Orchestrating Operational Efficiency
Facilities management (FM) encompasses a wide variety of roles across a variety of market sectors. FM’s endeavour to support essential activities through the coordination of people, places, processes, and technology. But whatever the task or industry, good communications are essential in enabling FM teams to carry out their day to day operations efficiently and safely. Hytera has the best fit solutions for instant group communications, which provide more efficient, productive operations.

Better Efficiency Due to Reduced Operating Costs
Radios supporting group calling make it much easier to coordinate activities, contact
lone workers and to relay messages to many people simultaneously saving on time and
providing better workflow management.
Better Coordination
FM supervisors need to coordinate teams dispersed across different locations and with
some working alone. Two-way and PoC radios enable staff to communicate with each other
instantly, anytime, anywhere.
Instant Communications
The group calling capability of DMR and PoC devices means managers can communicate
with large numbers of staff simultaneously, rather than have to contact them all individually,
saving time.
Workflow Management
DMR and PoC devices can support job ticketing, workflow management systems and status
messaging making it easy to schedule jobs, pre-assign workers to particular tasks,
and confirm task completion.
Hands-Free Wireless Operation
Bluetooth technology enables connectivity to wireless microphones, improving the user
experience and allowing FM personnel to communicate while keeping their hands free
to carry out assigned tasks.
Enhanced Worker Safety
A variety of safety features can be added to radios, so in addition to emergency calling
they can send automatic safety alerts to supervisors and colleagues as well, meaning
FM workers are better protected.
Emergency Button
Radios come with an emergency ‘panic’ button, which can be programmed to send an alarm
to supervisors and to colleagues’ radios, along with the person’s ID.
Man Down and Lone Worker
The Man Down alarm is triggered if a user has fallen over and the radio is horizontal.
The Lone Worker alarm is sent if the radio is inactive beyond a set time.
GPS Location Services
GPS-enabled radios allow commanders to locate and track users and can be used to pinpoint
a user who has issued the alarm or who is in a man down situation.
Intrinsically Safe Operations
Hytera offers world-leading ‘intrinsically safe’, ATEX/IECEx certified hand portable
terminals and accessories enabling FM workers to communicate safely in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
b
Improved Connectivity
Private radio systems allow signal coverage and capacity to be tailored to the exact
needs of the organisation and its facilities. High levels of redundancy can be implemented
to increase availability guarantees.
Reliable RF Coverage
DMR networks will provide better signal coverage across dispersed facilities and inside
buildings, eliminating not-spots or patchy mobile phone operator coverage, especially
indoors and hard to reach underground areas.
Connecting alarms to devices
DMR radios can be connected to alarms such as smoke detectors and intrusion alerts
ensuring the right people are informed immediately and enabling a faster response
to any problem.
SCADA and IoT
The DMR network can also be used to transmit SCADA information enabling remote automation
and asset control such as smart building sensors for air conditioning, heating, lights,
CCTV and alarms.
Bodycams
FM staff with bodycams can record incidents or faults. If Wi-Fi or broadband networks
are available live video can be streamed to experts for remote advice on fault fixing
or maintenance work.
