• For Safe, Worry Free Operations in Healthcare

    Meet compliance standards and prevent product loss

Environmental & Temperature Sensors

From Vaccines and Other Medications to Blood and Lab Diagnostic Samples..

Healthcare facilities strongly rely on temperature-sensitive assets to provide your patients with the high quality care that they deserve. Maintaining proper temperature conditions is vital to reducing product loss. In addition to the monitoring of hospital monitoring, pressure and humidity are also major elements that need continous monitoring and consistient maintenance

Vital assets need to be protected from exposure to out-of-range environmental levels. In addition, they need to be easily tracked with staff visibility into their location – including status and condition using data loggers.

Improve Efficiency & Increase Satisfaction

Low-value manual data recording tasks can be completely eliminated, freeing carers to focus on what they do best – patient care. The benefit is instant – higher levels of satisfaction for carers and patients, and greatly much improved efficiencies for your hospital. The Return on Investment from productivity gains can be measured in months.

Reduce Your Losses and Start Saving Money Now

You know it already.. Just one unit that’s out of range or unplugged that goes unnoticed can mean a loss of thousands of pounds. With auto alerts sent to a wide range of devices within seconds, you can quickly intervene to protect the contents inside before they become damaged and unusable.

Caring More for Items that Require Strict, Temperature-Controlled Conditions

You’ll be able to easily monitor those items that require strict, temperature – controlled conditions. It’s often the case that the most expensive assets of a hospital require extremely precise standards with regards to pressure, temperature and humidity. You’ll find then, that with our healthcare environmental monitoring and pharmacy temperature monitoring solutions, hospitals can quickly ensure their critical assets are in the right environment, preventing inevitable and costly replacements along with all of the disruption to patient care that this entails.

How Temperature Monitoring Works

Temperature Monitoring employs Active RFID Tags that are continuously transmitting their unique ID to a real time location infrastructure. The unique tag and receiver identification info is sent to our RTLS server so that the temperature measurement data can be recorded and acted upon using pre-loaded automated alerts and responses (customisable by you). The temperature information is also recorded by RTLS servers and can be even viewed in real time as well as in historical reports.

Welcome to our Automated Environmental Monitoring & Temperature and Hygiene Compliance RTLS Solutions

Introduction

We supply, install, test and commission advanced Technology Active RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), Real-time Location Systems (RTLS) Passive RFID, and Physical Access safety, security and visibility products and solutions. Our solutions are designed to protect your assets, staff, patients and visitors in acute care hospitals, manufacturing facilities; storage depots and museums in the most cost effective way possible.

Infrastructure

We can supply our system in a number of topologies including the option for an IP platform. Local operating networks are commonly requested and more and more we are supplying bigger sites that have disparate systems separated from one another with LAN solutions. Our location readers are fixed mounted receivers that detect and forward ‘location’ and ‘state’ data from our active RFID Tags to a host RTLS security software server. Our low frequency beacons add additional real-time pinpoint location visibility. Finally, we employ input devices to integrate traditional security inputs and outputs into RTLS Solutions.

Integration

It’s a common request to have some form of integration with the nursecall or paging system. You can receive alerts when measurements are sensed above or below set parameters, i.e when sensitive assets are exposed to the wrong environmental factors and time is vital. Staff will instantly an alert when measurements are sensed above or below set parameters, so that they can take immediate action to resolve the issue. This way there’s less chance of a costly loss of key assets.

Real Time and Historical Data to Drive Efficiency, Save Cost & Improve Safety

Once you’ve deployed your infrastructure and your equipment and staff are equipped with tags and badges, you’ll be simply amazed by the opportunities to drive time saving and care improving changes through your organisation. Data can be viewed in the form of a list or graphically at either at fixed locations or on the move with mobiles in real time. In addition, data can be pulled from the system for historical reports too – for example to analyse past movements of patients in the event of an infection outbreak.
