Real Time Location System

Sonitor IPS tracks and positions equipment and people indoors. Sonitor IPS is based on a unique and patented use of ultrasound for communications in air and gives position for any object in real-time based on confinement of ultrasound inside a room or corridor.

Getting Started With an IPS

   "Where is the nearest IV pump?"
   "Where is patient Smith?"
   "What is the current waiting time in the ER?"
   "Which patient room is available?"
   "Which beds are due for cleaning next?"

Indoor Positioning Systems can instantly answer these, or similar questions, and so many, many other important location related questions that are asked hundreds of times every day in a healthcare institution. Imagine what would happen to your operations when all these questions can be instantly answered!

Indoor Positioning Systems, also referred to as Real Time Location Systems (RTLS), bear promise of becoming the next "new wave" in efficiency and productivity improvements for healthcare institutions.

The Ultrasound Advantage

The Sonitor system uses ultrasound as its means of communications. Ultrasound has several desirable properties that make it ideal for this application.

It does not penetrate solid walls, so location per room is simple to achieve.
It does not require line of sight between the tag and the detector, making it possible to track objects that are hidden or located in drawers or filing cabinets.
Ultrasound waves are mechanical waves, and therefore are immune to interference. They do not interfere with sensitive equipment that might otherwise be disturbed by electromagnetic waves.
The security of an ultrasound system is very high, making it virtually impossible to eavesdrop on the communications link from outside the premises of the installation.

The Sonitor ultrasound system has been designed for safety, so all emitted sound pressure levels are within the international regulations for the safe use of ultrasound.
