UK staff security specialist, Atus Systems, is set to add to its portfolio late this year with the launch of the Smart Badge, which it says ‘serves as an effective and indispensable extension of the smartphone’.
‘Practical, reliable, and cost-effective’, Smart Badge can receive messages ‘from almost any other system or service’. Atus said: “Integration with the smartphone offers the best of both worlds, such as indoor and outdoor positioning when in alarm, location-based services, track and trace, and additional safety via the corresponding SmartApp.
“SmartBadge echoes the marketleading designs of its Phillips and Bosch predecessors, as Atus’ origins are founded in the Personal Security Product division of the Bosch Group. Its rich history goes back to the 1960s, when Philips started an on-site paging business in Breda in the Netherlands, which was subsequently acquired by Bosch in 2002, and in 2010 by Atus BV.”
Atus says that ‘wherever staff are perceived to be at risk or face aggression’, it provides solutions to rapidly alert other staff. It added: “Automatic, man down, and other alarms, together with active system control and location detection, enable fast help to be delivered wherever and whenever it is needed.”
