Lab Implements NFC Reader to Improve Traceability

In order to achieve these objectives AML partnered with the StimLabs team to create a custom solution that also included software development. StimLabs ultimately chose AML’s Striker Mobile Computer for its ability to capture data using an NFC Reader and an integrated 2D barcode scanner. The Striker allowed technicians to capture specific data points without having to manually enter the data on a desktop computer. Limiting human touchpoints in the lab was an ideal situation for StimLabs that operates in a cleanroom environment. The data captured by the Striker also needed to automatically feed into a local webserver to store the information. This is where the software development aspect came into play. With guidance from StimLabs, a custom software solution was developed by AML to capture specific data including equipment numbers, calibration dates, and material lot numbers.
