Emergency Evacuation

The Emergency Evacuation feature enables secure tracking and management of visitors and staff in the event of a emergency.

When the Evacuation feature is activated, the evacuation system sends out individual SMS messages with individual self-service links, maps and instructions to all visitors. Administrators and rescue personnel can see the status and location of all persons at the facility, in real time, as well as contact information so that they can contact those who have not reported their status or have not yet arrived at the collection site.

The evacuation system is a so-called self-service system, which means that all people at the facility receive an individualized SMS with instructions and links, which makes it clear that the evacuation alarm is for them and should not be ignored.


The system gives fire protection managers and evacuation managers a very clear tool where they can see exactly everyone who is inside the facility, their status (what they have reported via the evacuation portal) and their contact information so they can easily search everyone, but also prioritize them as has not yet updated its status.

This security feature requires the visitor to know the name of the person they are visiting and not just choose a random name from a freely available list.

New integration to KONE elevator destination system

cavvisit KONE integration

The Kone destination system takes people to a specific elevator (A, B, C elevator and so on) and sends them the floor they are supposed to go to. People must choose that floor they want to go to on a tablet at the ground floor. People are not able to enter a random elevator and choose the floor on a button. This system enable a higher thruput of people traveling in the elevators as well as increased the speed of the movement between floors.

In the new CavVisit-To-Kone Integration the visitors enroll in a kiosk on the ground floor. When the visitor chooses a host the system automatically knows what floor the host is located on. A paper badge is printed (or virtual visitor badge sent by text message) with a QR-code on it.

Speedgates

Visitor badges with QR-codes get access rights and “home floors” in Kone access depending on settings in CavVisit.

Visitors receive QR codes from the CavVisit visitor system, which then, automatically, guides the visitor to the right floor with the elevator that is most efficient to use.

CavVisit’s new self-service kiosk automates all visitor management together with Kone.

Benefits for the CavVisit Cloud customers: Thanks to Kone’s new destination platform in combination with the CavVisit visitor system, the efficiency of existing lifts can increase so much that the property owner does not have to invest in more lifts to get higher capacity. With the visitor system’s new integration with Kone’s latest destination platform, entrance security for both employees and visitors is automated. This feature  is based on cost saving, higher security and decreased administration.

  • Added function for the self-service kiosk that will guide visitors to the correct facility if the visitor tries to check-in at the incorrect facility.
  • Fixed bugs and translation problems.
  • Advanced scheduling for access and relays. The advanced schedule allows CampTrac administrators to create schedules for access (when the cardholder can and cannot enter through doors) and relays (when a door/gate automatically opens and closes). The schedule function includes management of daily schedules (hours/minutes), weekly schedules (Monday-Sunday), vacation schedules and yearly schedules. Pro: This is a very advanced function that enables CampTrac administrators flow a great amount of people in the best possible way using the CampTrac system and card readers that are connected to it.
  • Schedule for door/gate opening and closing (Relay schedule). Relay schedules controls when a door/gate open and closes automatically. As it says, the relay schedule controls the relay in the door controller, which is what controls the doors opening status. The typical usage for a relay schedule is to ensure that the door is open at 8 AM and to that it is closed at 5 PM. When you create the schedule you will choose which days you don’t want the door to open automatically, for example during holidays. 
  • Access schedule for cardholders. An access schedule controls what hours during the day that a cardholder (person with RFID-card, pin code or virtual key) will be able to open the door with their card. A typical use for an access schedule is to prevent a certain category of cardholders to access certain doors/gates during the night time and holidays. 
  • In a building there are often card readers that control security doors, such as fire doors and other security doors. In CampTrac an administrator can assign a card reader to a “Facility” and if the fire alarm goes off in that facility, the system will automatically open all doors that are connected to that “Facility”. The concept with facilities is to compile critical car readers and perform certain actions on those readers in that “facility”. 
  • The completely new charging kiosk enables cardholders to deposit money on their CampTrac cards with SWISH or VISA/Mastercard. The kiosk also enables the user to see how much money they have on their CampTrac card.

This is a very useful feature when a visitor is looking for a host, but is only aware of one of the host’s information, such as the first name, last name, company, e-mail, etc. The receptionist is then able to search in all facilities in the visitor management system by simply inserting one of the host’s information to find them. Around this function there are other functions, such as shortcuts to create new meetings, change information regarding the hosts and so on.
  • New function – Change design of the user interface. The reception/administrator in the visitor management system can now change the design of the interface by choosing “Themes” on the dashboard and choose between more than 20 different design of the system.
