Abstract
Find missing equipment fast with the indoor equivalent of the global positioning system. Billerica, MA-based PinPoint Co. is marketing a system to locate equipment, such as stretchers and wheelchairs, based on radio-frequency signals emitted from tags on the equipment. A New York hospital that has used the system says it could have a quick payback time.
