What is Laboratory Equipment Tracking?
Laboratory equipment tracking, or asset tracking, solutions use IoT-enabled sensors such as 射頻識別技術 to monitor the location and usage of laboratory equipment and assets, in order to prevent loss and increase productivity through utilization.
Value Proposition
Laboratory equipment is often used across multiple departments or offices and mistakes it tracking, check-in, or check-out can lead to unnecessary purchases, replacements, and downtime as labs struggle to work around missing equipment. As many labs are under strict budgeting constraints, when an expensive piece of equipment goes missing, they may not be able to replace it at all.
Laboratory equipment tracking solutions enable labs to quickly locate missing equipment, saving time spent looking for it; monitor equipment utilization; and optimize maintenance and calibration schedules to minimize downtime and increase productivity.
How it Works
Most laboratory asset tracking solutions use water-resistant RFID labels to identify and track equipment as it moves through or between labs. These tags are used to check equipment in and out of labs or, if it goes missing, will register on a handheld device that can locate the asset and direct a user to it.
Key Benefits of IoT-Enabled Laboratory Equipment Tracking
- Eliminate time spent looking for lost equipment.
- Receive proactive updates on upcoming maintenance or calibration to optimize maintenance schedules and reduce downtime.
- Complete inventory reports and ensure compliance.
- Automate and optimize processes to reserve lab equipment and return any leased equipment.
