SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSET ASSIGNMENT AND REPLACEMENT

摘要

A file cabinet drawer includes support rails supporting asset panels each with a plurality of asset positions to support respective assets and associated asset indicators. A controller activates panel, drawer, and asset indicators to locate assigned assets. A recipient can be reauthenticated and assigned a duplicate asset if the assigned asset becomes unavailable. An administrator can be authenticated to conduct assignment of duplicate assets. Where asset(s) include electronic identification tags, the panels can include contacts in electrical communication with support rails in respective drawers coupled to the controller to read an asset identifier from each tag.
