Frequently Asked Questions

Is it hard to remove or replace smart wall bins?

No, it’s quite straightforward for UNICAS to replace your storage bins with minimal supply room interruption. In fact, we can put our Open Storage Racks right in front of the previous wall hook panels to save time and reduce unnecessary installation time.

How do I rotate inventory with the UNICAS system?

Instead of having to pick through jumbled bins, our Kanban-driven system allows for intuitive item picking and restocking. This reduces material outdates and saves your department money on supplies.

Does your solution not work in certain departments?

Our completely customizable, modular supply chain system works in every department at the hospital, as well as for outpatient facilities. We’ve seen it all and know how to get your team set up for success.

How quickly can I get a UNICAS system installed?

All of our medical supply chain system racks, cabinets, and components are made right here in the USA. That means we can usually ship and install your new supply rooms in just a few weeks instead of months.
