Challenge	Huashan Hospital North at Fudan University, a leading healthcare facility in China, was facing several challenges. The hospital was constructed under technological and budget constraints in 2012 and was struggling to operate sustainably and reduce energy consumption. Compared to other local hospitals, Huashan Hospital North had poor power visibility and significantly higher energy consumption relative to the number of beds. The hospital's systems were not integrated, meaning they lacked a unified interface for ease of management. There was also no way of detecting potential problems in the power system or identifying hidden dangers in electrical safety that could cause downtime in operations. The logistics staff at the hospital was motivated to improve these conditions and sought out connected technology to create a smart logistics nerve center, better manage their systems, and provide eco-friendly outcomes.
