contamination-free access to critical items, reducing exposure risk and preserving product integrity.

Streamline Hospital Logistics with Goods-to-Person Technology

Kardex’s goods-to-person approach brings items directly to staff at an ergonomic access point, eliminating long walks through storage areas and reducing time spent searching for supplies. This not only improves efficiency but also minimizes physical strain for employees and creates a more organized, quieter environment in support departments.

With faster, more accurate access to inventory, hospitals can reduce delays, improve internal workflows, and ultimately enhance the level of care provided to patients.

Automation That Supports Exceptional Patient Care

Every Kardex solution is designed with one goal in mind: enabling hospitals to operate more efficiently so clinical staff can focus on care delivery. From maximizing space and ensuring inventory control to protecting sensitive materials and accelerating supply workflows, our systems are proven to reduce logistical burdens and support better patient experiences.
