Promega Helix touch-screen interface for on-site stocking program

Promega has released a touch-screen interface for the Helix smart on-site stocking program. The touch screen provides researchers with easy access to relevant information about Promega products, including applications and protocols.

The interface saves researchers time and effort in getting the tools and information they need. Scientists use the touch screens to determine what reagents are available in a unit or in any other units on their location. They can use the interface to email themselves product protocols and safety information, as well as to access additional features.

For Helix on-site freezers, cabinets and refrigerators, a researcher uses the touch screen to verify the unit’s inventory and pricing. Then the customer simply swipes a pass to take what is needed. With its RFID technology and automated system, the unit manages the rest - from the paperwork for purchase, to inventory updates and restocking. The system can integrate the information directly into an organisation’s purchasing system.
