Asset Tracking
We’ve partnered with Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise to provide hospitals and healthcare organisations with solutions that ensure staff, patients, and equipment work together efficiently. When assets are misplaced or staff are hard to locate, treatments can be delayed, workflows slow down, and operational costs rise.
Our asset tracking and contact tracing solutions provide healthcare professionals with real-time visibility of equipment and personnel. This enhances patient care, streamlines operations, and helps to keep patients, visitors, and staff safe. Our solutions are also affordable, with flexible lease options available.
Asset tracking for healthcare
Hospital staff spend valuable time searching for equipment, patients, or colleagues, which could be better spent on patient care. Misplaced or underutilised medical equipment increases operational costs and delays treatments.
High-risk patients, such as elderly individuals prone to wandering, require constant monitoring. In emergencies, quick access to the right staff and equipment can make all the difference.
Every day, critical assets are not where they are needed. A monitor might be sitting unused in another ward, or a pump may have been borrowed and never returned. Even when assets are not lost, they are often hidden in plain sight, underused, untracked, or unaccounted for.
Hidden Equipment Costs
Misplaced or underutilised assets have a significant impact on healthcare operations:
-
Up to 30 minutes per day lost by staff searching for essential medical equipment.
-
Fewer clinical incidents caused by missing devices.
-
Better asset management with hundreds of devices tracked in real time.
-
Optimised workflows so staff can focus on patient care instead of searching for equipment.

Asset Tracking solution components at a glance
OmniAccess Stellar BLE Infrastructure
OmniAccess Stellar AP1201BG BLE (BLuetooth Low Energy) Gateways and Access Points receive signals from asset tags and relay the data to the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista® Cirrus Asset Manager. They can also work via existing Wi-Fi or LAN networks.
Autocalibration beacons provide fixed reference points for the gateways, improving the accuracy of asset location tracking and ensuring reliable real-time visibility.
Mobile BLE Tags for Assets and Staff
Mobile BLE tags (square or card-shaped) offer a simple, non-intrusive way to track equipment and, where needed, people. Built-in accelerometers reduce battery use while keeping movement tracking precise.
Tags also support programmable alerts and can be quickly assigned by scanning their QR code with the app. Each tag can include details such as asset name, department, category, service date, and geonotifications.
