We’re Open with Remote Working

Image
Our services should not be affected by the UK lockdown. We can and do remotely support RFID and software solutions across the globe from our development centre in the UK.  Our development staff are able to continue to provide the same high level of service without the need to come into the office. Systems are supported as far afield as Australia, where Sydney-based  Ranger  use the  CheckedOK  system for safety inspections on lifting and rigging equipment and  Weir Minerals , the multi-national engineering firm, use CheckedOK to record the inspection results for heavy duty pumps across the globe. One of our UK customers who supply and replenish oxygen cylinders to the health industry needed a major upgrade to their system in order to cope with the increased demand from the health service.  Again, this was performed remotely, during the lockdown, showing the current crisis doesn’t interrupt the implementation or support of critical systems. It is busine...

Leading inspection firm gets a lift with our automated reporting solution May 26, 2020  by  Core RFID One of Northern Ireland’s leading lifting inspection and engineering services firms has switched to our services. Fermanagh based  ITS Plant Tech , which counts RTE, Siemens Ireland and GE Energy among its clients, is deploying our CheckedOK solution. CheckedOK  enables equipment inspectors to use a mobile or tablet to input data onsite. Data is automatically updated to a secure hosted database and certification documents will be immediately available for online viewing and download by customers. ITS Plant Tech MD Damien McManus explains the reasons for the move: ‘The automated system we had in place could not be configured as we wanted. CheckedOK is easy to customise and so we can develop it to our needs now and in the future.’ We’ve established a strong presence in the Irish lifting and cranes industry over the past 10 years since Dublin-based Hoistech became the f...

Five ways RFID is Helping the Health Service

Image
  RFID Technology has been helping the NHS, ambulance services, care homes and suppliers to these vital organisations for many years. So how can RFID solutions help these busy organisations work smarter, quicker and more accurately in times of additional pressure? The key ways RFID technology can play its part in helping the challenge health providers are facing:   Monitoring Lone Care Workers Lone care workers need to visit many homebound people during a working day. RFID technology can help to accurately calculate attendance and travel times and so take some pressure of busy staff by automatically producing timesheets. The patients have NFC RFID labels attached at the entry /exit point and the arrival and departure times are automatically logged.  The data is then transferred back to the organisation’s information systems enabling supervisors to see the location of each care worker. Helping Service Providers RFID is used by healthcare suppliers including a firm which hi...
