How Atlantic Health System Uses Hexmodal to Automate Emergency Light Testing and Record Keeping

The Challenge

Before implementing Hexmodal’s solution, Atlantic Health faced several key issues with emergency light testing:

1. Major Time and Resource Burden

Monthly testing required substantial coordination and internal bandwidth. The team did not always have full visibility into whether tests were passing or failing.

2. Unreliable Reporting

Records were difficult to trust, creating uncertainty during inspections and concern about potential compliance deficiencies.

3. Expensive and Complicated Processes

Third-party contractors were required to conduct testing, adding cost and operational complexity.

4. Paper-Based Record Management

Managing documentation across hundreds of buildings was inefficient and difficult to maintain.

The Solution: Smart Emergency Lights

Hexmodal implemented its Smart Emergency Lighting system across Atlantic Health facilities.

The system:

• Automatically performs required 30-second monthly and 90-minute annual tests
• Generates digital reports instantly
• Stores and backs up compliance records online
• Sends automatic alerts if an issue is detected
• Provides free replacement parts when needed

The installation process was straightforward. Existing lights were replaced with Hexmodal Smart Lights, and the system required no involvement from the IT department. There were no upfront costs — only a monthly testing fee.

The Results

After implementation, Atlantic Health experienced measurable operational improvements:

Automated Testing and Reporting

Emergency light testing is now fully automated. Digital reports are generated instantly and available on demand for inspections.

Guaranteed Compliance

The team now has confidence that emergency lights remain up to code at all times.

Reduced Operational Burden

Manual testing and coordination with contractors have been eliminated, freeing internal teams to focus on higher-priority responsibilities.

Simplified Record Keeping

Paper records have been replaced with secure digital documentation, accessible across all facilities.

Ongoing Impact

With Hexmodal’s system in place, Atlantic Health no longer needs to manage monthly manual testing processes. If a light experiences an issue, alerts are automatically triggered and the affected device is identified immediately.

The result is improved efficiency, reduced risk, and greater peace of mind across more than 400 facilities.
