The application runs as a web service allowing easy access by an administrator anywhere on your network via a web browser. Carts on your network will automatically 'call home' to Power Manager, announce themselves and request to be managed, and then periodically 'call home' to report power system data. Power Manager provides administrators with detailed control over power system data logging, alarm thresholds, and notification rules used for real-time alarm notification. Data from cart power systems throughout your fleet is continuously pushed up to and stored in Power Manager for later review. Robust data mining and reporting tools are available to analyze collected cart power system data, or you can export the data for further analysis by 3rd party tools. Power Manager also keeps track of the last two wireless access points used by each cart to call home, thus providing a simple way to track recent movement of carts and to determine the last known location of carts that have gone offline. Power Manager can be used with all Howard carts. SOFWARE: Power Display - a web-based tool that runs on the local computing device on each cart providing direct access to power supply data as well as communication with Power Manager. Power Display also provides a small on-screen battery fuel gauge that displays real-time battery capacity and charging state. The web interface provided by Power Display allows you to view the cart s real-time power data, power data logs, and event data logs from a browser either locally at the cart or from any location on the network. The Power Display background service, which is transparent to local users, handles communication with Power Manager to periodically call home and report power system data. SOFTWARE: Med Manager a web-based tool for remote management of cart settings and med drawer access permissions on your entire fleet of Howard Medical carts. The application runs as a web service allowing easy access by an administrator anywhere on your network via a web browser. Carts on your network will automatically 'call home' to Med Manager, announce themselves and request to be managed, and then periodically ' call home' to check for new data. Med Manager provides administrators with detailed control over cart behavior and user permissions individually or in groups. Data from carts throughout your fleet is continuously pushed up to and stored in Med Manager for later review, including general cart configuration data and detailed information about who accessed which drawers and when. Robust data mining and reporting tools are available to analyze cart, user, and med drawer access data, or you can export the data for further analysis by 3rd party tools. Med Manager also keeps track of the last two wireless access points used by each cart to call home, thus providing a simple way to track recent movement of carts and to determine the last known location of carts that have gone offline. Med Manager can be used with all Howard carts that include electronic locking storage and can be used with X series carts with or without storage. SOFTWARE: Med Display - a Windows application that runs on the local computing device on each cart providing direct access to local med drawer cabinets, cart settings, audit records, and drawer calibration. The Med Display background service, which is transparent to local users, handles communication with Med Manager and periodically calls home to report any new audit data and retrieve any pending cart updates.
