Round-the-clock supply of equipment
September 1st 2010 Designed to automate the issue
and return of safety
equipment, the Draeger
Rental Robot makes masks, portable
gas detectors and consumables
available at any time – without the
need for human interaction. By
keeping a record of how often
devices are used, it also supports the
material planning process.
Employees simply log on at the
'service station' using a barcode or
RFID. Based on the respective user
data, the Rental Robot identifies
which products the employee may
access and displays each of those
devices on a screen. Optional
information on product can also be
displayed. Using the touch screen,
the desired product can then be
selected and removed. Return of the
equipment is equally easy: Once
identified, the user simply puts the
device back into the compartment.
As well as Draeger products, the
Rental Robot can house other
devices or tools and can
automatically generate a trend
analysis of device use. More articles from Draeger Safety UK Limited: |
