Tagging at juvenile court to save $30K annually
The average time spent searching for files in Georgia’s DeKalb County Juvenile Court is estimated at 10 hours a week. It is this enormously inefficient and expensive process that the court hopes to avoid by installing an RFID system to tag, track and better organize its 12,000-file mess. The system carries with it a cost of $50,000, an intimidating sum at first glance. But when considered alongside the $30,000 in annual savings the system is projected to generate, the return-on-investment comes within a very impressive 24 months.
Most of the system’s hardware and software will come from 3M, while Texas Instruments will supply the passive RFID transponders used to tag the files. Key features include file check-in and check-out, PC-based file searching and integration with the court’s existing case management software.
