Helmer, Inc. of Noblesville, Indiana and ASD Healthcare announced today that they have been selected by START-IT Magazine to receive the 2008 Technology and Business Award in the Pharmaceutical Division at the 11th Annual T&B Awards Ceremony. The T&B Awards recognize manufacturers who have collaborated to provide innovative, technological solutions to complex customer needs. “The manufacturers being honored here tonight truly define ‘excellence in manufacturing’, said Peggy Smedley, editorial director of START-IT.
Helmer, ASD Healthcare, Blue Vector Systems, RF Code, and Microsoft partnered together to develop an RFID-based consignment system for Inventory Management in hospital pharmacies that dramatically reduces hospital inventory costs for the storage of high valued pharmaceuticals.
Helmer i.Series® Medical Refrigerators are an integral part of the Cubixx RFID Inventory Management Solution. These specialized refrigerators provide a constant stream of temperature and inventory data that is downloaded from the hospital pharmacy to ASD headquarters in Texas. Centralized temperature monitoring allows for greater security of high valued items. Just In Time inventory practices also allow for a reduction in inventory assets, as well as elimination of costly outdating of inventory.
