CYBRA's EdgeMagic Improves Inventory Tracking at Elite Medical Supply
May 09 2012 - 10:00AM
Elite Medical Supply of New York has improved their operational
efficiency by deploying CYBRA Corporation's (OTC BB: CYRP.OB)
EdgeMagic® asset tracking solution to track medical supplies in
their inventory at their West Seneca warehouse location.
Elite Medical Supply is a Durable Medical Equipment supplier
that specializes in disorders of the spine. They decided to replace
their former manual process of adding and removing items from their
inventory in favor of using bar code technology to minimize
displacement and easily locate medical supplies. Before
adopting CYBRA's tracking solution, Elite had a labor-intensive
manual process for receiving and tracking and had no way of
determining how much product was in any location aside from their
main storage. Inventory management was done the old
fashioned way by counting stock regularly to determine reorder
needs.
CYBRA's solution had Elite's personnel affix unique bar code
labels to every medical item in their inventory. When supplies
arrive, a staff member scans the bar code with a hand-held scanner
and this executes a "check-in" by clicking a button which performs
the action automatically. When a staff member needs to ship an
order to a customer, they select the "check-out" operation, enter
the order number and each product item is scanned. Scanned data
updates the EdgeMagic Inventory database reflecting changes to the
inventory once the check-in or check-out is confirmed. As products
in inventory drop below a predetermined level an alert is triggered
to remind staff to reorder that particular item.
Chuck Roskow, CYBRA VP of Operations, stated, "Bar Code
technology is proven to reduce human errors in data collection.
When combined with the powerful query and reporting capabilities of
our EdgeMagic RFID and Bar Code Software, CYBRA offers HME (Home
Medical Equipment) and DME suppliers a proven, industrial strength
solution for Medicare compliance."
Starting in 2009, Elite was at the forefront of the trend by
implementing CYBRA's bar-code tracking system. During the three
years since, Elite's staff members have noticed a drop in errors
associated with their stock and locating missing supplies became
effortless. Dennis Abrahamson, Inventory Manager at Elite Medical
Supply comments, "We can have an average of 189 pieces a month of
average value of $500 each in transit, so being able to keep track
of that is critical". Mr. Abrahamson adds, "We could not have grown
as quickly as we have without the CYBRA system."
Now Elite's personnel are able to locate all supplies in any
inventory location quickly and efficiently with custom reports and
location history for any specific product at any time, and their
staff can easily track and know when to reorder products with a
click of a button.
