Haier Biomedical Shifts to Digital Blood Workflow Systems

The company’s shift centers on its new automated ecosystem, which replaces traditional manual tracking and paper records with RFID-enabled technology. A primary example of this transition is the deployment of the R-Series Automated Blood Management Refrigerator at the New Arcispedale Sant’Anna Hospital in Ferrara, Italy. By utilizing RFID tags for electronic cross-matching and bedside requests, the facility reduced blood retrieval times to under one minute while ensuring full traceability and near-zero error rates.

Automation specialists also highlighted successful implementations at Brazil's HemoRio Blood Bank and the Philippines' Asia Pacific Medical Center. These sites leveraged the HXC-Series refrigerators to enable digital tracking without the need for additional third-party software. Beyond storage, the platform manages the entire blood lifecycle, including plasma apheresis, component separation, and intelligent transportation. With U-Blood solutions now operational in dozens of countries—ranging from Germany and Thailand to Morocco and Zambia—Haier Biomedical is scaling its digital infrastructure to support a global transition toward distributed, interconnected blood transfusion networks.
