Terso Solutions, Inc., located in Madison, Wisconsin, USA, is the developer and distributor of an automated system for storage and distribution of high value research reagents and medical supplies. Terso has developed a [reagent stocking system, which uses radio frequency identification (RFID) tags along with secure access control, linked to the internet. These combined technologies allow Terso to securely track and manage inventory remotely.
Developed initially as an on-site inventory supplier for Promega products, the privately held Terso Solutions, Inc. was spun off from Promega Corporation in 2005. In February 2010, Terso Solutions formed Terso GmbH in Mannheim, Germany, in response to increasing demand for its RFID units in Europe.
Terso Solutions offers RFID-enabled cabinets, refrigerators and freezers as part of an automated inventory management system for healthcare. Terso’s products are typically used in cath labs, emergency rooms, and hospital supply rooms. Benefits hospitals realize from Terso’s units include improved regulatory compliance, expiration date management, reduced manual inventory processes and secure, 24/7 real-time access to high value inventory.
Terso Solutions’ RFID-enabled cabinets, refrigerators and freezers are used by biotechnology and biopharmaceutical laboratories. Labs and the manufacturers and distributors who supply them use Terso’s products to gain more secure control over inventory, ensure product integrity through 24/7 temperature monitoring, expiration date management and by eliminating surprise product outages.
Radio-frequency identification or RFID tags work by emitting radio waves, either actively or passively, which allow the object or item carrying the tag, to be identified. Active RFID tags involve a power source such as a battery and emit signals, while passive devices require a scanning or reading device for signal identification. Tags can be worn, attached to or implanted in an object. Microchips used in pet animals such as cats and dogs work by RFID. When an animal is found, if it has a microchip bearing an RFID device implanted, the animal can be scanned and the owner’s contact information transmitted. Terso Solutions supply cabinets and freezers provide temperature-controlled storage and on-site location of supplies. This allows 24/7 access to research reagents, as well as automated inventory control. The cabinets and freezers provide secured access, so that only authorized users can remove the products. This controlled access, combined with RFID tags, allows real-time tracking of products and is designed to allow easy inventory assessment and timely restocking as the supply of reagents is depleted.
