The city of Little Rock Fire Department uses IntelliView from Silent Partner Technologies to track medical supplies and will move towards assets with a future phased rollout. For the medical supplies, they use the RFID inventory and asset tracking for Fire & EMS to reorder and replenish supplies at their main logistics. They also use it for daily counts and truck checks of medical supplies. The system keeps track of expirations and lot numbers in the event of a recall the items can be found within minutes. The last seen location of the items is updated on every count, if the counts are done daily there is a pretty good idea of where the item currently resides. With the seeker function of the handheld, the tag information can be entered and the tag in question found within seconds.
