Solution Description

The ARCO Solution is an intelligent, centrally-controlled, network designed primarily for managing numerous, geographically dispersed branches of the Logistics Client.

Smart Building Management
The S1000 Smart Controller was installed to monitor and automate Air Conditioning, Lighting and Personnel Activity. Existing sensors that can detect vibration, gas, smoke and intrusion are also configured to report to the S1000 Controller.

Consolidated Cloud-based Monitoring
The ARCO Platform is a web-based application that resides in either a central location or cloud and provides the collection point for all events from the S1000 Smart Controller. The software monitors security/access alarm, telemetry activity, data gathering from the sensors connected to the controller located at each branch, and prioritises events for multiple operator workstations.

Full Alarm Monitoring
Interactive dashboards, graphical and geographical screens provide easy management and data consolidation showing the current and historical status of branches. There is the ability to drill down to view the current status and system configuration at any branch, enabling timely management of alarms and proper escalation of emergencies. Details of the recorded history stored in the system can be used for analytics and performance enhancements.
