Mass Notification for Food Manufacturing Facilities
Effective emergency notification is essential for critical and highly relied-upon service industries like food manufacturing. These facilities face a growing list of organizational threats daily—from emergencies to food hazard monitoring—and keeping everyone informed is critical to maintaining a safe environment.
As the leader in mass notification for nearly two decades, Alertus has worked with hundreds of Food and beverage manufacturing facilities to provide safe, code-compliant environments. We specialize in transforming systems and devices you already have into unified alerting modalities.
Overcome Communication Challenges with Innovative Solutions
Alertus offers a variety of innovative notification devices for critical and non-critical communication with all or select groups in your food manufacturing facility.
The Alert Beacon®
Overcome loud environments and immediately grab the attention of those who may not be able to hear an emergency alarm through flashing strobes, clear-tone sounders, and customized text.
Activation Button
Decrease the time it takes to send an alert while increasing the accuracy of the emergency information distributed throughout your facility through customized pre-set alerts.
Omni-Directional Indoor Speaker
Enhance communication throughout widespread indoor spaces with distinctive tones and highly intelligible spoken-voice announcements.
WiFi Panic Button
Configure buttons to notify the entire facility or emergency personnel of critical incidents, such as workplace accidents or equipment malfunctions.
Implement a Comprehensive Solution
A robust mass notification system during an emergency gives food manufacturing facilities and their occupants a better chance of preserving operations, data, and systems.
Digital Signage Override
Notify large, widespread, and loud facilities by integrating existing communication devices with Alertus’ mass notification solutions to create a multi-layered, seamless emergency response—regardless of where facility workers may be located or the hustle and bustle of food operations.
LED Marquee
Use an LED Marquee to display the emergency notification text on the screen. With an MNS that offers both audible and visual notification through clear emergency tone sounders and solutions like Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology, you’ll increase your chances of reaching everyone with timely communication. A high-quality MNS will also be Americans with
*Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant to account for individuals with different auditory or visual abilities.
Fire Alarm Control Panel Interface
Reacting quickly during a fire is essential for any organization, but the flammable elements make it especially timely in a food plant environment. Integrate your fire alarm to mitigate harm and reduce emergency response times by activating all emergency endpoints with the push of a button.
Monitor Critical Infrastructure
With other food production responsibilities to juggle, food manufacturing facility teams may not always be able to monitor the facility’s refrigerator temperature closely.
A robust MNS can leverage Internet of Things (IoT) technology to integrate with fundamental building automation systems like refrigerator temperature sensors to avoid high-risk food spoiling incidents. Set triggers to automate alerts to the people who need to respond immediately.
