Asset management is all about efficiency, productivity, and control—IDAS delivers on all three through passive RFID technology. The FDA’s Integrated Digital Asset System or IDAS, pronounced “e-dus,” simplifies laboratory asset management by integrating passive RFID with electronic lab notebooks. Whether tracking chemicals, samples, equipment, or consumables, IDAS enables real-time visibility, streamlined ordering, and seamless resource sharing—empowering lab staff to focus more on research and less on manual tasks.
The president and CEO of ID Integration, Inc., Gary Moe, will discuss how to harness the power of IDAS at his upcoming seminar: FDA IDAS RFID Laboratory Asset Tracking Solution at RFID Journal LIVE!, 11:55 am, May 6th, Paris Hotel, in Las Vegas. Check out the conference agenda for the entire event and register to attend.
IDAS isn’t just a concept. It’s an operational system already used in FDA labs to simplify the management of chemicals, equipment, supplies, and samples. The result is fluid collaboration and efficiency that frees your team from time-consuming administrative tasks. Imagine more free time for focused research collaboration, reliable inventory control, and a reduction in manual workloads. IDAS makes it all possible. The FDA Office of Testing and Research (OTR) and Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) require IDAS for inventory management.
Passive RFID technology holds the key to security and access control of sensitive inventory data. With an evaluation of the physical labs and the installation and implementation of RFID tech, you’re good to go.
IDAS must support 4 categories of asset classes:
- Chemicals and Solvents used in OTR labs
- Laboratory supplies stored in a central location (such as pipettes, glassware, etc.)
- Lab equipment
- Samples received from other offices and those generated within the DPQR (Division of Product Quality Research within the FDA)
Then IDAS needs to incorporate both barcode and RFID technologies to effectively track and manage inventory across the different categories. Use Passive RFID to easily tackle work-in-process visibility, tool tracking and calibration certification, management of expired chemicals, and industry regulation compliance.
In Gary’s RFID Journal Live! session, you’ll discover how Passive RFID checks all the boxes for IDAS inventory management:
- No need to be in line-of-sight to track chemicals, samples, equipment, and supplies
- Data collection is automated to say good-bye to manual errors
- Off-the-chart improvement of traceability and compliance
- Easeful resource sharing and enhanced laboratory efficiency
Stop wasting your budget on missing chemicals. With RFID, you’ll always know what you have, where it is, and when it expires. Locate and identify using RFID—Find the item in the precise location or cabinet quickly. Ensure use of an item before it expires, and set warnings for chemicals that are nearing expiration.
