Location: Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre, Booth 51
Date: Sunday 26 - Wednesday 29 October 2025
Blood and blood product management is one of the most demanding supply chains in healthcare. Every unit must be tracked with accuracy, stored within strict temperature limits, and reconciled against clinical use. At BLOOD 2025 and the 36th ISBT Regional Congress in Perth, SATO Vicinity will demonstrate how PJM RFID supports modern blood supply chain management and traceability from receipt to transfusion, including the challenging aspect that many teams struggle with: remote site blood management.
At Booth 51, you can walk through a practical workflow that reflects real laboratory operations.
Remote theatres, satellite clinics, and regional hospitals are repeatedly cited as the highest friction points in the blood supply chain. Stock is often placed far from the main laboratory, PAR levels are set high to be safe, and near-expiry units are not always rotated in time.
A remote dashboard that shows what is in each fridge right now
Guided transfers that identify the best destination for units approaching expiry
Data-driven PAR levels based on actual usage patterns rather than guesswork
Automated return prompts and custody logging so unused units come back on time
Lower wastage at satellite and regional locations
Fewer urgent phone calls and manual stock counts
More predictable availability during peaks and emergencies
A clearer picture of where blood products are, and how long they have been there
Transfusion and blood bank managers who want fewer manual steps and clean audit trails
Pathology and laboratory directors who are responsible for compliance, throughput, and cost control
Theatre and ward leaders who need reliable stock where care happens
Supply chain and logistics teams who want evidence-based stock rotation and fewer outdates
CIOs, CMIOs, and health IT teams who need workflows that align with ISBT 128 and integrate with LIS and BloodNet
Receiving and put-away. Bulk read on arrival, automatic ingest to the workflow, and a confirmation read on fridge entry.
Storage and cold chain monitoring. Presence sensing inside the fridge, with time-out and temperature alerts when needed.
Issue and transport. A simple issue step that logs who took the unit and when, with automatic custody across benches and corridors.
Theatre and remote fridges. A live remote count, use-soon prompts, and a suggested transfer before outdate.
Reconcile and report. An instant stocktake through bulk reads, unit history in one place, and exceptions flagged for follow up.
If you're still on the fence about attending Blood 2025, you can check out our condensed booth walk-through from Blood 2024 with Steve Antonio, Product Manager at SATO Vicinity.
Reduction in expiry and time-out wastage
Reduced manual data entry across LIS and BloodNet workflows
Faster reconciliation and more reliable emergency readiness
Stronger cold chain confidence and audit readiness
Integration specifics vary by site, so the team will map a path that suits your environment and governance requirements.
