by Brianna Crandall — March 16, 2015—Primex Wireless, a provider of wireless facility monitoring and compliance technologies, recently introduced its next-generation OneVue intelligent environmental monitoring platform. OneVue is designed as a cost-effective, convenient way to achieve real-time monitoring of healthcare facilities and the critical assets within them.
As Primex Wireless explains, wireless monitoring of environmental parameters such as room temperature/humidity or storage temperatures allows healthcare organizations to eliminate the need for highly trained personnel to record manual readings, allowing them to focus on caring for patients.
OneVue is a cloud-based, mobile-first platform that allows users to view monitoring data and configure the system using any Web browser on any tablet, smartphone, laptop or desktop computer. With its responsive design, OneVue automatically resizes and rearranges the screen to optimize the user’s experience for their mobile or desktop device.
OneVue eliminates the need for an organization’s information technology (IT) team to install or maintain servers or software. Only a minimal IT commitment is required upfront to configure the platform for any healthcare organization’s network, regardless of size, whether it is a small organization needing a more efficient and reliable monitoring solution or a very large enterprise with complex, multi-site monitoring needs.
According to Primex Wireless, the OneVue platform is unique to the industry in that the data generated by sensors is tied to the room, physical equipment (such as refrigerators) or inventory (such as pharmaceuticals or nutritionals) being monitored, rather than to the sensor. As a result, OneVue delivers comprehensive, historical data trails for compliance audits, preventive maintenance, benchmarking, cost comparisons and more—all without requiring users to merge records each time a sensor is changed or assets are moved.
In addition, customer accounts in OneVue may be intelligently structured by locations and business units to provide user rights and views that map into an organization’s hierarchy. The platform’s easy-to-use interface also allows healthcare personnel to preconfigure Primex Wireless sensors before they are shipped, so they automatically find and connect to the appropriate network when plugged in at the site, delivering true plug-and-play simplicity, says the company.
OneVue includes a wide range of differentiating benefits and capabilities to help healthcare organizations improve operations. According to Primex Wireless, key advantages include:
- The OneVue platform is built from the ground up on industry-leading Amazon Web Services’ infrastructure, delivering consistent system access and performance with banking-level security and encryption, ensuring data is protected at all times.
- OneVue’s intelligent structure provides user rights and views by locations and business units to minimize distractions for users while also helping to prevent unintended alterations to settings.
- Alert routing rules can be set up to deliver notifications via e-mail, text or phone according to individual company policies and preferences.
- Users can filter and rearrange columns of data to create and save custom views that meet their unique business requirements.
- Ongoing data backups and redundant backup sites ensure organizations always have quick and easy access to their data to demonstrate compliance.
OneVue is currently available for use with PrimexIAQ (room temperature/humidity) and PrimexTEMP (equipment temperature) sensors. Additional capabilities are expected to be incorporated into the OneVue platform during spring 2015.
Primex Wireless provides solutions to automate and maintain facility compliance, increase efficiencies, enhance safety and reduce risk for enterprise organizations in the healthcare, education, manufacturing and government vertical markets. Primex Wireless delivers platforms that utilize a facility’s existing network infrastructure to automate, monitor, document and report essential activities performed by the FM staff including environmental, temperature and event monitoring, emergency light testing and time synchronization.
