EMERGENCY VOICE EVACUATION
One of the largest problems in the manufacturing sector today is hazard detection and evacuation. If a fire or gas is detected in a specific area in your facility how do you notify your employees to evacuate the building or respond safely? We believe it can only be accomplished though Emergency Voice Evacuation. With Emergency Voice Evacuation a pre-recorded messages can automatically instruct your employees where the hazard is located, what kind of hazard has been detected and to evacuate or respond to the issue. This is very effective when incorporating strobe devices that indicate by color what response is necessary.  Example: green is standard for "weather alert".
