ChemSW introduced in August 2002 a new Portable Inventory Manager (PIM) option for its CIS chemical inventory system
The PIM, featuring sophisticated bar-coding capabilities, is said to be ideal for companies and universities that need to track the movement and cost accounting of chemicals from stock rooms.
The system ensures chemical security in addition to automatically generating invoices to the appropriate cost centres, labs, grants, etc.
"Current events have resulted in heightened awareness of chemical security, and many organizations have discovered that access to dangerous chemicals may be too easy," commented Brian Stafford, president of ChemSW.
"We were already developing this system as a point-of-sale tool.
"Now we're applying the technology with many companies and Universities to create chemical security in stock room environments".
CIS Pro and the PIM capability track, on a real-time basis, exactly who is in possession of every chemical that leaves the stock room.
It allows the security and financial responsibility to move as the actual chemicals are relocated.
