Mission Site Access Log
A unique part of the MISSION system is its use of electronic "keys." These keys are issued to all field personnel, and are easily kept on the person"s key ring. Each durable and inexpensive key has a serial number which uniquely identifies the holder.
When the person who acknowledged the alarm gets to the site, they simply touch the key to the key reader located on the side of the RTU. The RTU transmits the identity of the person who arrived on site and logs the arrival time. This simple action puts the RTU in "service mode" so no nuisance alarms are sent while the problem is being fixed.
Each time the key is used, its unique number is transmitted to MISSION. That data with the timestamp is saved to the main database and immediately made available on the customer`s website. The number of key uses at each site and by each person is included in the weekly management report as well. Now it`s easy to see who was where and when -- simplifying CMOM reports, and making dirty paper sign-in sheets obsolete.
