Currently, staff members are required to manually collect data from refrigerators, freezers, and other types of storage units used to store medication, and chemicals, and either record them on daily log sheets, or collect expired rotary charts. Not only is this practice fraught with numerous inherent problems by relying on human memory and staff already working at their upper limitations, but the ramifications of inaccurate reporting, and the potential negligence of a failing unit, can be extremely costly.

We can monitor a single room or an entire campus.
