RFID Kanban Inventory Management
Hospitals epicenters of activity never stop for a single second, because many times, lives to depend on what happens there. A critical part of the solution hospitals and their personnel provide to patients involves all supplies from every day to critical care. Nurses and other caregivers must be sure that these supplies are consistently available.
In the past, keeping track of medical supplies was very difficult, with so many staff members accessing the same supply stock. Along with the typical hospital floor or department’s hectic pace, it was easy for stock to be depleted and not replaced, allowing critical supply inventory to fall short.
That’s why Pegasus created EZ Swipe. This revolutionary RFID-based failsafe inventory alert system can save up to 50% in labor costs, improve the morale of hospital staff and optimize patient care.
EZ Swipe works with the Pegasus Kanban system. So once the last supply is depleted from the front bin, all it takes is a simple swipe of the EZ Swipe slider to change the green in-stock position to the red on order position. At that point, an RFID signal is sent to the cloud, indicating that the supplies in that specific bin need replacing. The signal is then sent in the form of a pick order from the cloud, usually to an iPad or email address in the materials management warehouse.
Materials management personnel picked the applicable orders from the shelves, placed them on a trolley. And deliver them to the various storage areas within the hospital from where the easy swipe signals came. The materials management personnel move the older supplies from the back bin to the front bin.
Refill the backbend with a full stock of the depleted supplies. And move the EZ Swipe slider from the on-order indicator to in stock with a simple swipe of the hand with EZ Swipe by Pegasus. It really is just that easy to make sure hospital personnel and nurses have all the critical supplies they need.
RFID Based Failsafe Medical Inventory Alert System
RFID-based Failsafe Medical Inventory Alert System is an integrated system which uses Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to maintain a close, reliable inventory of medical supplies and provide a timely alert to medical staff of shortages and expirations. The system offers a fast, reliable, and automated way to manage medical inventory and alert medical professionals of stock levels and expiration dates.
RFID-based Failsafe Medical Inventory Alert System is composed of 3 components, including an RFID transponder, a handheld reader, and a computer terminal
The RFID transponder is attached to existing or new medical items, such as medication or medical devices. When an RFID reader is passed over an item, the transponder is activated and sends its unique identity to the reader. This allows the reader to quickly identify the item, its type, and its location in the medical facility.
The system captures the item’s data, such as the expiration date and quantity, in the communication between the reader and the RFID tag.
The information is immediately sent to a computer terminal, which stores the information and triggers an alert if stock levels are low or expiration dates are approaching. The terminal also allows medical staff to easily search for specific items, adjust stock levels, and set expiration dates.
By using RFID transponders, the Failsafe Medical Inventory Alert System is able to help medical professionals quickly keep track of inventory and prevent medication or medical device errors.
The system keeps an updated inventory of all medical supplies, allowing for timely and accurate reordering when stocks run low. The system also helps to ensure that expired items are removed from the inventory and replaced before they can be used. In addition, the system provides a notification service to alert medical staff of expiration dates, stock levels, and potential supply issues.
Overall, RFID-based Failsafe Medical Inventory Alert System is an efficient and reliable system which helps healthcare professionals and facilities to efficiently manage their medical inventory.
This system allows medical staff to quickly identify and re-order medical items while being alerted of stock levels and expiration dates. The system will also help to reduce medical errors, as well as ensure that expired items are removed quickly, helping to provide a safe and quality service to patients.
