What Is a Kanban Inventory System?

The Kanban system uses a two-bin setup to control medical supply inventory. When the front bin empties, staff move it to a return rack and pull from the backup bin. An RFID tag attached to the empty bin triggers automatic replenishment.

Features include:

  • Visual bin replenishment system
  • RFID-enabled automation for supply orders
  • Eliminates manual counting and paper logs

How the RFID Two-Bin Process Works

Each bin contains a passive RFID tag. As the front bin is depleted and moved to the return rack, the tag is scanned and logged. This sends a signal to the inventory software, which initiates restocking.

Features:

  • RFID readers installed at return racks
  • System logs usage and sends replenishment alerts
  • Integrates with PAR-level and ERP systems

Benefits Include:

  • Ideal for med-surg supply rooms and clean cores
