How Siemens Healthineers gets real-time, end-to-end visibility into its outbound supply chain

Without end-to-end visibility into inbound and outbound supply chains, manufacturers risk production and delivery delays.

Using HERE's Shipment Visibility solution, Siemens Healthineers can now inform hospitals and technicians about any shipments that arrive early or late, reducing cost and installation time.

By leveraging HERE tracking, which is powered by AWS, they can track and monitor the location, condition and ETA of their medical equipment – achieving real-time, end-to-end visibility.

Reduces hospital shutdown time

Developing a smart sensor tracking device enables complete shipment condition monitoring with global connectivity – and the ability to record data when offline.

Delivered

Optimizes technicians' time

Using HERE's indoor localization technology with no added infrastructure, Siemens Healthineers can confirm the shipment has been delivered to the technician's specific floor and room.

Through our relationship with HERE, Siemens Healthineers can inform hospitals and technicians ahead of time about any early or delayed shipment arrivals.
