——Advanced material handling systems support high-end care in Hangzhou's Liangzhu New Town

March 2026 – As Liangzhu New Town emerges as a hub for life sciences and innovation in Hangzhou, the demand for high-quality healthcare has grown alongside it. At the heart of this transformation stands Shulan International Medical Center—a 437-acre campus designed to integrate clinical care, research, and health management under one roof.

Scheduled to open in late 2026, the center will feature a 2,000-bed tertiary hospital, specialized clinical space for hematology, cardiology, and digestive care, and an international health center offering premium medical services. Designed by AECOM in collaboration with Zhejiang Architectural Design and Research Institute, the campus prioritizes both efficiency and patient experience—with green spaces woven into its clinical core.

But delivering care at this scale requires more than thoughtful architecture. It demands a logistics backbone capable of moving thousands of items—medications, lab samples, surgical supplies—quickly, safely, and without error.

That's where Esseniot comes in.

The hospital has adopted  Esseniot's integrated logistics solution , combining two systems that work in tandem:

The intelligent vertical conveyor system handles high-volume loads—think infusion bags, sterile supplies, and bulk pharmaceuticals—moving them reliably across departments.

The  pneumatic tube system provides speed for urgent needs: stat lab samples, emergency blood requests, time-critical documents.

Together, they create a closed-loop, automated transport network that reduces manual handling, minimizes infection risk, and frees clinical staff to focus on patients—not logistics.

For a medical center positioning itself as an international benchmark, these systems are more than infrastructure. They're a statement of intent: that quality care depends on what happens behind the scenes as much as what happens at the bedside.

As Liangzhu's life sciences ecosystem continues to take shape, Shulan International Medical Center stands as both anchor and enabler. And Esseniot is proud to support its mission—helping deliver care that's not only world-class, but reliably, safely, and efficiently delivered.
