Why Storage Put‑away Must Be Scanned

After drugs are received, they must be placed onto correct shelves. Regulations require:

1. Scan shelf / location barcode to bind drug to exact position

2. Scan drug traceability code

3. System automatically verifies correct storage conditions (temperature zone, light protection, refrigerated/frozen requirements)

4. System rejects placement if drug is put into wrong zone (e.g., putting a cold‑chain drug onto an ambient shelf)

Without proper scanning: Drugs go to wrong shelves → expired refrigerated drugs left on room‑temperature shelves → patient safety risk. Regulatory violations. Fines.

With XTIOT scanners: Scan shelf. Scan drug. System verifies. Location bound. Audit trail created.

XTIOT Scanners for Storage Put‑away

🔹 XT8002B – Handheld PDA for Shelf Scanning (Best for pharmacy warehouses)

The XT8002B is an Android handheld PDA with 4G/WiFi, ideal for scanning shelf barcodes and drug codes during put‑away .

🔹 XT3001ER / XT3001BHD – Hands‑Free Ring Scanner (Best for high‑volume put‑away)

The XT3001ER and XT3001BHD are Bluetooth ring scanners worn on the finger, leaving both hands free to handle drug boxes .

Efficiency gain: Workers keep both hands on drug boxes while scanning. 30% faster than handheld PDA for put‑away tasks .

Storage Put‑away Workflow

Standard Drug Put‑away

Worker arrives at shelf location
         ↓
XT8002B PDA scans shelf / location barcode (1 second)
         ↓
Worker scans drug traceability code on box
         ↓
System automatically checks:
   - Is this drug registered for this temperature zone? (cold/refrigerated/ambient)
   - Does this shelf match the required zone?
         ↓
If match: System approves → records drug at exact location
If mismatch: System alerts → worker must find correct zone
         ↓
System records: drug ID, shelf ID, worker ID, timestamp, temperature zone

Time per pallet: 30 seconds. Zero location errors.

Cold Chain Drug Put‑away (Vaccines, Insulin, Biologics)

Worker scans cold storage shelf barcode (refrigerated zone: 2°C to 8°C)
         ↓
Worker scans vaccine traceability code
         ↓
System verifies: vaccine requires 2°C to 8°C storage
         ↓
Shelf matches requirement → approval granted
         ↓
System also logs: current temperature from zone sensor (optional integration)
         ↓
If temperature out of range → system alerts before put‑away

Prevents: Placing cold‑chain drugs onto room‑temperature shelves. Critical for patient safety.
