In today's fast-paced surgical environments, sterile processing departments (SPD) face rising pressure to deliver accuracy, speed, and accountability. Technology is no longer optional—it's a necessity to meet these standards while supporting technician efficiency. With the complexity of instrumentation, especially in cases like ENT trays, traditional manual tracking can slow processes and leave room for errors. Solutions like CensiTrac are transforming this space by enabling visual and data-driven guidance that streamlines tray assembly and documentation. By integrating photo-based verification and robust reporting tools, SPDs can now reduce assembly time, improve traceability, and foster fair evaluations among staff. The result isn't just faster processing—it's stronger team morale and better alignment on performance. To understand how these gains are playing out on the ground, meet Alex Yanez, SPD Manager at Texas Health Flower Mound, as he shares firsthand how CensiTrac is changing the game.

It's Alex Yanez, SD manager for Texas Health Flower Mound. It's advanced, It's, knowledgeable, and it's time saving. It's, the faster process. So as a SPV manager, the goal is to provide tools of any aspect to get the technician to do the trades accurately and as fast as possible. Right? So with SensiTrack, it allows you to implement the technology whether it's pictures, descriptions, or any aspect of that to ensure the technician is just working on that tray and breaking that flow of process. Right now, it's like basically just account shoots and because of that, because I can upload pictures and not only does I have the the correct, if you will, serial number or reference number, but you can also match it on with, pictures. We find that really easy to do when you have things that can't be implemented, like anything that's plastic or, the type of material that you can't key dot at the end of the day. Right? A lot of that happens with ENT instrumentation. It seems to be like a level three. So it takes the technician about an hour and a half to complete that. So subtract, we can cut that down about forty five minutes. One of the best things was, what they call reports on the employee aspect. So you had a variance where employees thought they were doing more than the other one or vice versa. But with SensiTrak, you can run generated reports that tells you the actual accumulation of sets the technician is doing or any aspect of the job, whether they're scanning into loads, whether they're putting away instrumentation, or whether they're doing decon work. It kinda helps evaluate them, and it gives them kinda a fair share of what what they should be getting paid at the end of the year. You need to jump on board really, really quick. There's a lot of competitors out there. We need to learn how to utilize SensiTrak. There's nothing else like it. It doesn't even come close.

End users made up 37% of InfoComm 2026's 28,132 attendees

End users made up 37% of InfoComm 2026's 28,132 attendees

AVIXA reports InfoComm 2026 drew 28,132 verified attendees from 94 countries to Las Vegas, with end users making up 37%. Microsoft and Cisco keynotes centered on AI agents for the meeting room. For enterprise workplace and IT teams, the June attendance mix and cross-platform AI pitches are timely as fall buying decisions approach.

  • 01A 37% end-user share at a pro AV trade show is a usable benchmark: more than one in three badges belonged to organizations that deploy the equipment, suggesting exhibitors may be demoing more directly to customers.
  • 02A sharper question to put to a collaboration vendor before the demo is which platform an AI meeting feature actually runs on. According to AVIXA, Cisco framed intelligent systems and open collaboration ecosystems as working across platforms including Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom, while Microsoft tied its voice agents to Teams Phone and Teams Rooms.
  • 03The 170-meter Cat5e reach BZBGEAR's Matt Richards cited to CE Pro for the XTREME-PRO, part of the XLink-ONE family that took Best of Show at InfoComm 2026 from AV Technology, is a manufacturer spec, not an independent test; for facilities with runs past 100 meters it is worth a bench check before fiber is designed out.
