Attach a Raven to any asset and it reports its own location to Forager on a schedule or when moved — automatically, with no staff involvement and no connection to your corporate network.
In Norse mythology, Odin's ravens flew out each morning to observe the world and returned to report everything they had seen. These devices do exactly that — attach one to any asset and it scouts its own location on a schedule or whenever in motion, while the rest of your operation runs without interruption.
Carts, portable equipment, and shared devices that change locations multiple times a day. Manual confirmation can't keep up. Ravens report in continuously without anyone picking up a phone.
Equipment in storage rooms, back-of-house areas, and maintenance closets that staff rarely pass through. Ravens keep location records current between visits — even for assets that go untouched for weeks.
For equipment where continuous location awareness justifies the hardware cost — infusion pumps, imaging accessories, specialty carts — Ravens provide ongoing presence reporting instead of point-in-time snapshots.
Assets that must be located on demand for audits and inspections. A Raven-tracked asset has a fresh location record every 15 minutes — not "last confirmed by a tech three weeks ago."
Facilities where manual scan cadence is limited by headcount. Ravens operate regardless of scheduling, staffing levels, or shift coverage — location data doesn't depend on a person walking the floor.
Ravens scan on schedule around the clock. Overnight movement of an asset that shouldn't be moving is visible in the dashboard the next morning — without anyone being on-site to observe it.
Field-swappable 18650 battery. No outlet required. Mounts to any asset with a cable tie or adhesive pad. IP67 sealed enclosure withstands hospital cleaning agents.
Target environments: Any — clinical areas, storage rooms, hallways, portable equipment.
AC passthrough adapter sits between the asset's power cord and the wall outlet. The device's full power passes through untouched — the adapter siphons a few watts to keep the Raven battery perpetually charged.
Target environments: Storage rooms, equipment staging areas, AV closets, maintenance bays. Not for patient-adjacent clinical areas.
Same AC passthrough concept with a medical-grade power supply that meets IEC 60601-1 electrical safety requirements for patient-adjacent environments. Perpetually charged for powered medical equipment.
Target environments: Clinical areas, patient-adjacent environments, powered medical equipment.
Ravens don't replace Forager's manual presence confirmation workflow — they extend it. From the Forager dashboard's perspective, a Raven update and a staff member scan are the same type of event: asset confirmed in room, timestamp, source attributed.
The same floor plan visualizations, compliance reports, and attestation logs that Forager already generates work identically for Raven-tracked assets. No new dashboard. No separate system. No parallel database.
If you're already running a Forager deployment, Ravens add continuous coverage on top of the RF fingerprint infrastructure you've already built. The rooms you've surveyed are immediately available for Raven location matching — no additional setup required.
Ravens are in development. If you're deploying Forager or planning to, reach out now — early customers will have input on hardware form factor, scan intervals, and deployment SOP for their specific asset types and environments.
