Employee Protection Scenario In 1995, at the beginning of the year, Nordicom was asked to design and
produce a system to be used by employees of a large hospital, in order to
protect them from some patients’ aggressiveness, especially those in psychiatric wards. This device would be
used to call for help, whenever necessary, as discreetely as possible. Problem When dealing with large complexes, which hold many rooms, how does one
instantly and accurately pinpoint the exact location of a person in need
of help? Solution Nordicom’s answer to this specific
problem was to produce ultrasonic receivers and transmitters, called RS100
and TS100, easy to install and especially easy to use. Employees are now
wearing a transmitter (panic button ) which sends ultrasounds,
undetectable by the human ear. At the receiving end, strategically placed
in rooms where the distressed person may be, receivers carry the signal to
other devices like pagers, informing them precisely from where the call
originated. The RS100 and TS100 popularity quickly
surpassed Nordicom’s expectations,
mainly because they are more accurate than radio systems and more reliable
than infrared systems. Sales of the RS100 and TS100 are constantly climbing. The devices are being used by youth centers, emergency wards as well as psychiatric wards of large hospitals. |
