We're just completing a great project that had our design team digging deep to offer a custom solution to a customer. The customer recognized the need to have enhanced security over medications and supplies within the wall mounted medication cabinet inside the patient room.

Our NetLock system offers complete audit trail and ease of use by allowing the caregiver to open the cabinet with the pass of a proximity card.

The inside of the cabinet was custom fitted to hold various supplies and also has medication shelve has adjustable height. On the bottom of the cabinet are bins used to store McKesson medication envelopes and loose medications.

Our new Netlock, LAN-based, power over ethernet locking system is gaining significant traction in the industry. The word is out that we have THE solution to keep medications secure and auditable.

Another cool feature of the lock is that the lock combinations are controlled through a central database. The caregiver uses the same card as they "clock in" with and that they use to gain access to other areas of the facility. Now all the systems can be accessed using the same card. No more forgotten combinations or lost keys to access medications.

When the caregiver holds their card up to the medication box, the card reader records the user data and verifies permissions. If the caregiver has been authorized, the entry is recorded and sent to the administrator. If the caregiver does NOT have authorization, the attempted entry is also recorded and sent to the administrator. Now a facility can see who is trying to get into areas where they do not belong.
