Feasibility of intelligent logistics management for operational efficiency in smart hospitals: a case study

It is imperative to enhance the scientific management of logistics through the creation and advancement of an Intelligent Logistics Management in Smart Hospitals. This paper presents a preliminary introduction to an intelligent logistics management system. The subsequent section offers a comprehensive overview of the diverse platforms that constitute the intelligent logistics management system. These include the energy management platform, intelligent lighting control platform, one-stop service platform, power operation and maintenance monitoring platform, and the BIM O&M platform, the latter of which is visualised. Furthermore, it provides a comprehensive account of the construction, architectural design, and the functions and responsibilities of the constituent sub-platforms. Furthermore, a thorough examination is conducted to ascertain the substantial efficacy and energy-saving impact of implementing an intelligent logistics management system within the context of a hospital project in Shenzhen, China. The findings indicate a substantial reduction in the energy consumption of the entire building structure, with the maximum total energy consumption reduced by 402 MWh, signifying an 18.5% decline. The system has been demonstrated to reduce operational costs and facilitate environmentally conscious operations, which represents a core objective. The construction of the logistics operation and maintenance platform serves to enhance the efficiency of integrated logistics management, as well as the degree of management refinement. The management system, which employs information technology, is an effective tool for the oversight and enhancement of logistics management. Furthermore, the system provides logistical support for the construction of an environmentally sustainable hospital.
