Pneumatic tube stations at a glance

TranspoNet™ Pneumatic Tube Stations

Tailor your TranspoNet Pneumatic Tube System (PTS) with different types of stations. Stations are where you interact with your pneumatic tube system – sending and receiving lab specimens, blood products, medication, documents, supplies, and other materials.

For the ward - FrontLoad Station

The FrontLoad station is a flexible send-receive station of the TranspoNet Pneumatic Tube System. Mainly designed for hospital wards with its slender, space-saving design without compromising on functionalities. Two design versions offer different security settings and aesthetics fitting for your ward designs and nurses' workflow.

FrontLoad Station Access Management
  • Carrier management version increases tracking on sent and received carriers
  • Upgrade to the access management version with a lockable receiving cabinet to store delivered carriers securely
  • supports RFID card scan to access the receiving cabinet

For the labs - OpenLog Station

Reducing turnaround time is a key performance indicator for laboratory efficiency in specimen analysis. The OpenLog station for our pneumatic tube system enables you to obtain faster test results and reduce hospitalization time for patients through a fully automated sample unloading at your laboratory. As a result, hospitals can improve the quality of care for their patients with a short return on investment. To complement this pneumatic tube station, we supply the purpose-designed SmartOpen pneumatic tube carrier as well.

Q&A

How does a pneumatic tube station work?

Depending on the station type, a pneumatic tube station has two main functions: sending and receiving. Some stations can also send only or receive only. Through a display, users enter their desired destination. Pneumatic tube stations can be equipped with a card reader to allow access only to authorized persons, so that it is possible to send secured transports.

Why do different pneumatic tube stations exist?

The different pneumatic tube stations cover different areas. Laboratories usually have a higher transport volume than other areas. The laboratory stations must be able to cope with this and therefore have different functionalities than, for example, the stations at nursing stations.

Our stations can be used individually to get the most out of your transportation system.

How can pneumatic tube stations be accessed?

Pneumatic tube stations are accessible to all authorized personnel in a hospital. If the pneumatic tube station has an access management system, authorization usually takes place via a card reader at the pneumatic tube station. Different user groups can be used to restrict access to certain goods, such as narcotics.
