Test Equipment tracking:
In last few years, rapid innovations have led to reduced size, increased cost and higher service level requirement for test and measurement equipment. These factors, along with dynamic team structure and high asset mobility are demanding improved and effective asset tracking in various laboratories.
Due to current economic conditions and improved compliance guidelines, companies are re-evaluating their current “asset-id” technologies and business processes for managing valuable lab assets.
Tagit Solutions pioneers in providing the complete solution, from business analysis to user support, for improved management of “test measurement equipment” and “lab assets” in the engineering labs and manufacturing units of technology companies.
Tagit Solutions, since its establishment in 2008, has helped customers like Cisco Systems deploy integrated RFID based asset management solutions and realize 6 times its investment within first 12 months of deployment with:
- Reduced capital expenses
- On-time calibration
- Improved budget control
- Increased operational efficiency
At present, Tagit Solutions is the only solution provider with several production installations of integrated RFID based asset management solution for tracking “test equipment” in hi-tech laboratories.
The industry categorizes “test equipment” under “IT assets” although the business problems and their respective solution approaches are completely different. IT assets are checked out to owners for a relatively longer time, are relatively stationary.
Medical Equipment tracking:
Stringent healthcare regulations mandate hospital facilities and medical clinics to keep a tight control on their medical equipment and their equipment certification process. Locating medical equipment, when needed, is a huge challenge for the clinical engineering teams. The reduced size of equipment and high mobility of such equipment along with their respective patients within and outside the facility makes the problem even worse. Lack of a Real-Time Location System (RTLS) in most hospitals result in reduced utilization and equipment hoarding at nursing stations, which in turn results in very high rate of repurchase of existing equipment.
Although deploying such solutions look rather easy, the limitations of various RTLS technology stacks, proprietary middleware, restricted hardware support and applications without open interfaces make the integration with existing patient registration, billing, and healthcare applications very complex and expensive. Often the HIS and IT teams end up supporting and training the end users on multiple proprietary solutions.
Tagit Solutions, with its product agnostic and ROI centric approach, helps it customers reduce the direct and indirect cost of such deployments by navigating through the confusing buzz of marketing jargons and choosing the “best-fit” solution that meets the short and long-term needs of the customer at an optimal price. Tagit also ensures that customers existing investment in various applications are protected thereby reducing the overhead of training the users on new systems.
