Several Customers have asked a valad question: "How do we know what is in our Podbox, without having to open it up?" We have teamed up with FreedomRFID from Statesville, NC and NordicID from Atlanta to create the PODTRAQ RFID Asset Mamagement System.

Our solution is quick, easy and will cut man hours and inventory ulcers, immediatly. By taging inventory items with a UHF RFID Tag; entering brief item info into our or an existing logistics system; loading them into: a Podbox, on a storage shelf, in the cabinets of an Ambulance or Response Vehicle; and scan with our "Merlin" handheld RFID Reader....and bingo! There it all is. 

For Incident Response we use a Sampo Gate system so as items roll on and off a response trailer.....items (even in Podboxes) are instantly loge into or out of service! 

Here is a brief sysnopsis from our friends at NordicID on how RFID can assure a positive "Return on Investment" (ROI) and fewer headaches.

We can taylor the system to your needs!

Hospital returns 186% on RFID investment

RFID recently hit the mainstream at a major California hospital when the health centre became one of  the  first  in  the  U.S.  to  jump  high  and  clear  over  the RFID  cost  barrier.  In  May  2010,  Mission Hospital,  the  largest  healthcare provider  in  Orange  County,  rolled  out  a  hybrid  RFID/  infrared tracking system. Mike Kohler, the hospital's Director of Material Management, has never looked back. He pegs ROI to date at 186%.

"I don't know how a large medical centre can continue to maintain all the different parameters they have to and be state of the art without RFID," states Kohler. "It simplifies processes, drives down costs and you can literally raise your ability to care for patients."

The  system  implemented  at  Mission  Hospital  is  designed to  improve logistics by keeping  track  of medical devices. Each carries an RFID tag that tracks whereabouts as well as parameters such as last maintenance and/or cleaning. With a few keystrokes, administrators and medical professionals can locate all devices.  This has boosted device  utilization rates and eliminated equipment rentals and  hoarding,  a  common  problem  in  hospitals  worldwide.  Equipment shrinkage  has  also  dropped from $150,000 per year to zero.
