VT North American Training

During 2011, VT will continue to offer class-room based Instructor-Led-Training for partners and system integrators at our North American headquarters located in Bloomfield, Connecticut. (USA).

Learning sessions are comprised of presentations that provide both overviews and details of system functionality. Key topics are enhanced by training manuals and handouts together with extensive hands-on exercises so that participants can actually try out what they are learning.

VT Adds New Elpas Active RFID Tags

New versions of the Elpas Healthcare Position Tag and the Elpas Active Identity Badge have been factory configured to store the ID of the last LF Field that the devices have passed through. This enables ELC Controllers to support RTLS button-press based Elpas Healthcare  Safety Solutions (such as wireless duress alerting) using strategically placed LF Exciters rather than having to install IR Readers in every room.

Consequently when the tag’s call-button is pressed, the tag will transmit a data message containing the tag ID, the button-press event and the last LF ID which the ELC can process to determine the location of the duress call.

By combining the Last LF tags, ELCs and the new Elpas Messaging Gateway, powerful, distributed and robust wireless button-press safety solutions may be achieved for a very affordable price.

VT Upgrades Eiris Tracking and Management Software

EIRIS 4.7.1 is now available for customer deployment. This new release of our field-proven Eiris Tracking and Management Software has undergone a substantial upgrade in functionality including an abundance of new bundled features.

Using customer feedback collected by our professional services group over the past year, Eiris V 4.7.1 now provides a richer collection of tools to easily configure, manage and use VT’s range of unified and hybrid Elpas, SpiderAlert and VisAccess Safety, Security and Visibility Solutions.

Key new features and capabilities in Eiris 4.7.1  included:

• Comprehensive support for hybrid Elpas installations that include both legacy LON and Elpas2 (Ethernet) network infrastructure devices. This is useful for scaling/expanding existing LON installations using Elpas Ethernet/RS-485 hardware.
• Optional Visitor Module & Parking Lot extensions for VisAccess installations plus new LF Supervision, and Floor Recovery utilities for Elpas systems.

VT’s Presence at HIMSS11

Visonic Technologies’ sales and management teams have recently returned from the HIMSS11 (Healthcare Information and Management Systems) conference where VT exhibited Elpas solutions at the conference’s new RFID and RTLS Showcase pavilion. The pavilion was designed by the RFID in Healthcare Consortium in conjunction with HIMSS. Visitors to this pavilion were able to learn more about the benefits of implementing RFID & RTLS solutions in their healthcare facilities.

The Hospital Smart Room was the main attraction of the pavilion, created to simulate a real patient room, exhibiting these technologies. VT’s BabyMatch Infant Protection Solution was among the solutions demonstrated. Visitors were able to see the full functionality of the infant protection solution including baby-mother match tests and exit and matching alarms. Pavilion visitors were also invited to visit VT’s kiosk where they were able to receive further information on other Elpas Active RFID & RTLS Healthcare Solutions.
