Inventory automation

The first RFID-based inventory system
that works with your lab.

No smart cabinets required.

Stop stockouts before they stop science. Track lab consumables automatically, so your research never stalls waiting for a restock.

The problem

The hidden cost
of manual inventory.

  • Shortages surfaced too late. By the time someone notices, experiments have stalled and timelines have slipped.
  • Manual counts eat your budget. Labs spend thousands annually counting and reconciling inventory, work that adds zero scientific value.
  • You are accountable for what you can't see. When a stock-out delays research, ops takes the blame, without the tools to have prevented it.

How it works

Passive by design.
Powerful by result.

  • Tag once. RFID tags go on at intake. No ongoing effort required.
  • Track always. Fixed readers detect removals passively. No scanning, no logging.
  • Automated restock lists. Stock below threshold? The system flags it and auto-populates your order form.
  • Accelerate ordering. Restock lists are pushed to your preferred procurement platform or emailed automatically.

The outcome

Research runs.
Overhead shrinks.

Labs that switch from manual inventory to automated RFID tracking eliminate the dual drain of operational overhead and research disruptions, replacing reactive scrambles with proactive, invisible control.

  • Stock-outs become a thing of the past.
    Low stock triggers a restock list and pushes to procurement automatically.
  • Reclaim team time and budget.
    No more manual counts. More time for higher-value priorities.
  • Misplaced items flagged before they become losses.
    If a consumable leaves its zone, the dashboard flags it immediately.
  • Built for teams.
    Role-based access ensures everyone sees what they need.
  • Zero behavior change for scientists.
    No new workflow. No scanning.

Data intelligence

Your inventory data
is a strategic asset.

Every item removed from your stockroom tells a story. Passively collected RFID data doesn't just prevent stockouts; it builds a precise operational picture that reveals how your lab actually runs and where budget is silently leaking.

Money on shelf

See what your inventory is worth, right now.

Your dashboard shows the total dollar value sitting on your shelves in real time. The Money on Shelf Trend report tracks that number over weeks and months, turning your inventory data into a budgeting tool, not a year-end surprise.

Cash flow patterns

Predict demand. Stop reacting to it.

Historical consumption data reveals when your lab orders and why. Recurring cycles and seasonal patterns become forecasting signals, turning budget planning from guesswork into precision.

Operational behavior

Understand how your lab actually operates.

Consumption patterns expose which consumables are tied to specific projects, which teams drive demand, and where inefficiencies are quietly compounding, without a single survey or manual report.

Procurement leverage

Negotiate from a position of knowledge.

When you know exactly how much of what you buy, when, and from whom, you walk into vendor conversations with data. Consolidate suppliers, renegotiate terms, and use volume visibility to your advantage.

Free onsite consultation

Ready to stop counting?

A member of our team will visit your lab and evaluate:

  • Stockroom layout and inventory organization
  • How consumables are received, stocked, and tracked
  • Current reordering workflows and procurement systems
  • Opportunities to reduce stockouts and emergency orders

After the visit, we'll provide a short report outlining practical improvements and potential automation opportunities. We'll also help you import your existing catalog. Just bring an Excel file.
