The challenge
Clinical teams share mobile devices that must work at the start of every shift. When devices are left on counters, in pockets or on the wrong ward, the next shift starts by hunting for them. Some are found with dead batteries; others are never found. Infection-control teams also need confidence that shared devices are cleaned between users. IT support is thin overnight, so problems at 3 a.m. wait until morning.
Shift-start device hunts
Clinicians spend time locating shared devices instead of caring for patients.
Dead batteries
Devices left out of chargers are unusable when the next shift needs them.
Infection-control concerns
Shared devices pass between many hands without consistent cleaning.
If nothing changes: Time spent searching for devices is clinical time lost, and missing devices must be replaced from constrained budgets.
Keep every shared device charged, clean and accounted for at shift change
Signifi HD smart lockers provide dense, powered storage for shared clinical devices. Staff check devices out with a badge and return them at the end of the shift, where they charge in place. Optional UV lights disinfect compartments and contents, and nanocoated touchscreens reduce bacteria transfer. SignifiVISION shows which devices are available, charging or overdue on each unit.
How it works
Badge in at shift start
Clinicians authenticate and collect a charged device.
Return and charge
Devices are returned to powered compartments at shift end.
Sanitize and track
UV sanitization runs and SignifiVISION flags missing or overdue devices.

Common questions
Can smart lockers sanitize devices?
Signifi lockers can be fitted with UV lights that disinfect the compartment and its contents, and touchscreens use a nanocoating designed to prevent the transmission of harmful bacteria.
Do devices charge while stored?
Yes. HD smart lockers support powered compartments, so devices charge while they wait for the next user.
How much space do HD smart lockers need?
HD smart lockers are designed to be space-saving, providing high-density storage for check-in and check-out in compact footprints suited to nurse stations and ward corridors.
