Life Safety Automation With Internet Connected Devices

Problem

Testing Requirements

NFPA and JCO require emergency lights to be tested monthly for 30s and annually for 90m. Testing records must be stored for 3 years.

• Costly: Testing wastes time & money that could be better spent elsewhere
• Unreliable: People rush through and make mistakes or pencil-whip reports
• Complicated: Mountains of paper records have to be stored, tracked, and updated

Cost

George’s 115 Lights:

• 100+ hours spent testing Emergency Lights every year.
• $7,000+ dollars Sspent on in-house testing and outside contractors every year.
• 6 binders worth of testing records.

Solution

The Solution: What They Wanted

1. Lights That Test Themselves Automatically
   This would free up George’s in-house team to work on other projects, get rid of Cintas, and help him save on his budget!
2. Digital Records That Are Stored Online
   This would eliminate the headache of collecting, storing, and managing binders of test reports, and simplify JCO Inspections.
3. No Data Lines, No Routers, No IT Involvement
   Any complex technical infrastructure or use of the hospital network would get the entire project axed by IT.
