Elpas
The Elpas EIRIS™ Local Positioning System (LPS) uses revolutionary IRFID™ triple technology that combines IR, RF (UHF), and LF (RF low frequency transponder) signals. This unique triple technology combines the advantages of each technology – the exact room location of IR, the wide range and constant communication of RF, and the tailored range sensitivity of LF – providing a scalable, powerful and cost effective tracking and identification solution.
Scalable and flexible, Elpas LPS system's serves enterprises in leading markets including healthcare, educational and correctional facilities, intelligent buildings, and museums.
Elpas™ solutions provide WWWW™ information as follows:
Who is wearing the tag/badge? (Identifies the person or equipment)
When is the tag/badge holder in a certain location?
Where was the tag/badge last detected?
What, a unique feature of Elpas, enables the LPS system to provide vital status information about tagged entities. This includes equipment information, such as plugged/unplugged, on/off, in use/at rest, and motion/motionless status, and the equipment's utilization level, remaining battery level, temperature, and more.
Rectangular Shaped Equipment Tags
The equipment tags are used for the purpose of locating, monitoring and protecting portable equipment in enclosed environments. A variety of tags are available offering a combination of IR, RF (433.92MHz) and LF technologies enabling constant and exact real time location, identification and status reporting. In addition, the button on the back of the badge enables transmitting a predefined message. When provided with an input option, "short" and "open" input states are indicated.
Baby Tags
The small baby tag, attached to a baby’s ankle, is used for baby location monitoring (abduction and mismatch prevention) in real time, in hospital maternity wards. A variety of tags are available offering a combination of IR, RF (433MHz) and LF technologies enabling constant and exact real time location, identification and status reporting.
Pediatric Tags
The pediatric tag attached to a patient's wrist, is primarily used for monitoring infants and Alzheimer patients in real time. A variety of tags are available offering a combination of IR, RF (433MHz) and LF technologies enabling constant and exact real time location, identification and status reporting.
IR Readers
The RF reader serves as an interface unit between various tags and badges to the LonTalk™ network. The reader is a ceiling or wall mounted device capable of receiving coded Infra Red (IR) transmissions from badges or tags. The IR RDR is also capable of decoding, processing and storing the data received, and then transmitting the required information over a free topology wired LonTalk™ network to the central PC.
RF Readers
The RF reader serves as an interface unit between various tags and badges to the LonTalk™ network. The reader is a ceiling or wall mounted device capable of receiving coded RF transmissions from badges or tags. Some RF Readers are also capable of decoding, processing and storing the data received, and then transmitting the required information over a free topology wired LonTalk network to the central PC. RF readers are available in 315, 433 and 919 MHz. Long range readers enable extended communication range. Smart readers can communicate with each other to execute smart rules.
LF Readers
The LF reader is a ceiling-mounted device, which enables tag detection in exit locations or other specific zones of a building. The device transmits low frequency signals detected within a range of 2 to 3 meters by low frequency receivers of IRFID tags. As soon as LF RDR signals are identified, an IRFID data message including the ID number of the RDR is triggered and transmitted. This information enables the precise location of the tag.
In order to enlarge the range of detection, an enhanced system employing two LF RDRs in the same area is used working in conjunction as Master and Slave.
