CHALLENGE: AUTOMATE INTERNAL LOGISTICS

Following the RFID implementation in Home Pro PLC., the company is interested to extend our RFID Fleet Visibility in the new warehouse.  The company would like to have a better visibility on its loading operation and the status of trailer within its new warehouse.

SOLUTION

Identify RFID Fleet Visibility Solution has been developed to support this expansion.   Since all of his trailers are attached with RFID tags, the company just needs to install only RFID readers and RFID antennas in the loading bays.  The 48 RFID antennas are installed in the loading bays having 1 antenna per 1 bay.  After the installation, the new loading bay are added into our system.  The key information of the loading bay operation will be forward to the center data base after the reader at the bay reads RFID tag in the trailer.  The warehouse staff is able to know which loading bay is in used and which one is not.  Among the using ones, he can monitor if the loading operation is under KPI or not in order to increase the operation.   

RESULTS

  • Give better visibility on trailer
  • Eliminate human operation such as data entry or etc.

CHALLENGE: AUTOMATE POOL ASSET MENAGEMENT

The investment in pool assets such as syringe pump, feeding pump, infusion pump or ventilator is critical issue in many hospitals.  An effective management on this type of asset is needed.   Having this asset more than the usage can be an over investment.  On the contrary, if the number of this asset fails to cope with the demand, it can cause serious problem in the hospital operation.  Identify RFID Pool Asset Management Solution is developed to enhance the management on this asset.        

SOLUTION

Each asset is tagged with a RFID label.  An RFID reader is installed at the exit of the pool storage area.  Before taking the asset out for usage, the nurse has to enter the HN number which will use this equipment.   When the tag in the equipment is read by the reader, the system will automatically associate the equipment with the HN number and record this transaction into the data base.  After the usage and returning the equipment to the pool storage area, the reader at the entrance will automatically record this return.  Our software will match the returned equipment with the exit ones.   Any mis-matched or not return items will be notified in our software.  In addition, the system will calculate the usage period and the charge on the use of the equipment for individual HN.  Hospital will use this information to charge to his patient properly.

 RESULTS

  • Eliminate human data entry.  The whole process becomes paperless
  • Equipment status is digitalized in measurable format, while makes it possible to monitor and improve operation.
  • Effectively plan the appropriate quantity of each equipment  
  • The usage can be charged to each client on the actual usage period, not on the estimation.

CHALLENGE: LOW VISIBILITY ON PRODUCT ON SITES

Many companies would like to increase the stock visibility of their products on client sites.  To increase the visibility, the companies may need to assign their staff to visit client sites more frequently and this can result in the increase of investment simultaneously.  Under this circumstance, it is the complicate task for companies to balance between the increase in investment and the better stock visibility.  Our RFID Intelligent Cabinet has been developed to solve this issue by improving stock visibility without increasing investment.

SOLUTION

Each product being stored in the cabinet is attached with a passive RFID label.  The RFID label is associated with product information including lot number, batch number, product description and expiry date or etc.   Our cabinet is embedded with RFID reader and cloud server connection.  The user just simply puts the product into the cabinet.  The system will automatically check an inventory of the cabinet on schedule basis.  Manual checking or bar code scanning is not needed.  After reading, the RFID tag ID will be sent to cloud server.  Our software will associate tag ID with its information and send a report via e-mail to the authorized person on daily basis.  The report will inform the current stock balance, the recommended quantity for replenishment and highlight any expired items.    

RESULTS

  • Eliminate manual counting
  • Minimizing product expiry-related costs.
  • Reduce inventory cost
  • Reduce site visit time and its related investment
  • Eliminate the potential of using the expiry products.
