Metro Introduces Advanced Monitoring System at AHRMM11 Annual Conference & Exhibition

Wiles-Barre, PA (PRWEB) August 08, 2011

Metro, a world leader in providing technology, storage and transport solutions for healthcare facilities, today introduced MetroMonitor Dashboard System version 2.0, an intelligent management and monitoring dashboard system for mobile computing workstations. Metro?s enterprise software enables web-based access of workstation performance, including power system and network connectivity, to streamline fleet management and increase workstation uptime.


?In combination with the MetroMobile point-of-care computing workstations, the MetroMonitor Dashboard System allows our customers to pro-actively monitor power systems and computing technology to support fleet readiness and reliability,? said Rob Sobie, vice president of healthcare marketing at Metro. ?This advanced web-based capability can be seamlessly deployed to improve real-time visibility into fleet performance, allowing proactive system management.?


?The System is scalable, designed to meet the needs of virtually any healthcare facility, whether it has 10 workstations or a thousand,? Sobie added. In addition to the centralized dashboard and base reporting, MetroMonitor 2.0 provides alerts when a workstation or group of workstations requires attention. Advanced reporting features, including usage rates, real-time updates on number and type of alerts and other data to support predictive maintenance & efficient fleet management, are also available as optional features.


Metro will showcase the MetroMonitor Dashboard System along with its supply & medication storage & transport solutions, point-of-care computing workstations and automated dispensing systems at the Association for Healthcare Resource & Materials Management (AHRMM) Conference and Exhibition, August 7 ? 10 in Boston, Massachusetts. Metro?s booth (#701) will highlight solutions for nearly every department in healthcare, long-term care and alternative care facilities, from automated medication dispensing to clinical documentation and specialized procedure carts.


?We are excited to launch this important new product at the AHRMM conference to showcase the increasing breadth of our healthcare product family designed to optimize workflow, maximize space and enhance productivity,? said Sobie. ?At AHRMM we will highlight our ongoing focus on creating and launching new technologies and effectively integrating them to improve clinician efficiency and enhanced workflow. We will continue to leverage our combined capabilities and the strength of Emerson?s global resources to swiftly respond to the changing needs of customers and make Metro the product line and partner of choice.?
