From the AWT-Seminar in Erfurt to med.Logistica SPOTLIGHT in Graz: WeAssist showed how intelligent patient transport can noticeably ease the pressure on clinical processes.
How can hospitals make their transport processes more efficient while also reducing the physical strain on staff? This question was at the heart of two important industry events for WeAssist in April 2026: the AWT-Seminar in Erfurt and med.Logistica SPOTLIGHT 2026 in Graz.
Both events showed how important practical solutions are for modern hospital logistics. Whether automated material transport, lean logistics or bed management: hospitals need processes that work reliably, ease the pressure on staff and make everyday work noticeably simpler. Intelligent mobility solutions are becoming even more important, especially against the backdrop of limited staff resources.
AWT-Seminar 2026 in Erfurt: exchange on hospital logistics
The AWT-Seminar took place on 21 and 22 April 2026 at Messe Erfurt and brought together experts from hospitals, planning and industry. The focus was on practical solutions, professional exchange and new ideas for automated material transport in hospitals. Staff shortages also became clear as a key challenge in day-to-day hospital operations.
This is exactly where WeAssist comes in: the system supports hospital teams when transporting hospital beds and makes demanding routes noticeably easier. In many situations, one person is enough to move a bed safely and in a controlled way – an important advantage when staff resources are limited and processes need to run reliably.
For visitors, the seminar was a valuable opportunity to test WeAssist for themselves and experience how intelligent patient transport can ease the pressure on everyday hospital work – especially where long distances, confined spaces or heavy beds make day-to-day tasks more challenging.
med.Logistica SPOTLIGHT 2026 in Graz: experiencing lean logistics live
Just one day later, WeAssist presented itself at med.Logistica SPOTLIGHT 2026 at LKH-University Hospital Graz. The event is one of the leading specialist conferences for hospital logistics and process management in healthcare. With a focus on lean logistics, it showed in practical terms how hospitals can make their processes more efficient, transparent and future-ready.
As a silver sponsor, WeAssist presented a solution on site that addresses exactly this need: the system supports nursing and transport teams when moving hospital beds and can help reduce physical strain while improving patient transport processes. This makes WeAssist a practical support solution for hospitals that want to make their transport processes more efficient and ease the pressure on their staff in everyday work.
Conclusion: two events, one clear message
The exchange in Erfurt and Graz made one thing clear: modern hospital logistics does not end with material flow. Patient transport also offers great potential for more ergonomics, efficiency and process reliability – especially against the backdrop of limited staff resources.
Whether at the AWT-Seminar in Erfurt or at med.Logistica SPOTLIGHT in Graz, WeAssist showed how intelligent mobility solutions can contribute to the future of hospital logistics. The focus is always on clear benefits for hospitals: less physical strain, more efficient processes and greater support for the people who transport patients every day.
