Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use multiple cabinet types across different departments?

Yes — most hospitals deploy a combination. For example: Medication Cabinets in pharmacy and ICU, OT Cabinets in the operation theatre, and General Supply Cabinets in central stores. All cabinets connect to a single dashboard for hospital-wide visibility.

Can the cabinets integrate with our existing HIS or EMR system?

Medication and OT cabinets support HIS/EMR integration. Our team will assess your existing system during the consultation and confirm compatibility before installation.

What is the minimum order for RFID cabinet deployment?

There is no minimum order. Hospitals can start with a single cabinet in one department and expand over time. Contact us for a phased deployment plan.

How long does installation take?

A single cabinet can be installed and configured in 1–2 days. A full hospital deployment typically follows a phased 8–16 week rollout plan.
