挑戰(zhàn):

Silent Partner Technologies(SPT)是一家專注于資產和庫存管理的RFID系統(tǒng)開發(fā)商，它與JADAK聯系，提供集成的RFID閱讀器。SPT正在設計一個用于緊急醫(yī)療服務的RFID系統(tǒng)，以及消防和其他急救員，以管理他們的庫存。SPT設計了一個名為IntelliView的系統(tǒng)，將RFID閱讀器和天線放置在車輛內，以創(chuàng)建“智能”車輛，房間和/或架子(SmartShelves)。然后將RFID標簽直接放置在設備或醫(yī)療用品上，然后將其存儲在架子，車輛或袋子/鵜鶘箱子中。這可以實現緊急醫(yī)療提供商可以快速確定可用的耗材及其確切位置，簡化補貨并大幅提高根據召回或到期查找和提取物品的能力。

解決方案:

JADAK為SPT提供了ThingMagic Mercury6(M6)RAIN超高頻(UHF)RFID模塊，該模塊能夠連續(xù)讀取區(qū)域內的大量標簽。M6用于SPT客戶的智能房間，貨架，機架和門戶應用程序。當應急提供商提供耗材和庫存以供使用時，SPT的系統(tǒng)能夠自動更新信息，以便快速準確地補充庫存。JADAK為SPT提供了微型模塊，可在SPT IntelliVan應用程序中使用。

“我們已經與JADAK合作了六年多，并且發(fā)現硬件和產品易于使用并集成在我們的系統(tǒng)中，”SPT總裁Ted Kostis說。JADAK的產品多功能性和廣泛的產品線為SPT提供了滿足其所有讀卡器需求的單一來源。

結果：Bonita Springs

Bonita Springs消防控制和救援區(qū)使用SPT的IntelliView解決方案。Bonita Springs有六個不同的位置，每個位置都有豐富的醫(yī)療設備，每個車站都有自己的醫(yī)療供應室。在使用IntelliView解決方案之前，Bonita Springs手動進行了清點，導致遺漏項目、過期日期和代價高昂的錯誤。一旦BonitaSprings安裝了IntelliView RFID系統(tǒng)，就可以通過使用RFID標簽對項目進行計數和跟蹤。讀卡器和天線安裝在其醫(yī)療供應室中，監(jiān)控數量和到期日期，并在數量不足或供應到期時發(fā)出警報。因此，Bonita Springs能夠通過其網站每天監(jiān)控庫存，僅在第一年就節(jié)省了30%的采購成本。這并沒有考慮到在工作時間內所實現的額外的顯著節(jié)省。

結果:南部地鐵

科羅拉多州南地鐵消防局也使用了SPT的IntelliView解決方案。南地鐵運營17個特快專遞站，庫存儲存在其總部。在SPT解決方案之前，對供應品進行計數，并手動驗證到期日期，這需要大量的時間，并導致嚴重的錯誤。South Metro的IntelliView系統(tǒng)使用主動和被動RFID技術跟蹤序列化物品(如麻醉品)和非序列化資產和用品。RFID技術將供應架轉換成智能貨架，用于識別標簽物品。機架上安裝了天線和Jadak的Mercury6固定讀卡器。使用標簽識別物品。IntelliView基于云的軟件包括管理標簽讀取的中間件和庫存管理應用程序。當從智能書架中刪除標記的項目時，會自動檢測到該項目，并實時更新庫存。該軟件還跟蹤產品何時到期，并提供一個日程安排日歷，以監(jiān)控何時需要重新校準項目。項目建成后，救護車離開車站，配備了正確的設備和新鮮藥品，開銷減少了50%。由于實施了IntelliView，South Metro通過將庫存減少一半，在前18個月內實現了投資回報。它還將勞動力成本降低了約400%。

結果:設備管理服務和維修

設備管理服務和維修公司，一家服務和維修醫(yī)療保健和醫(yī)療服務設備的公司，也利用SPT的解決方案來識別需要維護或檢查的緊急醫(yī)療物品，并確保緊急響應人員在接到電話時不會留下昂貴的設備。在應急服務部門，跟蹤設備比固定地點更復雜，因為物品是移動的。SPT的解決方案不僅節(jié)省了設備管理費用，而且在這些救生情況下也節(jié)省了關鍵時間。

優(yōu)點:

許多應急服務提供者是由政府資助的，需要定期對設備和庫存進行審計。資產和庫存RFID系統(tǒng)提供了滿足這些要求的自動化方法。

通過自動化的庫存管理，所需的工時更少，平均效率提高了40%。

通過更準確地監(jiān)控和訂購數量，減少過期醫(yī)療用品的浪費，RFID跟蹤可以大幅減少庫存。許多新興市場組織的庫存成本降低了30-50%。

隨著RFID資產和庫存管理的使用，安全性提高。批次號和召回以及服務計劃可以快速有效地解決。

Emergency Medical Services (EMS)

Inventory Management using RFID

Challenge:

Silent Partner Technologies (SPT), an RFID system developer specializing in asset and inventory management, reached out to JADAK to provide integrated RFIDreaders. SPT was designing an RFID system for Emergency Medical Services, as well as fire and other first responder providers, to manage their inventory. SPT designed a system called IntelliView, placing RFID readers and antennas inside vehicles to create “smart” vehicles, rooms, and/or shelves (SmartShelves). RFID tags are then placed directly on equipment or medical supplies, which are then stored on a shelf, vehicle or in a bag/pelican case. This enables emergency medical providers to quickly identify what supplies are available and their exact location, simplifying replenishment and drastically improving the ability to find and pull items based on recalls or expiration.

Solution:

JADAK provided SPT with its ThingMagic Mercury6 (M6) RAIN Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID module, which is able to continuously read a large volume of tags within an area. The M6 is utilized in SPT’s customers’ smart rooms, shelves, racks, and portal applications. As emergency providers pull supplies and inventory for use, SPT’s system is able to automatically update the information, so that inventory can be quickly and accurately replenished. JADAK provided SPT with its micro-module for use inside the SPT IntelliVan application.

“We’ve been working with JADAK for over six years and have found the hardware and products are easy to use and integrate within our systems,” said Ted Kostis, President of SPT. JADAK’s product versatility and breadth of line provided SPT with a single source for all of its reader needs.

Results: Bonita Springs

Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District uses SPT’s IntelliView solution. Bonita Springs has six different locations, each with an abundance of medical equipment and each station with its own medical supply room. Prior to utilizing the IntelliView solution, Bonita Springs conducted its inventory manually, resulting in missed items, expiration dates and costly mistakes. Once Bonita Springs installed the IntelliView RFID system, items were counted and tracked continuously throughthe use of RFID tags. The readers and antennae,installed in their medical supply rooms, monitor quantities and expiration dates, and send alerts when quantities are low or supplies are expired. As a result, Bonita Springs is able to monitor their inventory daily via their website, which resulted in 30% purchasing savings in the first year alone. And this does not factor in the additional significant savings achieved in personnel hours.

Results: South Metro

South Metro Fire Rescue Authority, Colorado, also uses SPT’s IntelliView solution. South Metro operates 17 EMS stations, with inventory warehoused at its headquarters. Prior to the SPT solution, supplies were counted and expiration dates were verified manually, requiring significant hours and resulting in a high degree of error. The IntelliView system at South Metro used active and passive RFID technology to track both serialized items (such as narcotics) and non-serialized assets and supplies. The RFID technology converted supply racks into smart shelves that identified tagged items. The racks were retrofitted with antennas and a Mercury 6 fixed reader from JADAK. Items were identified using tags. IntelliView’s cloud-based software included middleware to manage tag reads and an inventory management application. When a tagged item is removed from the smart shelf, it is automatically detected and inventory is updated in real time. The software also tracks when products will expire and features a scheduling calendar to monitor when items need to be recalibrated. Following the project’s completion, ambulances left stations with the correct equipment and fresh medicine, and overhead was reduced by 50%. As a result of implementation of IntelliView, South Metro achieved a return on its investment within the first 18 months by cutting its inventory in half. And it reduced its labor costs by an estimated 400%.

Results: Equipment Management Service and Repair

Equipment Management Service and Repair, a company that services and repairs healthcare and medical services equipment, also utilized SPT’s solution to identify emergency medical items requiring maintenance or inspection, and to ensure emergency responders do not leave expensive equipment behind when out on calls. In the emergency services sector, tracking equipment is more complicated than at fixed locations, because items are mobile. SPT’s solution not only saved Equipment Management money, but it also saved critical time during these life-saving situations.

Benefits:

Many emergency service providers are government funded and are required to provide periodic audits of equipment and inventory. An asset and inventory RFID system provides an automated way to meet these requirements.

With automated inventory management, less personnel hours are required, resulting in an average 40% gain in efficiency.

RFID tracking can drastically reduce in-stock inventory through more accurate monitoring and ordering of quantities and less waste of expired medical supplies. Many EMS organizations have seen inventory carrying costs cut by 30-50%.

Safety increases with the use of RFID asset and inventory management. Lot numbers and recalls, as well as service scheduling can be addressed quickly and efficiently.
