Building Automation & Management
The greatest efficiency and benefit is achieved when all low voltage systems are integrated to allow monitoring and control from a central location. Geography is not a limitation and facilities anywhere can be included in one integrated system. Additionally, the actions taken from this gathering of information can save your company time and money and can provide a safer environment for all of your people.
A key link in any integrated system administered from a central location is an effective voice communication system. These systems facilitate other systems in the following ways:
- Fire Alarm and Life Safety Systems use a selective paging system to announce either live or recorded instructions to occupants during times of emergency
- Access Control Systems use a two-way communication system to receive and respond to inquiries from those seeking access who may be visitors, delivery people, or authorized users who don't have their assigned card
- The operator can use a paging or loud speaker system to make people observed on camera aware that they are being observed and deter their behavior
- Emergency Notices can be broadcast throughout the facility giving occupants directions
- Mass notification sends voice or test messages using voice over IP to computers and hand-held devices alerting those that are outside of the range of the paging system
- Nurse Call systems are a special form of communication system for those with patient care responsibilities
Using all or parts of the technologies described above, TPI develops custom building management systems that provide seamless control and monitoring of all assigned low voltage systems.
