Centrak Omni Software

System Overview

CenTrak and Elpas Locating and Sensor systems consists of ceiling mounted network readers (RDRs), personal badges and equipment tags. These signals are received by the radio receivers and forwarded over the network to the Omni Server. Based on location and identification data, personnel can follow patients and equipment movements at all times through a PC screen in a map view or report format.

The CenTrak Omni software is installed on workstations and security terminals and can provide different views at each workstation as needed. This software can allow personnel to view, acknowledge and close alerts as well as view the location of real time location of tags and badges, their status and battery condition. All alerts and tag operations (such as status changing – requires PIN code) are stored in the software database and can be retrieved as reports at a later time.

Historical and Statistical Report Generation

The EIRIS History Recorder is an EIRIS™ client that records events in a relational database including Microsoft SQL-Server and Microsoft Access. Historical data logged using this tool may be used by either EIRIS™ Report Generator or by other 3rd party database applications. Using the EIRIS™ Report Generator it is possible to customize and generate a variety of reports in XML format and either display them in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or export the reports directly to Excel. The report generator includes extensive options for filtering, sorting ad grouping.

Create reports of alarms, tag movements or Time-and-Attendance. Use the EIRIS Report Generator to report on the time care-providers spent with a patient or the amount of time a technician spent in a lab. With ERG you can select from a large number of pre-defined reports or design your own.

System Alerts

The Eiris software enables configuring a variety of responses for each alert as follows:

• Directing alert notification to specific PCs.

• Directing alert types to different notification stations.

• Electronic map (graphic display) location indication (on PC based stations).

• PC audio announcements including the alert details.

• Audio announcements via public address systems.

• Textual display of alert details, on PC, small individual remote display units and on

large message display boards.

• Activating outputs (doors, cameras, sirens, lighting anywhere within the facility).

• Alert message processing, sending alert details to pagers, SMS and DECT.

• Alert details stored in a built-in database.

Alert Types

The system accommodates for a number of different alert types:

• Missing Patient – ELPAS tags continuously transmit IR and RF transmissions. A tag which has not transmitted to the system within a pre defined time will trigger a

missing patient alert.

• Patient in Distress – By simply pressing on the tag button, patients are able to request help. The tag immediately sends IR and RF signals and an event is generated. Personnel are guided in real-time to the exact location.

• Active Tag Approaches Controlled Closed Exit without Authorized Escort – ELPAS LF readers placed near exits trigger a silent alarm once a badge is detected in this area. As a result of this the exit is automatically locked, preventing the patient from leaving the protected area. The exit will unlock when the patient moves away from exit.

• Active Tag Approaches Controlled Open Exit without Authorized Escort - ELPAS LF readers placed near exits trigger an alarm once a badge is detected in this area.

• Device Malfunction Alert – including supervision, low battery.

Alarming

Use EIRIS to monitor Dry Contact Inputs, Proximity tags, Wireless RFID Transmitters or just about any type of security sensor. Tell EIRIS what to watch for and what to do when it happens. Show information on a PC screen, turn on lights or lock doors. EIRIS’s intuitive setup screens let you easily configure complex rules that involve scenarios involving combinations of inputs and transmitters. You can also tell EIRIS to let you know when your network or wireless devices malfunction or require servicing.

Tracking

Need to find a life saving device quickly. Where’s the patient that was sent to x-ray but never arrived? Find what you’re looking for with an EIRIS client or smartphone. EIRIS continuously monitors the location of wireless tags by processing the messages transmitted by wireless tags and received by any number of readers.

CCTV

EIRIS will show you live video from the location of an event on you EIRIS clients. If the location is determined by a wireless tag, then when the tag moves, the camera shown will automatically change.

Network Configuration Tools

EIRIS provides intuitive tools for commissioning your network hardware and enrolling components into the EIRIS database. EIRIS integrates tightly with LONTalk networks and can use LON devices as sensors or actuators. Other network protocols may be easily supplemented by adding new EIRIS Extensions. Included are tools for configuring: Input and Output Devices, Wireless Transmitters, Receivers, Access Controllers/Readers, Display Units, Keypads, Repeaters, Routers and Serial Interfaces (IP/UDP Gateways, LON Gateways, COM ports etc.).

Maps

Use maps to show the location of an alarm. Place location points on digital maps so that when an alarm occurs; a digital map is displayed indicating the location of the event. Drill down on maps to view greater detail or zoom out to see a larger area. In EIRIS, maps are also used to geographically group network components. For example, in order to close an alarm, a security guard may be required to turn a key at the location of a panic alarm. Map polygons are used to define these areas.


Client/Server

Connect to the EIRIS server from any PC on the network. Monitor alarms or setup the system from anywhere by connecting to an EIRIS server using Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). EIRIS lets you specify which alarms are sent to each client. That way, each department will get only the alarms that they need to see. In addition, alarms can be sent to your smartphone using Elpas' Eiris Go or Elpas LoneProtect apps.

Controllers

Achieve high availability for mission critical application by distributing the control over multiple EIRIS controllers. Use EIRIS’s data logging and client server features while leaving the decision-making and control to localized controllers. EIRIS synchronizes its database with EIRIS CE Controllers and EIRIS reports all events to EIRIS via TCP/IP

Arm/Disarm

Suspend a baby tag so that it can be moved out of the delivery suite and setup EIRIS so that when the tag is brought into the Maternity ward, the tag is automatically activated again. Change the status of a single input component or an entire area of inputs. Later, the EIRIS Report Generator will let you know when the components were disarmed and by whom.
