On the Use of SNMP as a Protocol for Healthcare Asset Management in the Operation and Maintenance Cycle

Assets in the health agency are equipment that needs to be appropriately managed. Problems such as where management fails to handle assets well can result in a loss in terms of disruption to business processes and financial losses. This paper proposes the adoption of SNMP as a protocol for managing assets for the operation and maintenance cycle of health assets. Using the agent concept in SNMP, assets can be monitored using a monitoring device that can record data from the installed sensors. From these sensors, the monitoring device can provide information regarding the assets, such as the position and condition of the environment of the asset placement. This paper produces a prototype monitoring device based on SNMP so that this device can work on the internet network.
