RFID Fire Department Software Overview

Fire departments and EMS agencies have to keep track of a wide range of equipment and operation information. The powerful Silent Partner Technologies  RFID Fire Dept software uses an integrated database, RFID tags, barcode labels and graphical user interface so data is entered only one time and accurately. Our RFID fire department application is intuitive and easy to use and web based. The primary module tracks every aspect of inventory; such as equipment, out of service equipment, consumables, pharmaceuticals, expiration dates and maintenance details.

Consumable inventory and equipment tracking are some of the firehouse software modules that are seamlessly integrated for one complete RFID fire department solution. The flexible and modular design means it can be used at fire, rescue, and EMS agencies, regardless of size and number of locations.

Can RFID Track Your Rescue Units and Fire Engines Readiness?

In a fast-paced environment like fire-rescue and EMS, organization and efficiency are critical skills. With the RFID fire department software, your staff no longer worries about not being prepared for an incident or emergency.

Fire rescue and EMS units have a wide range of equipment at their disposal and tracking that equipment can be a challenge. With SPT’s RFID applications, managing your equipment and supplies becomes an automated process that will ultimately save you time and money. What makes this possible is RFID and barcode software that helps you track every last first aid kit, stretcher, and ambulance in your department. Our firehouse software tracks each item by its location, whether it a shelf or an engine.

When you leave the station, your unit or engine is confirmed for that emergency or incident.

Reduce Costly Inventory Errors and Save Time

The RFID inventory tracking module tracks consumable items such as light bulbs or first-aid kits to help reduce shrinkage and allocate resources in the most efficient way such as:

• Keep an accurate count of stock items and know exactly when to reorder.
• Use a hand held computer or “PDA” to scan products in when they arrive.
• Use RFID and barcode to track of who is using something, where it’s being used, and how much is left.

The RFID fire department software flags you a month or two in advance to let me know what will be expiring so you have time to order a new supply. This includes other items with expiration dates, like IV fluids and catheters, sterile gloves and airways.

Firehouse Inventory and equipment physicals are no longer an issue

Are you spending up to three hours a shift just keeping track of inventory? That’s a considerable amount of time that could be spent on other administrative duties. Using RFID in this process can be reduced to just minutes.

Using a hand held computer or PDA to scan the barcoded or RFID tagged products and equipment when they arrive. Keep track of who is using something them, where they’re being used, and how much is left. Using RFID can provide the up-to-the-minute inventory at any time and from any location.

RFID Will Help You Stop Losing Equipment or Finding New Ones

The rotational inventory module in the EMS RFID solution enables you to manage shared equipment. With the fire department software, you know exactly who has borrowed a piece of equipment, where it is presently located, and what day it is due. You can also maintain a history of who has used what equipment, changes to the equipment’s status such as maintenance activity, or any other information you deem important. The process is simple: when an employee takes a piece of equipment from the station, he/she must first check it out by quickly scanning the equipment’s barcode or reading its RFID tag. A record is immediately created that you can reference quickly and easily should you require information on that piece of equipment. The firehouse software provides accountability and efficiency that would otherwise have to be enforced manually, another cost to your department. With SPT’s EMS Rescue RFID and Fire Department software, your department staff is automatically accountable for expensive and often mission critical assets.
