Repetitive product cycle counts and ordering processes can slow down hospital staff with time-consuming tasks and storeroom visits that decrease overall clinical supply chain efficiency. The Cardinal Health WaveMark AutoOrder Shelf unburdens staff and replenishes consumable products faster. The solution integrates RFID demand signal technology to automate consumable product replenishment; incorporating easy-to-adopt processes into existing clinical workflows.
As supplies are used, empty bins are placed on the AutoOrder Shelf. Advanced demand signal technology automatically detects empty bins and systematically triggers orders, achieving:
- Faster time-to-order: Instant, automated ordering eliminates the time between when a bin is empty and a replenishment order is placed, improving product availability and minimizing stockouts.
- Improved staff efficiency: Automation reduces inventory tasks and touchpoints to improve productivity.
- Streamlined workflows: ordering processes are simplified, reducing touches and enabling areas where Supply Chain cannot be present on a regular basis, like ASCs and non-acute facilities.
AutoOrder Shelf is the newest innovation for the WaveMark Medical Consumables Solution, which was also recently enhanced with the Electronic Shelf Label System. Using WaveMark Solutions, hospital systems can gain the industry’s most reliable, real time data for consumable inventory usage, and enhance management processes with innovative RFID demand signal technology.
