Every year, 15% of orthopedic OEM fleets are lost, leading to surgery delays, sub-optimal asset turnover, and unnecessary overproduction due to poor visibility into asset movements. SMADE addresses these issues with the first autonomous location tracker that withstands autoclave cycles. Our trackers provide real-time location data and track the washing and sterilization cycles of surgical trays via S-HUB, our proprietary cloud-based software platform. This allows users to track asset locations, confirm their status with carriers like FedEx to prevent loss, and monitor usage to determine whether to relocate or return unused trays. By enhancing asset visibility and utilization, SMADE reduces asset loss, minimizes excess inventory, boosts efficiency across the orthopedic supply chain, and drives more sustainable practices. This also improves surgery efficiency, patient safety, reduces wait times, and optimizes overall operational effectiveness, making SMADE essential for modern healthcare.
