Retailers readily admit how difficult it is to keep accurate inventory without RFID. Many estimate that inventory accuracy is only about 65 percent when conducted manually.

Imagine how much more problematic inventory accuracy becomes when you’re dealing with items stored at ultra low temperatures between -50ºC and -86°C.

Aside from manual errors that occur during inventory, products are also suspect to spoilage due to the increased time that freezer doors are open while searching for product.

Enter the RFID enabled ultra low temperature freezer that was introduced by Terso Solutions last week. Geared toward research labs, healthcare providers, manufacturers and distributors, and forensic facilities, the freezer makes better use of freezer space, eliminates manual processes, lowers maintenance costs, and protects high value products such as tissue, biosamples, genetic material, and reagents.

“The success of our -20°C RFID enabled freezer led our customers to request a solution for managing their biosample and tissue inventory, which needs to be stored between -50ºC and -86°C,” said Joe Pleshek, chief executive officer at Terso Solutions.

“Our integrated RFID solution can reduce the time spent opening doors to search for product, and eliminate manual inventory cycle counts. The new ULT freezer not only eliminates manual processes, but ensures that all items stored inside are fresh and free of degradation due to age, temperature, or improper storage.”
