CHEMATIX™
Inventory Management Module |
Inventory Management is a central
feature of CHEMATIX™, providing the big
picture view of chemical tracking and the ability to manage
various aspects of warehouse and laboratory inventory of both
chemical and non-chemical items. A multitude of
user-configurable reports and views can be generated to view
specific location inventories, hazardous chemical counts,
historical profiles, etc. A Chemical Abstract Database
(CAD) is used to store detailed information about every
substance in the system. This detail provides the
foundation for regulatory compliance, environmental safety,
and inventory, research and budget control. All
substances are tracked via scanning (or manual entry) of
barcodes attached to each item upon acceptance into the system
at point of entry. Storage locations including
warehouses, laboratories, and specific shelves are also
assigned barcodes and associated with a chemical inventory.
A complete history of each bar coded item is maintained
from point of entry to elimination as waste.
The main features of this module are:
- tracking of item description, CAS
number, hazard rating, chemical formula, container size and
content, expiration date, MSDS information, chemical origin,
storage location (shipping address, building name and number,
laboratory room number, specific storage location - shelf,
freezer, cabinet, etc.) vendor (manufacturer) name, vendor
catalog number, university catalog number, purchase date, lot
number, inventory count, and chemical transfer history
- chemical status options, such as
shelved, consumed by experiment, discarded as waste or off
shelf
- ability to scan a chemical
container barcode and immediately obtain critical information
about chemical inventory, such as MSDS information, purchase
dates, expiration dates, item descriptions, hazard ratings,
CAS numbers, transfer histories, etc.
- automatic addition of new chemical
items to the system through barcode association of containers
and locations using data captured in the procurement process
- ability to barcode newly created
chemical compounds by laboratory personnel
- ability to designate chemical items
as "Surplus" with corresponding stock items and
locations
- simplified transfer of entire
laboratory inventories to a new location
- instant access to real-time
inventories for every campus location containing chemical
inventory tracked by the system, complete with location
address and responsible owner
- comprehensive and user-defined
report generation of inventory summaries for campus-wide,
departmental and individual laboratory chemical inventory
records by associated personnel (administrators, faculty,
staff, graduate students, etc.) and Environmental Health and
Safety regulators searchable by item description and CAS
number
- sequential generation of barcode
labels (printed with associated 10 digit identifier) for
locations, chemicals, waste and specific storage locations at
the touch of a button
- ability to give detailed names to
barcode storage locations (shelf, freezer, cabinet, etc.)
- configurable e-mail notification to
laboratory and Environmental Health and Safety personnel with
chemical expiry details including expiration date, chemical
name, location, responsible owner, etc.
- ability of users to associate
chemicals with manufacturers/vendors with automatic addition
of new entries to existing lists
- ability to accommodate barcode
scanners to count inventory items in laboratories and
warehouses
- automatic update of store inventory
count and prices upon item receipt from suppliers if desired
- automatic generation of store
replenishment orders as determined by user-configurable
threshold levels if desired
- capacity to charge a store resale
price, specify multiple markup percentages and mark-up item
prices sold either by different mark-ups or flat fees if
desired
