Swisslog's Ultra Station II Saves Workspace, Improves Throughput for Pneumatic Tube System Users

Denver, CO (PRWEB) January 28, 2005 -- Swisslog, the leader in pneumatic tube
systems for hospitals, introduces the Ultra Station II. The new pneumatic tube
system station combines two dispatch/receive ports into one compact station. The
station’s compact recessed design saves valuable workspace and it only requires
the width of a single standard station. The station is available for 6-inch and
4-inch tube systems, and allows the mixing of these sizes in the same
housing.
Each port can be connected to a separate pneumatic tube system
zone, thus increasing throughput and efficiency of the system. In the hospital
pharmacy, for example, carriers can be quickly dispatched to two stations at a
time, saving staff time. The station is flexible as one port can initially be
connected to the system, leaving the additional port available for future
expansion.
Each side of the station operates independently with its own
power supply, communications, and dispatch/receive port. This arrangement
maximizes uptime while performing preventative and corrective
maintenance.
The Ultra Station II is wall recessed, complete with trim
frame to provide a clean, finished installation. The Ultra Station II uses the
TransLogic I.Q. Control Panel, providing large LCD text fields and a
single-button hot-key station addressing.

automation systems in more than 2,000 hospital and pharmacies around the world.
