This participation highlights the company's leadership in delivering intelligent blood safety and smart management solutions powered by IoT technology.
At the congress, Haier Biomedical further accelerated its transformation from an equipment provider to a comprehensive full-process solution provider, unveiling an integrated blood management solution covering the entire workflow—from blood collection and component processing to low-temperature storage, intelligent transportation, and clinical application.

Automation Solution Specialist Daniele Pericolini presented the deployment of Haier Biomedical's R-Series Automated Blood Management Refrigerator at the New Arcispedale Sant'Anna Hospital in Ferrara, Italy. The hospital moved from paper records and manual tracking to RFID-enabled HXC-Series Automated Blood Management Refrigerators. The digital upgrade allows instant blood bag location, bedside requests, and electronic cross-matching, reducing retrieval times to under one minute. With secure drawers, ozone sterilization, automatic inventory, and alarms, the system delivers full traceability, zero errors, reduced waste, and a lighter workload for staff. Haier Biomedical is the only company offering RFID tags with customized integration.
Blood Chain Product Manager Zhou Weidong presented two further deployments: Brazil's HemoRio Blood Bank and the Philippines' Asia Pacific Medical Center, where the smart refrigerator enabled full digital tracking from day one without extra software.
Beyond the seminar, Haier Biomedical exhibited a complete product ecosystem covering the blood management value chain, along with comprehensive service capabilities across multiple scenarios in the blood industry. Notably, its digital blood management solution, built on an AI, automation, and IoT architecture, enables real-time monitoring and full traceability through the entire process, from collection and processing to storage and clinical application.
