AssetGather For Lab Asset Tracking
RFID Laboratory Equipment Tracking Software
RFID Laboratory Equipment Tracking Software
Corporations and Government Agencies invest tens of millions of dollars on equipping their labs, regardless of the type of lab - electronic, bio tech, geological, materials, mechanical or industrial. There are multiple stakeholders interested in knowing whether the lab equipment is where it is supposed to be. The most high profile of them are the Finance and Lab management personnel. They have a common need to know whether the inventory of their lab equipment is accurate and if their location is known.
Lab equipment may be fixed or mobile. It is essential to know where lab equipment is at any point of time to save valuable time that may otherwise be wasted by scientists, engineers or medical personnel in locating this equipment.
Lab Inventory managers need to be able to quickly locate equipment when there is a request for it and always keep abreast of which team is using which lab equipment and if it was indeed still being used. Further, the current whereabouts and status of the lab equipment needs to be gathered without impeding the activities of the scientists and technicians.
Handheld RFID reader and/or fixed RFID readers can be used to monitor presence of equipment in lab areas and to perform very accurate and comprehensive inventory audits quickly. With easy lookups in AssetPulse RFID laboratory asset tracking software, engineers, scientists and technicians save valuable time searching for equipment or prototypes.
Additionally, across all industries and with the medical or pharmaceutical specifically, it is essential that lab managers adhere to numerous regulatory compliances to ensure product integrity, which include proper instrument calibration in a timely manner. Lab equipment is sent out to third party calibration centres or in-house calibration teams and a calibration certificate is issued against equipment after validation. Calibration certificate is a mandatory document that is referred for compliance standard prior to producing pharmaceutical products.
As with any manual process, keeping track of calibration certificates and calibration-due-dates is subject to human error.
AssetPulse RFID Lab Equipment Tracking Solution
AssetPulse RFID laboratory asset tracking system facilitates the entire calibration process - from determining which assets need calibration to physically locating them and to processing the post-calibration paperwork.
AssetPulse RFID Laboratory Equipment Management System
AssetPulse RFID Lab inventory management software proactively alerts users of upcoming calibration-due-dates - both via email as well as via software alerts. It also lets the user search the system for a list of assets that need calibration in the short term. They can download asset lists to mobile RFID readers, which enable them to quickly and efficiently locate equipment on the lab floor.
