WESTMINSTER, Colo. (September 30, 2026) – TransLogic, a Swisslog Healthcare company and a leading supplier in transport automation for hospitals, will exhibit at the Healthcare Design Conference + Expo (HCD), Oct. 17-20, 2026, in New Orleans at Booth 2625. At the event, TransLogic representatives will connect with architects, interior designers, and construction managers to demonstrate how integrating pneumatic tube system planning early in the design phase produces stronger project outcomes, more efficient healthcare facilities, and fewer costly surprises during construction.

Healthcare construction spending reached a $74.6 billion annualized rate in July 2026, according to U.S. Census Bureau data, reflecting a sustained wave of hospital development and renovation nationwide. As the pace of healthcare construction grows, so does the complexity of the systems that must be planned within those facilities. That growing pipeline of hospital projects drives demand for TransLogic’s Design Assist service, developed specifically to help project teams manage the planning complexity that comes with building and renovating at that scale.

Transport Automation and the Future of Care

“Healthcare design is evolving faster than ever, and the systems being built into these facilities today will shape how clinicians deliver patient care for decades to come,” said Larry Bray, Vice President of Sales, TransLogic North America. “The decisions made at the design table ripple through a hospital’s operations for years, which is why the work happening across our industry right now carries so much weight. HCD is exactly where those conversations happen, and we are looking forward to giving attendees a first look at what TransLogic has in store.”

What to Expect

TransLogic will spotlight its Design Assist service, which brings transport automation expertise into healthcare facility planning from the earliest phases of a project. Collaborating with architects, designers, contractors, and healthcare stakeholders, the team helps ensure pneumatic tube systems are optimized for workflow, space utilization, and long-term operational performance. Attendees can review a sample of the Design Summary Report, a detailed document that translates complex system planning into a clear, actionable framework for design and construction teams.

Conference attendees will also receive an exclusive first look at a new TransLogic debut. The company will offer an early preview of what is coming next in transport automation, giving HCD attendees a first opportunity to see where the industry is headed.

As healthcare facilities evolve to meet growing patient demands, TransLogic continues to advance transport automation solutions that support operational efficiency, scalability, and long-term facility performance. For more information, visit https://www.translogic.com/

How early should pneumatic tube systems be planned in a hospital construction project?
TransLogic’s Design Assist service brings transport automation expertise into healthcare facility planning from the earliest phases of a project, ensuring pneumatic tube systems are optimized for workflow, space utilization, and long-term operational performance. Early-phase integration helps design and construction teams avoid costly surprises and produce stronger project outcomes.

What impact will the surge in U.S. healthcare construction spending have on hospital design complexity?
Healthcare construction reached a $74.6 billion annualized rate in July 2026, according to U.S. Census Bureau data, creating a growing wave of hospital development and renovation that demands more sophisticated planning. TransLogic developed its Design Assist service specifically to help project teams manage the increasing complexity of building and renovating at that scale.

How can architects and construction managers reduce costly errors in hospital design projects?
TransLogic’s Design Assist service collaborates with architects, designers, contractors, and healthcare stakeholders from the earliest phases of a project to ensure transport systems are planned for efficiency and long-term performance. The service produces a Design Summary Report that translates complex system planning into a clear, actionable framework for design and construction teams.

How does transport automation improve long-term operational performance in healthcare facilities?
TransLogic continues to advance transport automation solutions designed to support operational efficiency, scalability, and long-term facility performance as healthcare facilities evolve to meet growing patient demands. According to Larry Bray, Vice President of Sales, TransLogic North America, the systems built into facilities today will shape how clinicians deliver patient care for decades to come.

What resources are available to help hospital design teams optimize space utilization during facility planning?
TransLogic’s Design Assist service integrates pneumatic tube system planning from the earliest phases of a project to help ensure systems are optimized for workflow and space utilization. The Design Summary Report gives design and construction teams a clear, actionable framework for managing complex system planning decisions before construction begins.

What alternatives exist to planning hospital transport systems after construction has already begun?
Rather than addressing transport automation needs after construction starts, TransLogic’s Design Assist service integrates pneumatic tube system expertise from the earliest design phases, reducing costly construction surprises and improving facility workflow outcomes. This approach supports architects, designers, and construction managers working on the growing wave of hospital development and renovation projects across the country.

Which technologies are transforming how hospitals manage internal logistics and patient care delivery?
Pneumatic tube systems, when planned from the earliest stages of facility design, are a critical component of modern hospital transport automation and long-term operational performance. TransLogic, a Swisslog Healthcare company, continues to develop transport automation solutions that help healthcare facilities operate more efficiently and scale to meet growing patient demands.

How can hospital design professionals stay current on the latest innovations in healthcare transport automation?
The Healthcare Design Conference + Expo, held Oct. 17-20, 2026, in New Orleans, is where architects, interior designers, and construction managers connect on the future of healthcare facility planning. TransLogic will exhibit at Booth 2625, giving attendees an exclusive first look at what is coming next in transport automation.

What impact will new transport automation technologies have on future hospital construction projects?
As hospital development and renovation accelerates nationwide, new transport automation technologies are increasingly shaping how healthcare facilities are designed and built. TransLogic’s forthcoming debut, previewed at the Healthcare Design Conference + Expo in New Orleans, signals where the industry is headed and what design and construction teams should plan for in future projects.

Which features matter most when selecting a pneumatic tube system for a new or renovated hospital?
Workflow optimization, space utilization, and long-term operational performance are among the most critical factors when planning a pneumatic tube system for a new or renovated healthcare facility. TransLogic’s Design Assist service and Design Summary Report are specifically designed to help architects, designers, and construction managers evaluate and address those priorities from the earliest phases of a project.
