Cameron from ACIA Electrical found the overall process seamless. “It was important to have the manufacturer support to complete this project with limited interruption to the hospital. This was achieved by planning the installation and commissioning and not requiring additional cabling or backbone hardware. We have now installed a state-of-the-art emergency lighting system for Sutherland Hospital that has simplified compliance testing and set the hospital up for further system expansion”.
The upgrade to Clevertronics Zoneworks XT Hive technology has yielded significant benefits for Sutherland Hospital:
- Enhanced safety: The new emergency lighting system provides reliable illumination in the event of an emergency, ensuring the safe evacuation of patients, staff, and visitors.
- Improved compliance: XT Hive's automatic testing capabilities help the hospital maintain compliance with relevant safety regulations and standards.
- Energy and maintenance savings: The reliable and efficient LED technology of LP Premium has reduced energy consumption and lower operating costs for the hospital.
- Minimal disruptions: The seamless installation process minimises disruptions to hospital operations, allowing critical services to continue without interruption.
Mark Deluca, Sutherland Hospital's engineering and maintenance manager, says, “The implementation of Zoneworks as an upgrade has been relatively painless, especially given that we have a busy aging hospital. The minimal infrastructure requirements and factory support provided to ACIA gave us great comfort to undertake the emergency lighting upgrade as part of our operational maintenance strategy”. He goes on to say, “We are already seeing the results with simplified compliance testing and the reassurance that we have long life fittings that won’t need to be touched for many years to come”.
The upgrade of the emergency and exit lighting system at Sutherland Hospital to Clevertronics Zoneworks XT Hive technology represents a significant investment in safety, compliance, efficiency, and sustainability. By leveraging the advanced features of XT Hive, the hospital has enhanced its ability to provide a safe environment for patients, staff, and visitors while realising cost savings and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. These successfully staged upgrades serve as a model for other healthcare facilities seeking to modernise their emergency lighting infrastructure.
