Elpas RTLS Now Includes Wireless Temperature Monitoring

The new Elpas Temperature Monitoring Solution provides hospitals with a cost-effective, automated way to remotely monitor environmental sensitive medical assets or environments that require strict temperature range compliance for patient care and safety.

Elpas Temperature Monitoring enables hospitals to automate their temperature reporting protocols and practices (including the storage of temperature readings, triggered alerts and staff response logs). The solution supports automatic temperature-triggered alert notification options plus user customizable reports for analyzing temperature and deviation trends.

The Elpas Temperature Monitoring Solution utilizes the all new IP-64 water-rated, refrigerator mountable Elpas Temperature Sensor, which features an internal thermistor for the wireless monitoring of ambient temperatures. The sensor transmits real-time, location defined temperature readings through the Elpas Ethernet enabled RTLS infrastructure using standard wired or wireless Ethernet technologies to VT’s Eiris Active RFID/RTLS Monitoring Platform or to other networked hospital management systems. The sensor also features wireless call-button functionality to report preconfigured maintenance messages plus remote device supervision to ensure complete field reliability.

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.

New from VT, VisAccess – ViconNet V6 Integration

This easy to employ integration, enables security professionals to connect Eiris based, VisAccess Access Control  Systems to ViconNet Video Management Software to build comprehensive security management platforms.

The ability of VT’s Eiris Tracking and Mangement Software to generate ViconNet compatible XML bookmark messages enables ViconNet-V6 to perform the appropriate actions in response to VisAccess  events.

Using  these Eiris generated bookmark messages, ViconNet-V6 can be preconfigured to trigger such response functionalities as: the displaying and/or recording of live video streams, triggering predetermined camera movements, the running of macros and the automatic generation of event logs for archiving when, where and what occurred for each access control alarm event.
