Automedi

Automedi is the world’s first circular decentralised factory for the healthcare sector. They have a distributed fleet of smart additive manufacturing appliances across the ecosystem for health and social care use. Providing a virtual-first, edge manufacturing supply chain with a sustainable reprocessing service.

Half of humanity has no access to basic healthcare. Disconnected communities travel hundreds of miles without roads. Care supplies are hard to replenish. Making developing nations entirely reliant on foreign medical expertise and equipment. Simultaneously, Earth's climate emergency risks destabilising fragile societies. International health has little recycling and reuse. Energy and transportation emit 3 to 10-times each product's weight in CO2.

COVID-19 mercilessly exploited global supply chain weaknesses. Unprecedented competitive demand for distant, limited manufacturing and PPE hoarding put health and care workers at risk.

Automedi furnishes the smallest outreach with its own supply chain. Producing medical equipment on-site and recycling waste to:

• Cut delivery and manufacturing emissions by 92%
• Save millions of tonnes of single use plastics. Creating jobs recycling waste into consumables 
• Mitigate supply risks - any care worker can manufacture equipment, anywhere, on-demand
• Volumetric optimisation folds equipment into compact space; no assembly; warm water to shape
• Quickly protect temporary staff using fitted accessories  
• >15% lower product costs but without freight costs
• Achieve economic commitments - furnish towns with factories. No heavy infrastructure
• Accelerating disconnected community participation 
• Rebalance health inequalities - instant similar grade equipment everywhere 
• Increase harvest efficiency - mitigate failed crops by generating bioplastic from the biomass of developing world farmers. 

Automedi is available now. It's circular facilities are built into shipping containers. They were the UK Digital Growth Awards Finalist. Their equipment is deployed in UK Pharmacies (South Manchester) and NHS field hospital and outreach.
