Frequently Asked Questions
RevoBricks Cabinets
Revobricks helps hospitals to:
- Control who receives linen, who returns it, and when.
- Clearly distinguish between clean linen and used linen.
- Monitor compliance with proper laundry procedures.
- Reduce linen loss and shortages.
- Provide transparent, auditable data for audits, ISO compliance, and Infection Control (IPC).
No. Revobricks is designed to:
- Not change existing workflows.
- Require staff to simply open the cabinet, take the linen, and close the cabinet.
- Automatically record all transactions using RFID.
- Eliminate manual data entry, manual scanning, and any additional workload.
Currently, the system focuses on:
- Healthcare staff uniforms.
- Medical coats / scrubs.
- Department-specific specialized linen.
Yes, with conditions:
- RBC1 can manage files or documents if they are stored in folders or containers that carry RFID tags.
- Individual loose paper sheets are not trackable.
- Files, binders, or document folders can be tracked as items.
- Suitable for controlled document storage, not for page-level tracking.
Yes, with proper RFID tagging and configuration:
- RBC1 can manage high-value items such as gold or jewelry.
- Items must be tagged with RFID tags designed for metal or high-value assets.
- Cabinet access control + transaction logging provides accountability and traceability.
- For very small items, specialized RFID tags or tagged containers may be required.
Yes. It can manage:
- Metallic tools, Instruments, Equipment parts, Metal-containing items.
- Note: This requires use of metal-compatible RFID tags and proper tag placement.
Yes, with scope considerations.
- RBC1 can manage packaged medicines, medical consumables, controlled drug containers.
- Capabilities include: Tracking who accessed what and when, Inventory visibility, Audit-ready transaction logs.
Note: RBC1 is not a temperature-controlled pharmacy refrigerator.
Yes, indirectly.
- Liquids can be managed when contained in RFID-tagged bottles, boxes, or trays.
- The cabinet tracks the container, not the liquid itself.
Important: Liquids and metal can affect RF performance, so proper tag selection is required.
Special RFID tags attached to the linen are capable of recording washing temperature and wash cycles.
This provides hospitals with data-based evidence that linen has been processed in accordance with regulations, rather than relying on “trust”.
Yes – and this is the core value of Revobricks.
- Prevent medical staff from washing at home.
- Prevent germs brought from homes into the hospital.
- Prevent contaminated linen from returning to clean areas.
- Enable fast traceability in case of infection incidents.
- Provide reliable data for the Infection Control Department (IPC).
Yes. Integration is supported via REST API (e.g., Snipe-IT, Dolibarr) or CSV read/write to Windows shares (for SAP). It can generate reports for audits and ISO compliance.
The cabinet can still be opened using an emergency mechanical lock. Note: When opened without power, transactions are not recorded automatically. We recommend using a UPS to maintain data continuity.
Revobricks cabinets continue to operate normally. All data is stored locally in the cabinet’s memory and automatically synchronized with the server once the network is restored.
No. Revobricks is designed to offer high value at a reasonable cost. Price: $1,000 (approx. 25,000,000 VND) per unit, including both hardware and software.

Yes, very suitable. Revobricks is deployed in a modular architecture, designed with low initial investment, and is easily scalable as the hospital grows.
Fast installation with no disruption to hospital operations. The system can be operational shortly (approx. 1 hour) after handover.
- Reduced legal and compliance risks related to Infection Control.
- Transparent data during inspections and audits.
- Real, measurable digital transformation.
- Enhanced hospital image as a professional and safe healthcare provider.
No. It is much more than a cabinet. Revobricks is a linen management, monitoring, and compliance control system that turns an often-overlooked process into a strategic advantage for hospital safety and governance.
No. Only required to connect new cabinets and configure them in the software. The system scales automatically without affecting existing cabinets.
- Transaction recording via REST APIs.
- Web-based Revobricks software with PostgreSQL backend.
- Integration supported with: Dolibarr, Snipe-IT, or any system supporting REST APIs.
RevoBricks Software
The Revobricks software acts as the data center of the system, enabling hospitals to:
- Monitor linen status in real time.
- View issuance and return history.
- Control compliance with laundering and linen usage.
- Generate reports for Infection Control, ISO, and audits.
No. The software is designed with:
- An intuitive user interface.
- Minimal steps required.
- Clear role-based access control.
- Clinical staff rarely need to use the software, as all data is automatically captured by the cabinets.
Yes. The software supports:
- Role-based permissions (view / manage / administer).
- Data access control.
- Activity logs for internal audits and compliance checks.
Yes. The system displays:
- Quantity of clean linen / in-use linen.
- Status of each cabinet.
- Time-based issuance and return history.
- All data is real-time, transparent, and fully traceable.
Yes. In case of an incident, the software helps to:
- Identify which linen was issued to whom.
- Determine the time of use.
- Verify washing and processing status.
- Reduce traceability time from days or weeks to just minutes.
Yes, integration is supported.
- Integration with HIS, ERP, or internal hospital management systems.
- Data sharing based on hospital requirements.
- Seamless integration without disrupting existing systems.
HIS / ERP integration requires a REST API from the HIS/ERP system.
There are two deployment options, depending on the hospital’s IT policy:
- On-premise server.
- Cloud infrastructure (Contact RevoBricks LLC for details).
Revobricks gives hospitals full control over data storage location. The system can be deployed:
- On an on-premise server located at the hospital or a domestic data center.
- On cloud infrastructure, according to the hospital’s IT policy.

- No Windows / Linux / Android required.
- High stability.
- No frequent updates like conventional operating systems.
Yes. Through dashboards and reports, hospital management can:
- Monitor linen status across the entire hospital.
- Detect abnormalities early.
- Make data-driven decisions, not assumption-based ones.
