It is clear that the future of hospitals, and the present, is digital, especially in relation to management and medical practice, but also in the management and maintenance of the hospital as an infrastructure, which must function 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Therefore, it is essential that maintenance services can monitor these facilities at any time and place, paying special attention to critical areas where proper, safe and continuous operation of the facilities must be guaranteed.
Furthermore, it is important to bear in mind that different types of installations (air conditioning, gas, electrical, computer, etc.) coexist with different requirements and needs, depending also on their location (operating rooms, hospitalization, diagnosis, laboratories, consultations, etc.)
On the other hand, the implementation of Ethernet and Wi-Fi networks in hospitals provides a suitable channel for collecting and managing all the necessary information from the different facilities. However, this raises the question of how to integrate the various solutions and the need to develop a customized solution to manage all the information
An alternative to this problem is the COM465, which combines three functionalities in a single device: a data logger, a web server, and a gateway to Modbus TCP or other protocols. Therefore, it is possible to implement facility management solutions quickly and easily.
Of particular note is the Webserver function, which, without the need to create any software or program on a specific monitoring platform, can manage alarms and technical parameters of operating rooms or other critical areas, and from any device connected to the network, authorized people can access the status of the installation and the alarm log.
In summary, a single device can concentrate, control and integrate the technical information of the facilities for management by the Hospital's technical services.
