Procedures and policies transformed into actionable plans
Rule-based technology convergence
Unified monitoring, control and communication
Support to the entire Control Room Management Lifecycle

Rule-based technology convergence
An extraordinary array of new technologies has increased the flow of critical information into the control room. These technologies have also fueled expectations for faster, better performance. But as control room personnel have more information to process, more technology can actually inhibit efficiency, slow down decision-making and increase human error. To effectively manage the flood of information and justify investment in the technologies that deliver that information, Situator provides smart technology convergence.

Situator enables fusion of a wide array of devices and systems with both digital and analog interfaces including intrusion sensors, environmental sensors, access control systems, video and VMD systems, location tracking (GPS, RFID, etc.), distress buttons, communication devices, enterprise data sources such as HR, ERP, IT and production systems and external sources such as Internet feeds (RSS weather, traffic, etc.), news and subscription services. Situator’s generic device gateways and open architecture ensure that future devices and systems can also be quickly and painlessly integrated into the same unified monitoring, control and situation management platform.

With a single, easy-to-understand GIS-enhanced console, Situator enables unified monitoring and control of converged devices and systems, even when they are distributed at multiple sites around the globe. But more than a monitoring system, Situator makes it possible for different systems to work together, optimizing one another’s effectiveness and value. Different technologies can interact with one another to trigger simultaneous responses to events and to help reduce false alarms. Devices and systems integrated through Situator can also be automatically controlled by event-triggered and time-triggered rules, and can be incorporated into automated response procedures. This all reduces the load on control room personnel while streamlining technology utilization.
