METIS is an RFID Kanban system or

empty/full concept developed by Aucxis

which offers a saving of time, user-

friendliness and data security for picking,

replenishment and order processing in all

storage spaces of a hospital or company.

The innovative character manifests itself

through the intuitive and flexible use,

an integrated error checking and the

corresponding convenient software tools.

Automatically create orders based on stock changes?Need for stock monitoring?

METIS WILL DO THIS FOR YOU

METIS is working as a stand-alone order

system or as a transparant module which

transfers information to WMS/ERP/MES

software.

The Aucxis RFID-controlled Kanban inventory system is very advanced but still easy to use. Everyone is very satisfied with the new technology.

METISRFID Kanban System

A Kanban (empty-full) inventory system replenishes stock based on the demand, following a visual Kanban signal.

A well-designed Kanban system ensures a flow that adds just-in-time supplies. This mode of operation implies the FEFO principle (First Expired First Out), avoids stock breach, unnecessary stock and expired products, in other words prevents a waste of money and space.

In the stock room, all empty/full locations are

equipped with a ticket holder with integrated RFID

chip. The ticket holders remain present on the ISO

modules or warehouse racks.

When replenishing or taking away stock of a product,

the operator can shift the cover plate allowing the

centrally based RFID antennas to detect the stock

status in real time.

Identified stock changes are automatically processed

as an order or transferred to the WMS. METIS

contains the required lists and filter modules enabling

the administrator to view data in a quick and

intelligent way and to perform stock monitoring.

RFID ENABLED TICKET HOLDERS

SMART SOFTWARE

METISRFID Kanban System

The stock status of each box catches the eye,

manipulation of the cover plate is very

intuitive and is supported by univocal icons.

ORDER

For maintenance and backup functioning, it is

possible - when using a handheld scanner - to check

the status and functioning per box in real time or to

verify the warehouse’s entire order inventory.

The algorithms recognise human procedural errors as

well as any network or RF interferences throughout

the entire system. The error messages can be

visualised or can inform the administrator via an alert

server.

Optionally - via a management module which is

started from a web browser - METIS and the RFID

reader park can be easily configured and managed by

the system administrator.

In the background of METIS, the Aucxis HERTZ

framework ensures a solid basis and unlimited

extension and integration possibilities with all other

hospital processes.

The central platform allows the customer to process

all logistical scans and detections across the hospital

and to transfer them to different front-end processes

or applications.

HERTZ contains all logic and algorithms required for

the specific detection of the assets, people,

consumables or stock locations concerned...

HERTZ is developed in a generic and modular way and

responds to various future needs or wishes

concerning traceability within the hospital via one

platform. This for barcode, 2D matrix codes, passive

and active RFID tags, applied for assets, people or

consumables, this across the different departments.
