SMARTair has improved efficiency on-site resulting in cost savings and greater control
associated with a traditional control system, particularly with key loss and replacement. In fact, with SMARTair a lost card can be deactivated in a minute and a new card issued at the same time, whereas with a traditional system the replacement of the whole cylinder and issuing new keys would be needed.
The first stage of the process comprised the installation of SMARTAir on nine doors located in the main access areas of the hospital- the main and the staff entrances- as well as on the doors giving access from out-of-hours reception to the departments. The system was also installed on the staff’ s changing and photocopying rooms.
In a second stage, the hospital focused on storage areas, where critical paperwork and information was kept, as well as on the remaining external doors, making external access 100 % controlled through SMARTAir.
The installation went smoothly, with“ very little, if any, disruption caused and certainly no disruption to the normal activity on site” explains Martyn.“ Plus, the system proved to be really easy to manage and the staff has accepted it with open arms, so the experience so far has been really positive.”
Commenting on the main benefits of the access control system, Martyn continues:“ The staff feel safer and we now have the ability to control access to areas by user, day and even time, which gives us a greater control over who is on site at any one time.”
“ We plan in the near future to install SMARTair in other areas of the hospital and our aim is to have the system to cover the whole site”, concludes Martyn.
“ The system proved to be really easy to manage and the staff has accepted it with open arms, so the experience so far has been really positive.”
