How Alertus Makes a Positive Impact Across Industries
by Kat Wilkerson, Content Marketing Specialist
For over 20 years, Alertus has delivered innovative solutions to help organizations mitigate risk and communicate effectively during emergencies. We believe that, regardless of budget or resources, organizations should have access to mass notification tools that can save lives and protect assets. We are proud to serve more than 2,500 organizations around the world with products and solutions that support inclusivity, risk reduction, reliability, and immediate alerting.
Inclusivity
In addition to serving customers directly, Alertus works with a deep network of international partners to help bring our mass notification solutions to a broader audience. Through our industry-leading capabilities, we are widely recognized for our innovative emergency notification assistive technologies. Mass notification should be available to all, including those who are hard of hearing or visually impaired.
Alertus’ Alert Beacon® provides audible-visual alerting through flashing light patterns, on-display text messages, and text-to-speech technology. This device’s versatility allows it to be used in place of a conventional public address (PA) system, so if people aren’t at their desks, they’ll still receive vital information in an emergency. Through self-charging battery backup, the Alert Beacons are always ready when needed, and multiple connection options offer the best chance to ensure people get critical alerts even when the internet is down or the power is out.
Risk Reduction
Crisis communication during and after an incident is critical for mitigating harm.
In settings such as K-12 schools, where instances of medical emergencies, violence, and external threats are rising, teachers and staff can use Alertus’ WiFi Panic Button to quickly request help and share precise location and user information with security personnel and administrators. From classrooms to cafeterias or anywhere on school grounds, the WiFi Panic Button facilitates a swift response via one-touch activation. These devices are discreet enough to wear on a lanyard or put in a pocket to activate alerts subtly, allowing personnel to keep their students safe in crises without attracting too much attention.
Reliability
An effective emergency mass notification system should reach everyone in your organization, regardless of their location.
Desktop alerts are a powerful tool for emergency notification. For example, hospitals and medical centers can notify all or select healthcare personnel for emergency or routine communications using customizable full-screen or partial-screen desktop pop-ups. Alertus Desktop™ Notification is a reliable way to send critical notifications without distressing patients or visitors.
Immediate Alerting
Time is of the essence when your organization faces an emergency. You need to send critical information to your community – and fast.
Alertus’ Activation Buttons allow organizations to set a button to a specific emergency scenario for easy and immediate system activation or to deploy a general emergency alert. Industries such as Industrial Manufacturing require a tailored approach, so when machinery accidents, combustions, or gas leaks occur, employees utilize Alertus’ Activation Buttons. When pressed on the production line, these buttons trigger the Alertus System, activating solutions such as Alert Beacons, High Power Speaker Arrays (HPSA), and Desktop Notifications to disperse potentially life-saving information.
While many companies can offer standalone alerting devices and systems, Alertus connects the dots – offering you
the ability to integrate disparate systems and enhance your existing assets with industry-leading alerting devices, all under one powerful platform. Our passion lies in delivering customizable, scalable, and affordable mass notification solutions because we know even a few seconds of warning can help save lives during an emergency.
