Riding on the digital transformation drive of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), TCM decoction service is a vital link in TCM healthcare. The industry currently faces major challenges including inconsistent decoction quality, low operational efficiency, insufficient traceability and difficulties in standardization. To address these pain points, Donghuayuan launches the AI Intelligent Fully Automatic Decoction Cabin. It delivers an intelligentialized decoction solution featuring phased deployment and flexible expansion, enabling comprehensive service upgrading for medical institutions and TCM decoction service providers.
I. Basic Specifications & Fully Automatic Functions
Equipped with 30 standard decoction stations, the cabin can process 250 to 300 prescriptions within 10 hours, covering an area of merely about 30 square meters. It is widely applicable to hospital outpatient departments, decoction centers and small TCM preparation workshops. The whole process including water adding, herb soaking, intelligent decocting, labeling & packaging, residue discharging and automatic cleaning is fully unmanned.
II. Three Core Innovative Advantages
1. Intelligent Restoration of Ancient Techniques with Strict Quality Control
Compliant with national regulations on TCM decoction, the built-in intelligent system automatically identifies special requirements such as decoct first, add later, first decoction and second decoction, and executes corresponding procedures. Customizable decoction parameters and automatic regulation of strong and mild fire perfectly restore traditional decoction techniques.
Built-in temperature sensors generate real-time temperature curves, forming an exclusive file for each prescription to ensure authentic and tamper-proof traceability. Multiple automatic squeezes during decoction raise the extraction rate of active ingredients to 82%, far exceeding the national standard of 50%. It supports two working modes: bag decoction with squeezing function and bulk decoction with stirring device to prevent burning, meeting diverse usage demands.
2. Modular Design for Flexible Layout, Energy Saving & Higher Productivity
With a compact structure, it greatly improves space utilization compared with conventional bulky equipment. Two layout options are available:
Integrated type: Suits standard regular venues with easy installation.
Distributed type: Separated functional modules can be freely combined for renovated venues and irregular spaces.
Multiple units can be connected in parallel to build large-scale production systems. Devices can be started or shut down on demand to avoid energy waste. Single-point equipment failure will not affect the overall operation. Standardized spare parts also facilitate daily maintenance and enhance system stability.
3. Full-process Digital Traceability & Multi-dimensional Management Upgrade
The supporting intelligent management platform realizes full-link digital control from prescription receipt to delivery.
For patients: Scan the code to check prescription progress, decoction details, medication guidance and logistics information for transparent services.
For managers: Real-time monitoring of equipment status, production load and working progress, alongside AI scheduling and fault early warning for efficient operation.
For institutions: Big data dashboards convert experience-based management into data-driven scientific decision-making, supporting precise resource allocation, cost control and lean operation.
III. Core Value
Against the backdrop of intelligent and digital development of TCM, this cabin connects prescription review, decoction, packaging and delivery, and builds a standardized, replicable and traceable modern decoction system. It is not only an intelligent device for efficiency improvement and quality stabilization, but also a key solution for medical and decoction enterprises to achieve digital transformation and build core competitiveness. It helps deliver high-quality TCM services to the public.
