RFID for infusion pumps

This might be a little off topic, but... Do any facilities use RFID tags, or something similar, on their infusion pumps so they can find them? We recently purchased 20 PCA modules for our Alaris pumps, and most of them are MIA. It is a ridiculous waste of time and money to not be able to find these pumps when you need them. Any help is appreciated!
