THE CHALLENGE
The equipment is there. Finding it is the problem.
Time lost to searching
Healthcare workers can spend up to an hour each shift hunting for equipment, time that belongs with patients.
Up to 1 hr
Buying more than you need
Typical equipment utilization sits around 40%, so devices sit idle in one unit while another orders more.
~40%
Equipment that walks away
Hospitals lose 2–7% of their mobile equipment value every year to loss, theft and devices that never come back.
2–7%
Most hospitals don’t have an equipment shortage. They have a visibility gap, and it shows up as lost time, surplus equipment and devices that quietly walk away.

HOW IT WORKS
From hidden to found in four steps.
No new habits to learn. If your team can run a web search, they can find any device in the hospital.
01
Tag every device
Small, long-life tags attach to pumps, beds, wheelchairs and any mobile device. Pairing takes seconds from a phone or tablet.
02
Locate it room by room
Ceiling sensors place each tag in the exact room and update its position live on your floor plan.
03
Find it in seconds
Search by device, type or department. The room lights up on the map, with last-seen time and full history.
04
Act before it’s a problem
Alerts flag devices leaving their zone, dropping below PAR level or coming due for maintenance.
CAPABILITIES
Everything you need to manage mobile equipment.
Live map and search
Find any tagged device by name, type or department on a live floor plan, from a desktop, tablet or phone.
Geofencing alerts
Get notified the moment equipment leaves a unit, a floor or the building, before it goes missing.
PAR level management
Keep the right number of devices in every department and rebalance before anyone runs short.
One platform for nursing, biomedical engineering and operations, with the view each team needs.
Utilization analytics
See how often each device is really used, right-size your fleet and avoid unnecessary purchases.
Maintenance and recalls
Locate devices due for preventive maintenance or under recall in minutes, with an audit-ready history.
Location history
Replay where any device has been, for audits, investigations and infection control follow-up.
WHY INTRAPOSITION
Accuracy you can trust. Infrastructure you’ll barely notice.
Older tracking systems estimate location from Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signal strength, which walls and metal distort. IntraPosition measures how long a signal takes to travel, so the room on screen is the room the device is in.
01
Room-level accuracy
Reliable room-level location, with up to 1 ft precision where you need it, even around walls, metal carts and dense equipment.
$640K
Better use of owned equipment
Based on IntraPosition’s ROI model and conservative industry assumptions. Actual savings vary by hospital size and equipment fleet.
02
Less infrastructure
At least 30% less infrastructure than legacy systems, with nothing installed in patient rooms. Faster to install, lower to own.
$160K
Less equipment loss
03
Minimal disruption
Installation is planned around clinical schedules, so departments keep working as normal while the system goes in.
$100K
Lower rental spend
04
Fully managed
We manage the platform as a cloud service, so your IT team carries no extra load.
Up to $1M
Potential savings every year
FAQ
Hospital asset tracking FAQs
Can’t see your question here? Our team will happily walk you through it.
01
What is hospital asset tracking?
Hospital asset tracking uses a Real-Time Location System (RTLS) to show where mobile medical equipment is at any moment. Small tags on each device communicate with ceiling sensors, and staff see every device on a live floor plan.
02
How accurate is IntraPosition’s RTLS?
Room-level, with up to 1 ft accuracy where needed. Our system measures how long a signal takes to travel, so walls, metal and dense equipment don’t throw it off the way Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signal strength can.
03
What equipment can we track?
Any mobile asset worth finding: infusion pumps, wheelchairs, beds, telemetry units, ventilators, defibrillators, crash carts, specialty devices and rented equipment.
04
How disruptive is installation?
Very little. Installation is scheduled around clinical operations, nothing is installed in patient rooms, and departments keep working normally throughout.
05
Does it work with our existing systems?
Yes. An open REST API connects IntraPosition to your EHR, maintenance management system (CMMS) and other hospital software.
06
How often do tag batteries need replacing?
Tags are built for long battery life, and the platform warns you well before a battery runs low. Replacing one is a quick swap with no downtime.
07
Is the system secure?
Yes. Role-based access means each team sees only what it needs, and IntraPosition manages the platform as a secure cloud service.
ONE PLATFORM
Start with assets. Grow from there.
The infrastructure you install for asset tracking also powers IntraPosition’s other solutions, so each new use case is mostly software, not new construction.
01
More RTLS solutions
The same sensors that track your equipment can also locate patients, protect staff, secure newborns and support mass casualty response.
02
Digital solutions
Paperless, connected tools for crash carts, supply rooms, the emergency department and infection control.
