University Hospital Balgrist
At the University Hospital Balgrist in Zürich two Zippsafe systems have been set up on very limited space. With this, Zippsafe could be made accessible for patients for the first time.
What challenges did the University Hospital Balgrist face?
At the University Hospital Balgrist, space for patient lockers was extremely limited to a room measuring just 5 m². Space efficiency was especially critical due to the room's prominent location on the first floor—an area considered far more valuable than ground-floor spaces. The challenge was finding a solution that could maximize capacity within this tiny footprint while offering a secure and uncomplicated storage system for patient belongings.
Why did the hospital choose Zippsafe?
The hospital chose Zippsafe because no other provider could create the required capacity within such a tight space. Beyond its unmatched space efficiency, Zippsafe stood out for its effortless handling in daily patient workflows and its smooth integration of RFID technology for easy locking.
“Zippsafe has been the only solution on the market, which has it made possible to create 20 places on as a limited space like ours. We are very content with the result – on the first floor, every square meter counts!”

How does Zippsafe meet the requirements of the University Hospital Balgrist?
By installing two ZippSpace systems, the hospital turned a minimal first-floor area into a highly efficient storage space. The workflow is streamlined for patients: upon arrival at reception, they receive an RFID wristband to easily lock and unlock their Locker Bag.
After changing into hospital-provided surgical attire, they store their street clothes securely in the bag. When leaving the hospital, the wristband is returned, making the Locker Bag immediately available for the next patient.
