TransLogic Launches Cloud Platform to Secure Hospital Transport Systems
- $2.4 billion: Global market value of pneumatic tube systems (PTS) in 2023
- HITRUST-certified: MYtranslogic meets rigorous healthcare security standards
- Reduces issue resolution time: From hours/days to seconds
Experts agree that MYtranslogic represents a significant advancement in hospital logistics, enhancing efficiency, security, and reliability of pneumatic tube systems while reducing operational disruptions.
TransLogic Launches Cloud Platform to Revolutionize Hospital Logistics
BROOMFIELD, Colo. – February 03, 2026 – TransLogic, a Swisslog Healthcare company, today announced the North American launch of MYtranslogic, a cloud-based monitoring platform designed to bring new levels of intelligence and security to the pneumatic tube systems that serve as the circulatory system for modern hospitals. Developed in partnership with software firm DevIQ, the new platform provides healthcare operations teams with secure, remote visibility into their transport automation, aiming to proactively prevent system failures that can disrupt patient care and strain hospital resources.
Pneumatic tube systems (PTS) are a fixture in healthcare, quietly transporting critical items like blood samples, medications, and lab results across sprawling hospital campuses. The global market for these systems, valued at over $2.4 billion in 2023, is projected to grow steadily as hospitals seek to enhance efficiency. However, the operational cost of a system failure can be immense, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment. MYtranslogic addresses this vulnerability by transforming traditional PTS into a smart, connected network.
Securing the Hospital's Hidden Lifelines
Behind the walls of every major hospital, a complex network of pneumatic tubes acts as a high-speed highway for patient-critical materials. When this system works, it saves countless staff hours and accelerates care. When it fails, the ripple effects are immediate. A system shutdown can force clinical staff to revert to time-consuming manual transport, diverting their attention from patients and introducing risks of error or delay.
MYtranslogic is engineered to prevent these disruptions. By providing engineering and facilities teams with protected access to system data from any internet-connected device, it allows for remote monitoring and management. Staff can identify potential issues, review carrier transactions, and clear routine system alarms without being physically present at a control station. This capability dramatically reduces issue resolution time from hours or days to mere seconds.
"This development in tube system management keeps clinical staff focused on patient care rather than handling technical issues, while giving engineering teams the tools they need to maintain optimal system performance around the clock," said Adam Tappen, Senior Vice President of Sales and Service at TransLogic North America. "MYtranslogic delivers the secure access healthcare facilities need to manage their transport automation systems while maintaining the highest standards of data protection."
The Gold Standard of Cybersecurity in Operations
In an era where healthcare is a prime target for cyberattacks, introducing any new connected technology requires an uncompromising commitment to security. TransLogic has addressed this by building MYtranslogic on a foundation of elite data protection, achieving the rigorous HITRUST certification for both the product and its cloud environment.
HITRUST is widely recognized as the gold standard for healthcare information security. It provides a comprehensive framework that unifies standards from HIPAA, NIST, ISO, and others into a single, certifiable model. For a hospital, choosing a HITRUST-certified solution provides a high degree of assurance that the technology partner has implemented and validated extensive security controls to protect sensitive data and ensure regulatory compliance. This dual certification demonstrates that MYtranslogic meets key industry-defined requirements to mitigate risk in cybersecurity, privacy, and data protection.
"Modern healthcare demands both immediate system access and uncompromising security," stated Scott Fincher, Product Director, Transport Automation at TransLogic and Swisslog Healthcare. "MYtranslogic gives facilities the power to address issues through secure channels, preventing small problems from becoming expensive operational delays that disrupt patient care and compromise safety protocols."
Modernizing Legacy Infrastructure with Intelligent Technology
The launch of MYtranslogic represents more than just a new software tool; it is a case study in the digital transformation of essential hospital infrastructure. The platform works in conjunction with TransLogic's latest Software Version 9, which itself marks a significant technical leap forward. The new software replaces older PostgreSQL flat files with a modern Microsoft SQL Database, a change that dramatically improves data access, scalability, and the ability to segregate data on a secure server.
This robust backend allows the MYtranslogic platform to receive a constant one-way API feed of operational data, which is then processed and presented in an intuitive, accessible cloud repository. The partnership with DevIQ was instrumental in architecting this secure and scalable solution, bridging the gap between established mechanical systems and the world of cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT).
By integrating intelligent monitoring with a transport system that has been a healthcare workhorse for over a century, TransLogic is providing a blueprint for how other legacy hospital systems can be modernized. This evolution ensures that proven, reliable infrastructure can continue to provide value while benefiting from the security, accessibility, and proactive capabilities of today's leading technologies.
A New Era of Efficiency for Hospital Staff
The ultimate measure of any healthcare technology is its impact on patient care and the people who provide it. MYtranslogic is designed to deliver tangible benefits to both clinical and technical staff, addressing persistent challenges like staff shortages and operational bottlenecks.
For facilities and engineering teams, the platform shifts the maintenance paradigm from reactive to proactive. Instead of responding to emergency shutdowns, they can monitor system performance, identify components nearing the end of their lifecycle, and schedule preventative maintenance during off-peak hours. The ability to remotely clear minor alarms frees them from tedious tasks, allowing them to focus on more strategic work that enhances overall system reliability.
For nurses, lab technicians, and pharmacists, a reliable tube system is a system they don't have to think about. By minimizing downtime, MYtranslogic ensures they can depend on the rapid delivery of critical items. This reliability allows them to remain at their stations—whether at the bedside, in the lab, or at the pharmacy—and dedicate their full attention to their specialized, patient-facing roles. As the healthcare industry continues to grapple with workforce challenges, optimizing the efficiency of every team member is more critical than ever.
With incentives available for early adopters, TransLogic has signaled its confidence in the market's readiness for this next generation of transport automation management. The launch of MYtranslogic marks a significant step toward a future where hospital operations are not only more efficient but also more resilient, secure, and intelligently managed.
