About The Customer
Unomic, founded in 2006 in Busan, South Korea, is a leading provider of analytics and automation solutions for the healthcare and manufacturing industries. The company offers the ELFiNOS machine-learning platform, which supports a wide range of use cases, including decision-support systems for healthcare providers and Industry 4.0 solutions for manufacturers. Unomic's solutions are designed to help clients in the OEM sector meet rising demands for speed, quality, and cost control by automating production lines and improving operational efficiency.
The Challenge
In the OEM sector, demands for speed, quality, and cost control are rising. OEMs are targeting higher levels of automation for their production lines to meet stringent client requirements around just-in-time and just-in-sequence product deliveries without increasing operational costs. However, automating an entire production line with multiple systems from different vendors presents challenges. Unomic has been developing the ELFiNOS platform to support larger and more diverse clients in the manufacturing sector as edge computing and IIoT technologies mature.
The Solution
Unomic transitioned from an open-source mobile framework to a new microservices architecture based on the Akka Platform from Lightbend. This change was driven by the need for a more robust and flexible approach to data stream processing due to increased data volume and velocity from IIoT and edge workloads. The Akka Platform allows for real-time data processing and automation of OEM production lines. Unomic's ELFiNOS platform now serves leading OEMs, enabling them to reduce lead times, cut defect ratios, and boost asset utilization. Additionally, Unomic is piloting a healthcare-informatics-as-a-service solution that uses ELFiNOS machine-learning models to identify early indicators of dementia from MRI scans, with testing underway in six major hospitals in South Korea.

Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
