The PICnet system allows the creation and management of supervision calls for patients and / or medical and paramedical staff to reception rooms, to other rooms or departments, and to areas outside the hospital in order to guarantee high services and organizational standards that satisfy every type of request. In this context, the PICnet system, in addition to significantly improving the organizational conditions in hospitals, private clinics and nursing homes, increases the level of service and safety for patients and optimizes the efficiency and effectiveness of the health personnel who work there. All the information (for example, type of call, room number, bed number, event memory) and anomalies are detected, checked and displayed by the system, simplifying not only the work of those who use it, but also of the technical staff who installs it and will have to carry out any maintenance (for example in the event of an expansion of the system). The system will consist of a Master module management unit, located at the nursing staff's point of control, which will have the task of managing the calls and alarms that will come from the various rooms through the BUS cable and the modules distributed in the field.

Similarly to what is provided for patient rooms, alarm management in independent assisted bathrooms is carried out with a module for managing the following users:

In the event of a patient alarm call, the corresponding light signal will be activated outside the door and an alarm message will be displayed in the monitoring station and on the floor display. The staff in charge will notify the patient of the receipt of the alarm by turning on the reassurance light and will go to the room concerned for the intervention. Once arrived, the alarm can be reset using the appropriate input contact and in the event of prolonged stay in the room, it can activate the call transfer which, in the event of an alarm coming from another room, will activate the acoustic signal. The call transfer will be activated by pressing a specific button or by prolonged pressing of the reset button and it will cause the door light to flash (to signal the presence of staff in the room) and the reassurance light as a reminder for the nurse. A further prolonged pressure on the call transfer command will end this function (with possible reset also from the control point). The operating logics are freely definable to implement further commands such as the assistance call from the bedroom and bathroom made by the nursing staff who requires assistance or the emergency call with the highest priority.

Through PICnet systems it is possible to have remote signaling of any type of alarm or failure. All reports can be made locally, by means of alarm messages on the local supervision PC or on the display of the Master module, and remotely, by means of alarm messages on the centralized supervision PC or via messages and notifications remotely on any device.

It is also possible to interface PICnet building automation systems with security systems for sharing peripheral sensors, such as sharing window opening or presence sensors, and implementing operating synergies, such as “if a smoke sensor detects a fire principle, sends an alarm notification to the system, the room and hallway lights are turned on and the room door is unlocked”.

Thanks to the PICnet system, it is possible to manage access to the various departments in complete safety using transponder badge readers, which ensure a very high level of reliability in terms of security, with the recording of every transit both for the service personnel and the employees. Each code corresponds to a different user, who has free access to the departments of his competence only on the established days and times.

The technology used places this product at the forefront of its sector since the identification card for access is made up of a normal credit card format card without magnetic stripe or electrical contacts. In this way, the typical malfunctions of traditional technologies due to damage to the magnetic strip or oxidation of the contacts are totally eliminated. Each badge reader can store up to 1300 different card codes in a range of 65000 different codes. The different card codes can be divided into 8 distinct groups, enabling the activation or deactivation of all the cards belonging to the same group according to certain parameters, such as an hourly consent.

Thanks to PICnet it is possible to optimize energy consumption and improve the energy class of the entire building. In many cases PICnet systems are a fundamental component for obtaining the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) international certifications, established by the U.S. Green Building Council.

In fact, it is extremely simple to adjust the temperature and lighting of the rooms according to optimal automatic profiles and reduce inefficiencies due to system malfunctions thanks to constant monitoring of technological systems and timely reports in the event of failures.
