Vicinity Studios IMS was created for a local video
production company.
The IMS had to be easy and quick to use, while
facilitating an effective logging system to ensure
that it was as easy and quick to use as possible. The
system system prioritised speed of checking in/out
equipment as compared to security, as requested by the
client.
As such, a simple barcode scanner is used, for both
identification of users and items. The process has
been simplified to two steps
User scans personal barcode, followed by the items
they want to check in/out
Items scanned will alternate between checking in/out
and the user will get a feedback via the screen. While
having all interactions logged down on a separate
admin page.
The previous solution comprised of a manual log by
hand into an excel sheet. This IMS solution has halved
the time taken to check in and out devices.
