Light Speed Associator (LISA)
Benefits
How the Light Speed Associator works with the RFID Discovery platform
LISA simplifies the process of adding new stock to the RFiD Discovery platform.
- Attach an RFID label
Apply a passive RFID label to the product. Labels can be either pre-printed or blank, depending on your requirements.
- Pass the item by LISA
The device reads both the GS1 barcode and the RFID tag simultaneously.
- Automatic data capture
Product data contained in the GS1 barcode is automatically extracted, including:
- GTIN (Global Trade Item Number)
- Expiry date
- Batch or lot number
- Manufactured date
- Serial number (if applicable)
- Instant database registration
The RFID tag is automatically associated with the product data and saved in the RFiD Discovery database.
This process dramatically accelerates the onboarding of new stock items while ensuring accuracy and traceability.
Key benefits
- Register large numbers of incoming medical products in seconds, significantly speeding up the stock receiving process.
- Automatic barcode decoding removes the need for manual typing of product information, saving time.
- Automated data capture ensures accuracy for critical data such as batch numbers and expiry dates.
- Instantly link each product to a unique RFID tag, enabling real-time tracking throughout its lifecycle.
- LISA works directly with the RFiD Discovery healthcare stock management platform, ensuring product data is immediately available within the system.
Perfect companion for RFID cabinets and smart carts
LISA is designed to work alongside RFiD Discovery’s automated storage and tracking solutions.
Ideal for high-value healthcare products
LISA is particularly valuable for healthcare environments managing high-value, regulated or critical inventory, including:
- Orthopaedic and surgical implants
- Controlled drugs
- Trauma trays
- Medical devices with serialisation
- Emergency care inventory
These items require accurate tracking and traceability, making automated registration essential.
RFID Smart Cabinets
When stocking RFID smart cabinets, LISA enables rapid registration of tagged items before placing them into the cabinet.
Resus and Sepsis Modular Carts
Emergency carts must be stocked quickly and accurately. LISA allows products to be registered and tagged in seconds before being placed into RFiD Discovery’s resus and sepsis modular carts
A faster workflow for connected healthcare inventory
By combining RFID technology, GS1 barcode scanning, and automated database integration, LISA creates a streamlined workflow for healthcare inventory management.
When used with the RFiD Discovery stock management platform, RFID smart cabinets, and modular emergency carts, LISA ensures that every item entering the system is:
- Correctly identified
- Automatically registered
- Instantly traceable
This results in faster operations, improved accuracy, and enhanced patient safety.
