The NEAT Check In and Out System (CIOS) is NControl's inventory item control and tracking system. NEAT CIOS is a complete Item Tracking and Control System that instantly tells users which items are in their item storage area and which ones have been removed. Ideal for tracking tools, inventory, computers or anything that is stored in a single area. The system uses RFID readers at the storage area doors to monitor items as they move into and out of the storage area. When an item is 'seen' by the system, users can check the item out on the NEAT CIOS workstation. The system will update the status of the item, indicate who has the item and the time the item has been out. When returned, the item can be checked in the same way.Know where your tools are

Intuitive design with little training needed
NEAT CIOS was designed from the ground up to be useable with little or no training. NControl has incorporated on screen instructions and screen labels and tabs to easily reference the type of data displayed. Easily used in situations with high personnel turnover.

Separate Admin section prevents system changes
The system includes a password protected interface where authorization is required to access any sections where settings can be changed. Users can either be designated to only view reports, do inspections, or make system functionality changes.
-
Shows the items in storage and which ones are out
NEAT CIOS monitors storage exit locations and when an item is seen at the exit, the CIOS Workstations show the item and allow user to check the item in or out. The system will instantly update the status and display who removed the item and when the item was taken.
-
Alarms if items is removed without proper check out
If an item is 'seen' at the exit but not checked in or out through the system within 20 seconds, an alarm will be generated and displayed on the CIOS Workstation. Additionally, all alarms generated can be forwarded via email to designated personnel. An alarm report is also a part of the CIOS system.
-
Add information to system including photos
NEAT CIOS includes an item definition piece where users can enter details about the item including make, model, manufacturer, serial number, stock number, item stock date, inspection date and photos for easier identification. Users decide what information is included.
-
Ability to monitor multiple storage location exit points
The system has the option of adding workstations to monitor multiple exit points of the storage area. These workstations will communicate with a single NEAT CIOS computer for the storage of data and the generation of reports. The system will indicate which exit point was used to add/remove item.
-
Ensure equipment inspections are done timely
The system cross-references an item's inspection date against the current date and notifies the user if items require inspection. This component is used to monitor any item that requires a periodic action to be performed. Inspection updates are stored in the system for future use.
