Medical inventory management software empowers healthcare companies to eliminate outdated,

inefficient inventory tracking methods and take control of their inventory with the click of a few buttons.
By utilizing a secure, cloud-based system, teams across care providers can accurately track their entire
medical inventory while keeping tabs on critical information such as supply stock levels, medication
expiration dates, and equipment maintenance details. This means managers and staff will always know
what supplies are available, what medication is about to expire, and where equipment is and who’s
accountable for it.

1. Get a better view of your inventory (literally!)

Sometimes, you just need a visual. When you tag and track your inventory using a inventory
management software, you’ll actually be able to view photos of your medical supplies and equipment
along with important information like the amount of each supply in stock, what needs to be re-ordered,
or even what temperature certain medications need to be stored at. What’s more, inventory
management software allows you to always know where equipment is, who currently has it, and when it
was last used or underwent maintenance. By having a crystal clear view of your inventory, you’ll never
again have to worry about running out of key medical supplies, being surprised by expired medication,
or having lags in patient care due to broken or missing equipment.

2. Save time and reduce operational effort

By letting an inventory management system keep track of your supplies and equipment, staff members
spend far less time focused on tedious inventory-related tasks. Rather than having to weed through
spreadsheets or paperwork to figure out how much of each supply you have left and when it’s time to
order more, an automated system will do this for you. After scanning inventory into the system, you’ll
know exactly how much of each supply you have and receive an alert when it’s time to re-order. In
addition to knowing what you have in your inventory, you’ll also know exactly where it’s being kept. No
more wasting time digging through closets trying to find the last box of gloves.

3. Regain control of your operations

Having an automated system for your medical inventory means you can focus on your business while
feeling confident that your inventory needs are being met. By minimizing the mental and physical
constraints that traditional inventory practices have on care providers and administrators, all staff
members are able to give attention to more important things, such as patient needs. Additionally, since
multiple staff members have access to inventory data, everyone will always know what supplies are in
stock and where important equipment is.
4. Improve accuracy

Replacing spreadsheets or paper trails with inventory management software means a huge increase in
inventory accuracy. Not only is there less chance for human error when it comes to keeping track of
stock levels, expiration dates, or equipment maintenance, but having a secure, cloud-based system
connected to a mobile app means you will get updated inventory information in real time. When
supplies are re-stocked or equipment is checked out, all users who have access to the system can view
the changes right away. This means doctors, nurses, and administrators can avoid confusion or
miscommunication when it comes to inventory updates.

5. Investment protection

You already know—medical equipment is expensive. For any healthcare company, having to replace
instruments or equipment that has been lost or misplaced is extremely costly. Since inventory
management software lets you track where equipment is and who’s accountable for it, you’re able to
protect your investment in the medical equipment and instruments that allow you to provide stellar
patient care.

6. Digitize your data by going paperless

A visual inventory management system not only helps you keep inventory information more organized,
but it also allows you to go paperless. Making the move to help the environment while improving
accuracy, increasing workflow optimization, and providing more time for patient care is a true win-win.

Payroll

Biometric technology offers an advanced verification of human identity used in most schools and
companies for recording the daily attendance (login and logout) and generating the payroll of the
employees. This study uses the biometric technology to address the problems of many companies or
institutions such as employees doing the proxy attendance for their colleagues, stealing company time,
putting in more time in the daily time record (DTR), and increasing the amount of gross payroll resulted
of buddy punching. The researcher developed a system for employee’s attendance and processing of
payroll with the use of fingerprint reader.

Vehicle Over-speed Sensing

Road accidents have been very common in the present world with the prime cause being the careless
driving. The necessity to check this has been very essential and different methods have been used so far.
However with the advancement in the technology, different governing bodies are demanding some sort
of computerized technology to control this problem of over speed driving. At this scenario, we are
proposing a system to detect the vehicle which are being driven above the given maximum speed limit
that the respective roads or highway limits. The overall project is divided in three categories; speed
detection, image acquisition and transfer and image processing. Speed detecting device works on the
principle of Doppler Effect using microwave Doppler radar sensor. The speed is compared with the
preset threshold and camera is triggered if the speed limit exceeds. Acquisition and transfer of image is
done by a HD camera interfaced with raspberry pi. Raspberry pi is connected to the server via internet.
The server runs an Image processing program which isolates the license plate from picture frame. The
characters in the number plate is digitized and sent to the authority residing in the next station where
the vehicle is heading.
