Abstract: Disclosed are apparatuses and corresponding and associated methodologies for achieving current inventory data management in combination with an electronic access control system. An access control system provides access control data while the sealed enclosure incorporates an RFID reading system for determining the identity of respective tagged contents within the enclosure. Particularly in conjunction with the storage of controlled substances, such as some drugs utilized on an EMS vehicle, a form of RFID tag may be practiced which operationally is fully or partially destroyed or damaged, or otherwise impacted or affected so as to generate a changed ID, whenever the contained medicinal dosage is acquired for administration. By reading contents of the enclosure (narc box) prior to a work shift, and at the conclusion of the work shift, comprising tracking comparative methodology, usage of the tagged drugs may be tracked.
