Power Manager provides administrators 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. SOFTWARE: Power Display - Power Display is 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.

Med Manager provides administrators 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.
