The resource management is one of the key factors for any successful and safe activity. This is even more applicable in medical field, where particular demands are necessary. Thus, the physicians (and other medical stuff) are not only responsible for specific medical interventions; they have to also provide the health care environment that includes many other aspects. For instance, one significant activity performed by the medical stuff is the medication stock management. The purpose of this paper is to describe an automated system aimed to help them with this activity. This application is able, at the time being, to receive information from peripheral equipment, to store it into a database and to display all the actions performed by different users of the system. This way, any placement or displacement of medication vials and small dimension medical objects is automatically detected and registered by the system.
