Asset and inventory management in healthcare is a complicated issue, but keeping those critical medical assets and supplies safe, accounted for, and properly stocked should never be an issue. The simple adoption of an inventory or asset management software like Wasp’s InventoryCloud or AssetCloud is the solution.
Automate Check-In/Check-Out
Track where your fixed assets are, who has your assets, and when your assets are due back. Checking out assets allows you to assign responsibility to an employee, a customer, or even a vendor. Checking in assets releases end user responsibility and allows the assets to be reallocated throughout your organization.

ASSET AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT’S CRITICAL ROLE IN HEALTHCARE
Heart monitors, beds, medications, face masks, respirators and wheelchairs are only some of the critical medical supplies and devices that healthcare providers need to stay safe while saving lives during the COVID-19 pandemic. With so much at stake, the last thing anyone should have to worry about is an inadequate inventory or asset management system. However, one of the unfortunate consequences of the pandemic has been the exposure of severe flaws in how many organisations are inadequately equipped to manage critical medical inventory and assets. The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way. Wasp Barcode Technologies offers proven cloud-based or on premises solutions for healthcare providers which can manage these supplies effectively so you can stop worrying about manual processes and focus on patient care. InventoryCloud can help you maintain accurate stock counts, reduce errors, and avoid manual entry of items, location bins, pick orders, and inventory receiving. Real-time inventory reports enable you to compile and analyse essential data, like transactions by department. Maintain oversight and visibility over your inventory levels thanks to InventoryCloud’s compatibility with iOS, Android, or Wasp mobile computer devices. InventoryCloud’s web-based solution enables you to manage inventory at multiple hospitals or clinics, without all the locations needing to be on the same network. When lives are on the line, every second counts. That’s why InventoryCloud allows you to receive instant notifications of events such as low stock levels, expiring items, late orders, checked-out items past due and more by setting custom triggers, so you don’t run out of items needed for critical care again. AssetCloud can help you quickly find exactly what you need with smart views and a conditional search feature. Stay compliant with regulations by quickly generating reports on all your assets, such as where they are, when they were used last, which have been sterilized, what you’re running low on, and more. Mobile flexibility helps your team stay connected and up-to-date on asset activity wherever you and your assets go. Spend less time on manual processes and tracking and more time focusing on the best care for patients. Asset and inventory management in healthcare is a complicated issue, but keeping those critical medical assets and supplies safe, accounted for, and properly stocked should never be an issue.

RFID asset tracking solutions are focusing on advancing fixed RFID readers by integrating sensors and other communication technologies through which users can track their assets. RFID asset tracking and management solutions help to manage information such as item quantities, personnel assignments and maintenance needs. The purpose of tracking and monitoring systems is to track the movement of physical assets via barcode, RFID and GPS technologies. The increasing demand for better tracking and management solutions across the different industry sectors is a major factor for the growth of asset and inventory management solutions. RFID asset tracking solutions are focusing on advancing fixed RFID readers by integrating sensors and other communication technologies through which users can track their assets. Vendors in the fixed RFID reader market are also focusing on integrating fixed RFID readers with IoT and Big Data Platforms to identify an object and its real-time location. “RFID solutions give you the real-time asset visibility you need to streamline operations, maximize asset utilization and error-proof asset-related data.” https://www.hardcat.com/2019/02/07/rfid-asset-management/ RFID asset tracking systems are a cost-saving organizational tool. Used by large warehouse operations and businesses with expensive and/or mission-critical movable items, that might travel around a single facility or between multiple locations. Major benefits of RFID asset tracking with fixed-readers. Tracking assets automatically with an RFID solution offers two major benefits; automated workflows relating to asset movements and automated asset data collection. You no longer need to manually enter data when issuing and returning or moving items. Fixed RFID readers (attached to walls, ceilings or doorways) will scan the RFID tags for you, and record the locations as the item moves around. Eliminating clerical errors and keeping your asset register up-to-date in real-time. “Reach higher efficiency and productivity levels, compliance and effective asset utilization by integrating your solution to enable the unification of job processes.” https://www.hardcat.com/asset-management-services/integraton How do RFID fixed readers work? Simply put, an RFID tag is attached to an item and a record is created in the asset register, locally, on a server or in the cloud. The item is then deployed to a location. When the item is subsequently moved, the fixed RFID readers will pick up the RFID tag signaling movement and record the location change. Creating an audit trail, or chain of custody. Adding further processes such as maintenance and procurement provides for:
Choosing a cloud-based RFID asset tracking solution is even better! It keeps all your recorded data secure with simultaneous backups. Utilize operational budget rather than make a capital purchase to smooth out the cost of deploying your solution and to satisfy budgetary considerations and approval processes. RFID asset tracking coverage zones Deploy fixed readers to cover entry and exit points within a location, for the areas you want to monitor assets within. For more precise asset movements within a large area, ceiling or wall deployment will create a more comprehensive coverage zone. So, you can track a tagged asset’s exit, entry or transition movements between these locations automatically “TIP: Scale your coverage zones. Start with your most important locations, and expand as the proof-of-concept bears fruit. Start with doorway readers for simple “locate, identify or authenticate items tagged within an area”. https://www.hardcat.com/asset-management-services/asset-management-consulting/ RFID asset and people tracking – CCTV security The deployment and use of RFID technology are growing rapidly across all types of industries. The RFID technology is used not only in traditional applications, such as asset and inventory tracking but also for security in unmanned locations. When you combine asset tracking with CCTV, you have an automated solution for unmanned high-security areas. This type of solution triggers a CCTV camera to take photos of persons entering or leaving a location who do not comply with the requirements of the organisation. Rasing a work order containing the photo as well as RFID tag details of both the asset(s) and the person in question. And routing that information to security automatically for follow-up. Pilot an RFID asset tracking solution How Hardcat and RFID fixed readers work together How do fixed RFID readers fit into the Hardcat solution landscape? A Hardcat location is mapped to each RFID reader, so we can track the “last known location” movement transactions of multiple assets and personnel moving through a reader “field” or “gateway”. Hardcat’s Sentinel is a very true form of RFID in that the solution handles identification and location of items, while the back-end of the Hardcat (or Lebosi) software delivers a capability to manage the lifecycle of assets, tools and equipment along with a means to connect (authenticate) and engage with the items. Hardcat Sentinel is an application that utilizes fixed RFID readers positioned at strategic locations indoors or outdoors. The application reads RFID tags moving through doorways or locations, automatically checking items and personnel in and out of locations. For real-time asset tracking! https://www.hardcat.com/2019/04/29/rfid-security-people-assets/ Hardcat Sentinel with CCTV is an important deterrent in areas without physical security as RFID readers (installed at prominent entry and exit points) will automatically detect unauthorized assets and people moving in and out of these locations. Everything you need for RFID asset tracking We supply everything you need to maximize the benefits of RFID in your organisation. Our team will work with you to choose the correct RFID tags and readers, and the all-important Hardcat software that ties it all together!

Tool Crib Organization Tactics To Help Your Business Succeed Being able to find your tools efficiently is crucial for your business to thrive. Using the right tool for the job is a wise adage. If you want to use the tool you have to be able to find it efficiently. When it comes to a tool belt or tool box this isn’t hard. For companies and manufacturers that need enough tools to fill a room or more, keeping track of tools and being able to access them efficiently can become critical to your bottom line and your organization’s overall success. Tool crib management is the science and art of organizing your tools. Some large organizations have dedicated tool crib managers. In many small or midsize businesses the owner or inventory manager will have to fill this role. Even for the most organized individual, it can be a challenge to keep a tool crib operating at top efficiency. The Importance of Tool Crib Management Not all tool cribs are created equal. From a firehouse to a manufacturer to a mom and pop repair shop, tool cribs are as varied as the industries that need them. “I’ve seen countless cribs over the past 35 years and I still see different arrangements all the time,” Roy Taylor, a district sales manager for astorage equipment manufacturer, told MRO Today. “It’s amazing how diverse they can be.” Bottom line, you have to know what you have, where it’s going and where it’s been. Despite the diversity, all tool cribs still fulfil the same basic function. “Bottom line, you have to know what you have, where it’s going and where it’s been,” explained Jim Wilson to MRO Today. Wilson is a parts and equipment manager who runs a 44,000 square foot facility for Team Green, an auto racing outfit that’s claimed Indianapolis 500 and Indy circuit points titles over the past four years. He understands the importance of tool crib management for his winning team. Having What You Need When You Need It The most important thing your tool crib does is make sure you have your tools when you need them. The importance of this can’t be underestimated. For fire fighters having the right equipment can be a matter of public safety and saving lives. Jamie Pugh, liaison officer for Lipscomb Fire & Rescue, told Wasp Barcode, “Since we’re 100% volunteer, it is important for us to be efficient. And for safety purposes, it’s vital our equipment tracking be very accurate. If our tracking isn’t accurate, we aren’t able to provide the public safety services we are committed to provide.” Preventing Accidental Loss and Theft Tool cribs are also critical to preventing accidental losses and intentional thefts. When you have expensive tools spread around your company the opportunity for theft will increase and the likelihood of someone just leaving an item out is much higher. As Paladin Private Security began to grow it also saw a rise in minor theft of assets, as well as, inadvertent losses. Losses included several laptops, valued at over $2,000 each, a Taser weapon, and fuel cards used for filling patrol cars with gas. The lack of a reliable tracking system resulted in countless hours of investigative expense to resolve each of these issues. “Once we knew an asset was missing, we spent even more time trying to figure out who had it last,” Matt Carroll, a vice president and co-founder for Paladin, explained to Wasp Barcode. “We wasted hours literally chasing our tails looking for missing items. In today’s environment, we could hardly afford to lose high-dollar items such as laptops anymore.”
Principles of Good Tool Crib Management
Each company will approach the physical organization of its tool crib differently based on what they need and what they have. There are common principles for “good” tool crib management that apply to all.
Dedicated Tool Crib Manager
You need to have to have an individual or small team that is in charge of managing your tool crib. It doesn’t have to be their only job, though for many organizations it should be. Effective Organization System Alphabetical, numerical, function, color, size, etc. it doesn’t matter what it is, if you want an organized tool crib you need a system. Find something that works for your company, if the same tools are used for the same jobs it might make sense to organize them by job. With a large variety of items, an alphabetical system can often work well. Whatever it is, find a system, implement it, and stick to it. Regularly Update Your Tool Crib Database It may seem natural to keep your asset information in a basic Excel spreadsheet or even worse a pen and paper system, but if you do you are asking for trouble. Barcode labels make it easy to automatically log information with a scan and eliminate the potential for human data entry error. Check-in and Check-out Policy Any tool crib needs a check in and check out policy so they can account for where tools are and who used them last. Using a simple paper check out sheet may seem appealing but it won’t work for long and is easy to cheat. Electronic systems are usually the best. Barcodes can make check in and check out a breeze. Secure Location Tool cribs need to keep your tools safe. No one likes to think about their employees stealing from them, but it happens. One of the leading contributors to fraud and theft is opportunity – in this case access to the tools. Keep your tools organized in a secure location that is only accessible to the tool crib managers and select management. This way you reduce the risk of theft by employees or outsiders. Quick Tips for Effective Tool Crib Management
Automate Check-In/Check-Out
Track where your assets are, who has your assets, and when your assets are due back. Checking out assets allows you to assign responsibility to an employee, a customer, or even a vendor.
