Smart Operating Room Medical Supply Distribution System

Project Highlights

1. Smart reminder system to assist new staff
   The system provides supply pick-up reminders and step-by-step guidance, reducing the difficulty of operation for new staff and preventing mis-picks or omissions.
2. Support for multiple supply scenarios: Standard / Emergency mode
   The system can switch between “standard” and “emergency” pick-up processes depending on surgical needs, ensuring quick response in urgent situations.
3. AI-generated surgeon-specific supply lists
   By learning from historical data, the system automatically generates supply lists for commonly used items by different specialists, reducing human judgment errors.
4. End-to-end digitalized medical supply flow management
   The system tracks medical supplies throughout the process—from central warehouse → supply room → shelves → operating room—improving inventory transparency and allocation efficiency.
5. Support for UDI barcode control and product traceability
   The system integrates UDI management with medical records, enhancing patient safety and internal accountability while meeting regulatory and certification requirements.
6. Expandable to automated distribution devices to reduce manpower reliance
   　If supply room space allows, an automated distribution system can be integrated to allocate surgical supplies directly to operating rooms, eliminating the need for manual handling.

With increasing surgical volume and limited nursing resources, hospitals face the challenge of highly complex workflows for surgical supply management, heavily reliant on manual judgment and distribution. To effectively ease the burden on nursing staff and improve operational efficiency, major medical institutions urgently require smart medical supply management projects.

Through customized system development, AI assistance, and RFID technology integration, the operating room supply process can be fully optimized.
