Every hospital and medical device leader knows the feeling when something important is missing and everyone is scrambling to find it. A bed, a pump, a sterile tray, a specimen, a loaner kit. It happens every day, and each missing item slows the workflow, increases stress, and erodes confidence in the system.
On April 22, 2026, that challenge — and the solutions already reshaping healthcare — will take center stage. ID Integration and Zebra Technologies are joining forces to host the Track & Trace Transformation Summit in Lincolnshire, Illinois. The one-day, executive-level forum focuses on how RFID and AI are helping hospitals and manufacturers build more reliable, connected, and efficient operations.
Why Visibility Matters Now
Healthcare is operating under intense pressure. Staffing is tight, budgets are strained, and compliance demands continue to grow. Meanwhile, patients and clinicians expect faster, safer, and more coordinated care.
Technology cannot solve every challenge, but real-time visibility can eliminate the guesswork that fuels delays, loss, and manual effort. RFID shows teams where assets, trays, and specimens are at any moment. Combined with AI, that same visibility becomes predictive, enabling leaders to anticipate needs, reduce waste, and ensure nothing critical slips through the cracks.
Picture a surgical tray that’s always ready before the surgeon asks, or a pump that’s easy to find instead of hiding in another department. Picture specimens moving through the hospital with complete chain-of-custody confidence. Picture device manufacturers tracking inventory from cleanroom to customer, improving quality and recall readiness.
That kind of visibility isn’t futuristic anymore. It’s already happening in hospitals that have decided to take control of their data.
About the Summit
Designed as a working forum, the Track & Trace Transformation Summit 2026 is not a typical conference. It brings together healthcare executives, operations leaders, IT specialists, and medical device manufacturers for a full day of shared learning and problem-solving.
Throughout the day, participants will hear from early adopters who have deployed RFID and AI to improve utilization, reduce loss, strengthen compliance, and gain measurable ROI. Speakers will share what worked, what didn’t, and what’s next.
Session highlights include:
- Why Now: How today’s healthcare challenges make digital traceability essential
- RFID + AI in Action: The foundation of smarter, connected hospital systems
- Hospital Transformation Stories: Real results and measurable ROI from early adopters
- Scaling and Governance: What it takes to expand beyond pilot projects
- 90-Day Planning Workshop: Build a practical action plan for your organization
Between sessions, attendees can grab coffee, see live demonstrations, and connect directly with experts and peers who are facing the same challenges in their own facilities.
Who Should Attend
This event is for professionals who are ready to drive meaningful changes in their organizations, including:
• Hospital operations and supply chain leaders
• IT and clinical engineering teams
• Compliance, safety, and quality specialists
• Medical device manufacturing executives
If you’re looking to improve asset visibility, reduce waste, and strengthen operational efficiency, this Summit will give you the insights and tools to make it happen.
