Biotech Firms Get Integrated Vending And Wireless To Manage Logistics
cStar Technologies Inc. announces its entry into the
biotechnology lab equipment sector. cStar, a wireless
data communication company, is proud to launch
e-Dispense, a system that dispenses life science
products like a vending machine. A wireless data
connection allows the system to be located almost
anywhere. The e-Dispense system was designed to offer
the vending machine convenience for laboratory,
pharmaceutical and hospital settings. Inventory can be
stocked at any temperature. Life science products such
as reagents and enzymes can be dispensed from the
machine's chilled or frozen storage conditions while
hospital medications and instruments can be stocked at
room temperature. Authorized users select and dispense
restrictive products unattended anytime using personal
swipe cards. A card can be assigned to dispense only
select items from the machine based on the user's
qualification and needs for inventory control. Wireless
data transfer replaces manual stockroom record keeping.
The manual process of supplying and documenting
restrictive products to staff is inefficient and prone
to recording errors. Wireless transmitters relay
activity to suppliers and management for accountability
(who is using what), inventory management, quality
control, and supply chain management. Wireless allows
e-Dispense units to be located anywhere and is not
dependent on proximity or the need to install a wired
network connection.
