Combining security and ease of use is a challenge today for clinics, hospitals and nursing homes. With a very sensitive environment, and operating 24 hours a day, this type of facility demands customised security solutions.
SMARTair access control is specially designed to meet the current challenges of healthcare environments. From a nursing home, where protection of residents involves having all the accesses to the building under control and knowing about their movements – if they have left the room and where they are – all in real time, to hospital environments, where it is necessary to restrict access to certain areas, such as the pharmacy, and handle a high traffic of users and daily workers etc.
In the ongoing fight against hospital infections, it is essential, for example, that the surgeon’s hands do not come into contact with handles or doors before the operation. The use of automation for doors with an opening sensor is one of the possible solutions. Another example is a patient’s room – an area in which there is heavy traffic from visitors, nurses, doctors and maintenance staff. The antimicrobial finish on the handles is an aspect of preventive medicine to prevent the spread of nosocomial diseases.
The emergency exits must comply with current regulations and ensure quick and simple evacuation in panic situations, without compromising the perimeter security of the entrances to the building. Panic bars or emergency buttons, combined with electronic access control systems such as SMARTair, are examples of products that ensure the safety of people and property in any type of situation.
