Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District has reduced its inventory spending by 30 percent through the use of RFID technology to prevent duplicate ordering and expirations. The district’s crews and equipment (including seven vehicles) are located at six different stations, and it stores medical equipment and supplies within its vehicles, as well as station storage areas and a central medical supply room that acts as a distribution center for all stations and trucks. Before the RFID technology was installed, inventory management was performed manually, which made the process both labor-intensive and error-prone. Learn how the organization continues to tag assets, including approximately 6,000 medical items and 1,500 pieces of equipment, and how its long-term plan is to tag almost every item that passes through its stations.
