Kanban Inventory Management System | RFID-Enabled Two-Bin Supply Control
Simplify inventory replenishment and eliminate stockouts with a visual two-bin Kanban system. RFID tracking and intuitive bin switching keep supplies moving in hospitals, labs, and clinics.
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
Applications for Clinical & Surgical Environments
Used in hospitals, surgery centers, and labs, Kanban systems streamline stocking of fast-moving consumables. From wound care to PPE, items are always available without overstocking or last-minute requests.
Benefits Include:
- Ideal for med-surg supply rooms and clean cores
- Reduces labor and stockout events
- Promotes lean inventory control across departments
