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.
