Emergency lighting monitoring

Monitoring of emergency lighting is vital
BBC News reports that The Market Village Company Limited, the operator of Aberdeen Market, has been fined £80,000 after admitting safety failures that led to the death of a pensioner at the site. A 80 year old resident was found at the bottom of a fire escape stairwell at the indoor market in June 2018. An investigation found the Market Village Company Ltd failed to maintain the lighting in the stairwell. The company pleaded guilty to a contravention of the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005.
This sad case could have been prevented by a proper control & monitoring system like Mymesh.
The main driver for a lot of clients to implement the Mymesh wireless control system is monitoring emergency lighting to guarantee compliance with the norms. This is a trend we see across many different markets.
Furthermore, cost savings are being achieved by not having to manually perform and check the monthly Functional and yearly Duration Tests. And it also brings the opportunity to do preventive (or predictive) maintenance for the batteries, making the business case even more attractive.
By taking firm and smart action the company could have saved a fine, but more importantly a human life.
