The Pain Point.
In emergencies, it can be challenging for someone distressed to provide an accurate location, especially if they are trapped inside, which the security or firewarden is unaware of.
Unfortunately, there is no reliable and cost-effective automated incident location monitoring system available in most buildings.
As for the hotel, when guests call for an emergency, the security personnel may not be notified of the indoor location for timely response and help onsite. To get a lifeline emergency location system will enhance the hotel's duty of care and reputation.
The E-Warden™ Solutions.
Methodology
E-Warden™ systems utilize wireless interconnected digital emergency lights to establish a secure local communication network to transmit critical sensor data, including alert triggered by phones & wearable devives online. The system uses self-contained, uninterruptible energy to power itself and synchronize the sensor data to the cloud, creating an indoor emergency digital twin. In emergency situations and during evacuations, the lighting units can detect distress signals triggered by a smartphone, wearable alarm, or body movements, as well as any critical enviromental alerts. A machine learning algorithm compute the detection data to report the person's indoor location, regardless of local power supply interruptions that affect the internet access, providing an always-on indoor location safety protection.Advantages
Our emergency lighting system strictly adheres to the IEC standard and incorporates wireless auto compliance testing and working state monitoring. This ensures that building management do not have to spend a fortune retrofitting their plain old emergency lighting systems with new smart connected ones.
E-Warden™ dgital lights are efficent, reliable and cost effective compared to other indoor location safety system, providing real-time location data during emergencies and evacuations, making them an essential component of any building's safety, security and fire protection infrastructure.
Features1. Virtual Support Personnel - Our emergency lighting system ensures a fast response by providing security and fire wardens with actionable indoor location information. Staff and guests, like those in hotels, can use the ever-ready E-Warden™ wireless panic button or their smartphones to alert security onsite or emergency contacts to any incidents for help, including when calling emergency services of the Police, Fire or Ambulance. The smart emergency lights can also connect to an alarm in the control room or reception desk to physically alert an event. The system becomes a reliable virtual sentinel providing around-the-clock protection to allow rapid intervention.
2. 'Virtual Indoor 'President Call' - The digital lighting units can be controlled to broadcast alert messages and trigger sirens on users' mobile phones in specific building areas at floor level. This provides the security, fire warden and first responders with a powerful preemptive tool to warn occupants against potential and imminent risks or deliver instructions to intervene in emergencies.
3. Virtual Evacuation Board - E-Warden™ digital lighting integrates radar sensors that respond to body movements. They can record the occupant's activities throughout the emergency egress routes and other floor areas, reporting live evacuation progress. This information is transported to the cloud that complements a real-time virtual evacuation board displayed on safety personnel or first responders’ smart devices. It helps the building safety manager receive a virtual floor warden report, indicating activities on each floor and empowers him for informed decisions and actions.
4. Virtual Assembly Point - The digital lighting unit at the final exit can become a virtual assembly point to which occupants can report their safety. A digital evacuation plan provides an evacuation map highlighting the egresses and evacuation instructions to reach the physical assembly point, wherein a digital light can also interact with the registered occupants' alarm button or mobile phones to notify the building warden of their safety. The building warden is responsible for checking the building's assistance register, calling all registered, and verifying their locations. To follow this procedure in an old-school way using pen & paper and phone calls or texts without timely confirmation. The virtual assembly point can address these issues for a better, safer, and more resilient evacuation.
