Sewickley, PA – In the Capital Region of Denmark, Herlev Hospital and Rigshospitalet chooses CGI Danmark, Wonderware MES by Schneider Electric and Simio Simulation and Scheduling to support logistics flow, scheduling and material handling for their two new Central Sterile Services Departments and Distribution centres. The Sterile Services Departments and Distribution Centres will be highly automatic and equipped with robots and AGV’s to reduce the manual work with the goods. Rigshospitalet is the teaching hospital for medical students from Copenhagen University. It is preferred choice for patients in need of highly specialized treatment. Herlev Hospital has 1,616 beds, employs 4,000 people and tends to 82,000 patients annually.
“Simio simulation-based detailed production scheduling integrated with Wonderware MES was essential to this project,” said Rich Ritchie, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We are excited to help in the scheduling and simulation issues that Herlev Hospital and Rigshospitalet face.”
