Asset Visibility
• Location of parts and toolkits in manufacturing facilities • Location of medical equipment and patients in hospitals • Location of vehicles in distribution centers and yards
• Temperature monitoring of hospital refrigerators/freezers • Cold chain monitoring • In motion or not in motion
• Requires maintenance/cleaning • Operational status (i.e. available, in use) • Requires assistance
• Did it arrive at its destination? • Does the amount of assets meet par level?
Lack of visibility of critical assets is a problem with substantial business impact

Case Studies
Freescale – Semiconductor Manufacturer Workers previously conducted manual searches for
thousands of work-in-process lots each day causing long cycle times and production disruptions
Unique solution for pinpointing wafer lots on each rack Throughput increased by 6.8% On time delivery improved by 13%
Viracon – Glass Manufacturer Manual searches for glass carriers previously caused
long cycle times and ineffective labor utilization Lost glass carriers resulted in reproduction and scrap Leveraged Wi-Fi for low TCO and 6-month payback Increased productivity, increased throughput,
65% scrap reduction

“When we see that a particular device is not in a patient care area for several days at a time, we can use that information to follow up and improve a process. Has it been waiting for repair all this time?” “We can track what we have and how it’s used to better understand what we need. We can be assured of compliance with JCAHO regulations for preventive maintenance.” UMC Tucson Hospital
