Having Trouble Finding Equipment or Personnel?
Time and money are perhaps our greatest resources, yet there never seems to be enough of either. One activity that can subtly yet significantly deplete these resources is searching. Staff members wandering around looking for equipment or other personnel causes a drain on employee productiveness. Additionally, replacing equipment that cannot be located, whether it’s misplaced, hidden or even stolen, can get very costly.
Here are a few specific but common examples:
Problem: There is a problem with a HVAC unit in one of your buildings. You are a facilities manager and you know the general vicinity of the unit, but as the repairman arrives to check it, you both start walking around, opening all of the likely closet doors where you think it could be located. Twenty minutes later, you find the affected unit and the repairman gets to work.
Solution: You open your campus’ app and activate CampuSEARCH. You type in HVAC #23456 and click the button. CampuSEARCH shows you the precise location on a map, and with the click of a button you are provided with live, blue-dot, turn-by-turn directions to navigate to within a few feet of the desired location. Once there, another single click on the HVAC Unit brings up all of the technical specifications and maintenance data associated with the unit. The repairman gets started immediately with all the required information at his fingertips. Not only have you saved time and money by eliminating twenty minutes of “searching,” but you have also improved the efficiency and effectiveness of the entire repair.
Problem: Your hospital’s wheelchairs keep “disappearing.” Your hospital “loses” about 10% of your wheelchair fleet annually, as CFO that fact is both unacceptable and expensive.
Solution: CampuSEARCH’s real-time positioning data analysis provides you invaluable insight into how assets move through your campus. You can monitor the travel patterns of the assets through your campus. You can even analyze time and date-specific heatmaps to show the dwell time of assets on any floor and at any time. All this data helps you find wheelchairs that have been left in corners or stuck in closets. Alerts can be set up when any asset leaves its designated area, helping to reduce theft.
