Alerting and notification can extend to property. Environmental monitoring of HVAC systems, refrigeration units, boilers, windows, doors and more can automatically alert when something is wrong. Early detection and prevention can save an organization thousands of dollars. For example a boiler leaking and causing water damage or a hospital medical refrigerator spoiling medication.

Without tools, without automation, this requires staff members to manually perform some very manual, often menial tasks – and understand the implications of that work. Status Solution’s SARA not only automatically senses when something is wrong, it directly alerts the right person to respond. Even that is an outside service provider.

For example, fridges containing hundreds or thousands of dollars of medical supplies need to be monitored frequently to ensure they are operating within appropriate temperatures. Busy nursing staff are often asked to ‘record’ the fridge temperature. With many other things to think about this may not happen consistently nor may it be clear at exactly what temperature should someone be flagged.

Alternately a temperature probe could be installed in the Fridge and monitored by an automated rules engine like the Status Solutions SARA. Now the fridge temperature can be monitored as often as desired. Not only will SARA monitor the fridge temperature but when it is deemed as out of limits, it can immediately notify the maintenance staff. No need to consume valuable time from other staff.

All of this temperature data is being recorded, so if required, reports can be created for internal review or compliance.

While Status Solution’s SARA can be set up to alert when a major incident has occurred it can also deliver proactive alerts such as reminders to carry out a preventive maintenance task, check on a device or even to replace filters, batteries, bulbs and more.

The system can be used to create an schedule of common tasks so they are never forgotten. Especially if it includes a third party or outside agency, Status Solution’s SARA can be used to automatically notify and verify they have been to perform the work.
