When developing its BioMatrix series of MRI systems, Siemens Healthineers set a clear goal: to address the growing demands of the healthcare sector with intelligent, ergonomic, and forward-looking solutions. To significantly improve the mobility of patient tables, the company turned to TENTE’s innovative drive technology. The result: noticeable relief for healthcare professionals, improved comfort for patients – and time savings of up to 30 per cent during patient admission.
The Challenge: Easing the Burden – in Every Sense
Modern healthcare is under strain: an ageing population, increasing case numbers and a growing shortage of skilled staff are putting pressure on hospitals and clinics. Siemens Healthineers is well acquainted with these realities. In the MRI environment in particular, two priorities stood out – to reduce the physical burden on staff and to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for patients.
One significant obstacle was the sheer weight of the patient tables in use – up to 540 kilograms – making manual handling both strenuous and time-consuming.
The Solution: A Smart Mobility System from TENTE
To sustainably improve the handling of patient tables, TENTE developed a tailored mobility concept for Siemens Healthineers, based on two key innovations:
TENTE’s mobility solution delivers measurable benefits – for medical staff, operational processes and patients alike:
With this implementation, Siemens Healthineers once again demonstrates its commitment to turning technological innovation into real-world value. The successful collaboration with TENTE highlights how targeted enhancements can significantly improve workflows and the overall care experience.
Anne Becker, Global Marketing Manager at Siemens Healthineers, concludes:
“Thanks to TENTE’s innovative solutions, we’ve been able to significantly enhance user-friendliness.”
This optimised mobility solution is far more than a technical upgrade – it’s a lasting contribution to relieving the burden on healthcare professionals and enhancing patient care.

The Solution: A Smart Mobility System from TENTE
To sustainably improve the handling of patient tables, TENTE developed a tailored mobility concept for Siemens Healthineers, based on two key innovations:
- E-Drive: The motorised drive unit actively supports staff during patient transport. Even heavy tables can be manoeuvred with ease – even in tight clinical spaces.
- Linea e-lock: This intelligent electric locking system ensures maximum control and safety. It offers electronic directional and total locking and automatically engages when the control handles are released.
TENTE’s mobility solution delivers measurable benefits – for medical staff, operational processes and patients alike:
- Reduced physical strain: The E-Drive system minimises the effort required to move patient tables, supporting ergonomic workflows and healthier working conditions.
- Increased efficiency: The streamlined handling process cuts time spent on patient admissions by up to 30 per cent – freeing up capacity where it’s needed most.
- Enhanced safety: The Linea e-lock system provides secure automatic locking, reducing the risk of uncontrolled movement and falls.
- Quiet operation: With near-silent functionality, the system fosters a calm and reassuring environment in the examination room.
With this implementation, Siemens Healthineers once again demonstrates its commitment to turning technological innovation into real-world value. The successful collaboration with TENTE highlights how targeted enhancements can significantly improve workflows and the overall care experience.
