Robotics network in the healthcare sector: Gain experiences from the Center for Sustainable Hospitals

Can robotics transform disposables into reusables? Find out on 25 August, when Danish Technological Institute and Odense Robotics invites you to a visit at the Center for Sustainable Hospitals (Center for Bæredygtige Hospitaler) in Aarhus.

Recycling of materials is a huge and necessary area of effort for the healthcare sector. It is both about green transition and freeing up resources for an already stressed staff.

Do you want to help find the robotic solutions?

Get a bigger network and new inspiration, when Danish Technological Institute and Odense Robotics invites you to visit the Center for Sustainable Hospitals (Center for Bæredygtige Hospitaler) in Aarhus. on 25 August 2023.

The healthcare system’s climate footprint is a burning platform

Huge amounts of resources are used in the operation of the country’s hospitals and health institutions. The amount of gloves, syringes and uniforms that smoke directly in the bin after one use is a clear example.

The green transition in the healthcare sector is far behind, and the potential for recycling is therefore great.

And here robots and automation are part of the solution. A wide range of technologies are at play – from item identification, sorting and transport to sterilisation.

To counter these challenges we have established a free network on green transition in the health sector. The network will convey needs and challenges from the end users and create space for exchange and cooperation between end users and companies as well as between the participating companies.

The first network meeting was held at Odense University Hospital on 22 June, and even if you did not participate here, you are more than welcome to register for the network and network meeting number two in Aarhus.

Inspiration visit at the Center for Sustainable Hospitals (Center for Bæredygtige Hospitaler) in Aarhus

At the networking meeting Center for Sustainable Hospitals (Center for Bæredygtige Hospitaler) will share their many experiences and efforts in the field.

In addition, Søren Haack, who has great expertise in resources and recycling, will talk about projects and methods in the field.

Søren is a PhD, civil engineer and employed at the Danish Technological Institute’s Center for Product and Material Chemistry.

After the inspiring presentations, the day offers workshop activities where we will begin to explore project possibilities and potentials.
