Facility managers everywhere understand that animal inventory management is never child's play. Manual procedures can take a long time to complete, require a great deal of effort, and come burdened with the risk of human error. Automated barcode reader systems can manage these issues to some degree, but remain labor-intensive, time consuming, and subject to inaccuracies.

Wi-Com Sensus*, powered by Allentown, streamlines and automates the census taking process using cardholders that are imbedded with RFID tags - the same wireless technology employed in access key cards and electronic toll collectors. This high tech approach reduces costs and ensures accuracy for both the facility and the researchers who work there.

With Wi-Com Sensus you can:

•	Perform complete and accurate room readings in as little as 30 seconds
•	Reduce process costs by eliminating labor-intensive cage counting
•	Store facility data in a secure, central, system repository for ease of accessibility & retrieval
•	Manage animal identification from check-in to check-out with a robust software interface
•	Generate pre-configured or user-defined inventory reports for use in chargebacks to individual PI grants
•	Track cage movements easily for regulatory and health management policy compliance
