cStar's e-Dispense™ system is a remote-monitored
vending apparatus for life science products, including reagents,
enzymes and controlled narcotics, which need to be stored in
chilled or frozen environments. A wirelessly-enabled dispensing
system, e-Dispense™ uses wide area
networks and Spread Spectrum local area networks to provide
controlled, 24-hour access to products in a secure, paperless
environment.
e-Dispense™ is a true on-line, real-time, end-to-end turnkey solution that offers: |
- ISO magnetic stripe card compatibility
- encoding equipment
- vending equipment
- glass front advertising
- wireless local or wide area networking
- comprehensive e-commerce management
- product and machine support and
- back-end software necessary for automated billing.
|
e-Dispense™ also provides advanced tactile support,
ensuring compatibility with varying product-packaging formats;
it's an ideal turnkey solution for boosting marketing incentive
programs and eliminating product shortages.
e-Dispense™ provides authorized users with
around-the-clock access to climate-sensitive and restricted
medical and life science products, while automatically managing
and tracking inventory, compiling accurate sales data and
logging all machine activity. Only users with authorized swipe
cards can access the dispensing apparatus and administrators can
remotely view a comprehensive log of user statistics and product
sales for a given machine, in real-time, via encrypted web
pages.
Automated inventory and supply chain management
eliminates the chance that a dispensing apparatus will sell-out
of a crucial product when it's needed most. And e-Dispense™'s
automated security function monitors machine
temperatures and alerts administrators to temperature
fluctuations and system errors in real-time - so e-Dispense™ users
get the products they need, when they need them, in a secure,
automated environment.
