What our customers say
With the “Healthcare Logistics for Sustainability” project, we have succeeded in penetrating a complex subject area in a structured way, involving various specialist areas and stakeholders, and thus opening up new perspectives for the future of logistics in our clinic. The IFOHRA GmbH team quickly integrated itself into our organization, independently developed well-founded
analyses and scientifically substantiated them in cooperation with the Technical University of Amberg-Weiden. The approaches developed for automation processes not only make a sustainable contribution to modernization, but also help to noticeably increase efficiency and patient safety. Overall, we see the collaboration as a valuable investment in the competitiveness of our clinic – and are happy to recommend IFOHRA GmbH as a strong partner for strategic development projects.

Automation makes the
working day more efficient…
The acute shortage of specialist staff is a major problem in hospitals, nursing homes and medical care centers. The constant overload leads to stress, inefficient processes and ultimately to little time being left for patients. This is why more and more facilities in the healthcare sector are turning to automation and robotics.
But doesn’t this mean that contact with patients is lost?
The answer: No, quite the opposite!
The result? More efficient hospital operations – and less stress in the team.
… but only if
you do it right!
To ensure that automation and robotics have the desired effect in your facility, choosing the right provider
is crucial.
Here are the points that will ensure your automation is successful:
IFOHRA: Process optimization and automation,
that makes a
REAL difference
With IFOHRA you get everything you need to automate your workflows efficiently.
We not only support you in selecting the right technology, but also accompany you from start to finish:
Health Check
Planning and implementation
Manufacturer-independent portal
Via our Healthcare Robotics Portal (HeRo), we will find the right automation product for you from more than 3000 - always with a neutral view and without being tied to one manufacturer.
Integration and support
Our approach:
Standardization →
Digitalization →
Automation
The first step is to standardize your processes. We analyse your existing processes and ensure that they are clearly defined and standardized. Only when your processes are standardized can we begin with digitalization - this is where we bring your processes into a digital system that makes the data available efficiently and centrally.
The final step isautomation: we use the digital data to implement measures that take over routine tasks automatically, such as transporting materials or cleaning processes. This process ensures that your clinic, care facility or medical center not only becomes more efficient, but also benefits from automation without your team having to manually intervene in every step.
Your advantages at a glance:
Achieving sustainability goals
With IFOHRA, you can not only increase efficiency, but also achieve your sustainability goals. Automations, such as cleaning robots, actively contribute to the conservation of resources - for example by reducing water consumption and the use of chemicals. In this way, you make an important contribution to the sustainability of your facility.
More time for patient contact
Automation does not mean less personal care, but more time for what really counts: Your patients. By automating routine tasks, your staff can focus on personalized care and your facility benefits from improved patient retention.
Relief for your employees
The workload in care facilities and clinics is enormous. Our product portfolio ensures that your employees are relieved of time-consuming tasks through automation. This allows you to create a better working environment while increasing the satisfaction and motivation of your team.
Skills shortages were yesterday
The shortage of skilled workers in the healthcare sector is putting increasing pressure on clinics and care facilities. With the right automation from IFOHRA, you can compensate for this development.

About us
The Institute for Healthcare Robotics and Automation - IFOHRA for short - has its origins in the "Medical Valley" - a center in Erlangen known for its innovative strength in the healthcare sector. IFOHRA was founded in 2021 as an institute that researches the effectiveness of automation in medical facilities.
The result was quickly clear: automation and robotics is THE lever to counter the shortage of skilled workers and relieve the burden on employees. This gave rise to the idea of supporting healthcare facilities in doing just that.
Our employees come from both industry and the medical sector.
The result: we combine experience from the logistics and automation industry with a deep understanding of the specific requirements and processes in the healthcare sector. This combination enables us to find suitable automation solutions for our customers that really make a difference.
