The solution to healthcare asset accountability

In the medical field, every second counts. Information and asset accountability must be instantly available and reliably accurate. Our healthcare RFID inventory solution — HIMS — helps hospitals and providers track indispensable assets (beds, stations, and other equipment) and manage high-value consignment products like blood derivatives and specialty pharmaceuticals, all on one platform.

With RFID, staff can locate essential machines and medications in seconds, monitor refrigerated products in real time, invoice automatically as items are used, and eliminate both overstock and stockouts — reducing waste, protecting patient safety, and keeping the supply chain compliant.

What HIMS Healthcare Inventory Does

HIMS (Healthcare Inventory Management Solution) is built for the realities of medical supply chains — drug safety, shortages, refrigeration, consignment, and strict compliance. It tracks a product's entire journey, from delivery to dispensation:

Real-Time Inventory & Asset Tracking

Track indispensable equipment and high-value inventory in real time, without manual counts. Each product is assigned a unique ID and tagged with a man-readable code, barcode, and RFID, so detailed product information is captured automatically and shared between your systems in real time.

Refrigerated Product Monitoring

For temperature-sensitive products, HIMS continuously monitors refrigeration and expiration, sending alerts the moment a product drifts out of range or nears expiry. The system can even track how long an item has been out of the refrigerator and flag whether it may be compromised based on its handling instructions.

Consignment & Automated Replenishment

Manage consignment inventory at customer and care sites with confidence. When products are received, they're checked against the order automatically and any discrepancies are flagged. Real-time data on what's been used drives faster, more accurate replenishment — ending the guesswork, the surprise stockouts, and the over-distribution.

Dispensation Tracking & Automated Invoicing

When an item is removed — scanned in barcode mode or detected automatically by RFID readers — HIMS marks it "out," records the date and time, and can capture who removed it and which patient received it. An invoice is generated automatically unless the item is transferred or returned, closing the loop between usage, billing, and replenishment.

Reconciliation & Compliance

Manual cycle counts and data entry are slow and error-prone. HIMS reconciles physical stock against system records automatically, improving accuracy and speed while strengthening the audit trail providers need to stay compliant.

What an RFID Healthcare Inventory Solution Delivers

In an environment where accuracy is a patient-safety issue, HIMS is built to:

  • Automate manual cycle counts, data entry, and reconciliation
  • Monitor product storage, handling, and expiration at every site
  • Protect patient safety by flagging compromised or expired products
  • Speed replenishment with real-time data on product removal
  • Eliminate overstock, stockouts, and over-distribution
  • Tie usage directly to billing with automated invoicing
  • Strengthen audit and regulatory compliance

Why It Matters in Healthcare

The return on a healthcare RFID deployment is substantial — but the real value is operational: practitioners can locate essential machines and medicines the moment they need them, refrigerated products stay safe, and consignment inventory is always accounted for. RES has delivered RFID inventory and asset tracking across demanding healthcare environments where safety, compliance, and accuracy are non-negotiable.
