The Ariel Expiration Date and Lot Number Tracking System is a highly automated and labor efficient control and validation system based on our popular RIC32 (remote inventory control) platform.  The system uses lightweight portable bar code readers to capture bar coded data, including lot and expiration dates, for items as they are stocked or removed.  Items are flagged immediately if they are near or past their expiration date.  The system also explicitly tracks item lot numbers, so you can search to view all lot numbers on any item that has ever been received into the system, and if the item is still in circulation at your facility today.  The system can read existing manufacturer bar codes or you can print and apply bar code labels for items that need them. 

A wide range of reporting options are available to meet any situation. The system maintains a full history of all issue and return activity for the inventory areas.  Separate inventories are easily maintained and tracked for each inventory area and can be reported individually or consolidated as necessary.  You can print reports showing items nearing their expiration by xx days, or all locations for a particular item in order by expiration date. 

The Expiration Date Tracking System uses the latest technology in portable bar code readers, exceptionally durable but lightweight units with an integral noncontact bar code scanner, touchscreen, and backlit display.   These units have proven very popular in a wide variety of healthcare operations, and are available with both batch and radio frequency (RF) communications options. 

Suitable for use in pharmacies, cath labs, radiology units, or any area where expiration and lot management are critical to operations.  Bar coding makes it fast, easy, and accurate!  Take advantage of the bar code information already encoded on your packaging by your product manufacturer or area distributor to improve your internal efficiencies and to eliminate old and outdated supplies.  The system can also print any bar code information needed that isn't already on the manufacturer's product labeling.
