Mid West Wales FRS

Torchwood have supplied all RFID hardware requirements for Mid West Wales FRS.

This includes readers for all 58 of their fire stations to complete an asset inventory on every Fire Appliance within the service using RFID tags previously supplied by Torchwood. This will enable the equipment on each appliance (up to 350 items) to be checked and validated within 3-4 minutes saving many hours of labour using a manual tick sheet system.

The second part of the project includes the use of fixed RFID readers / antennas in cabinets to be installed in each Fire station to manage the stockholding and distribution of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) It is estimated that this will reduce the overall stockholding by 35% and make substantial savings / efficiencies in the usage, maintenance and purchase of new PPE.
