Infrastructure Position
Our strategy is to create value by focusing on a horizontal layer, an information layer. This operates above and separate from building systems designed to detect and provide emergency notification for potentially catastrophic events including water leak, fire, smoke, carbon monoxide, and intrusion/security systems/access control systems that are components in an institutional emergency preparedness plan.
Preservation Dashboard ™ is dependent on electrical power, internet & web services, and WIFI or cellular signal. Data collection, presentation, reporting, and alerting may be interrupted and are not guaranteed to be available at all times.
Roles & responsibilities
A RACI matrix is a responsibility assignment chart. The purpose is to create and document a shared understanding of staff & volunteer, and all other stakeholder roles and responsibilities. This model can be very simple for a small scale implementation.
Responsible-Primary user (Operations)
Staff: administration and day-to-day use
Dashboard-configuration and design
Event & threshold alerts
Leader for solution implementation and user support
Train additional staff and volunteers as needed
Accountable-Leadership
Escalation-thresholds/events
Assessment and measurement against plan
Support implementation & ongoing operations
Consulted-Internal/External
Preservation best practices
Environmental control expertise (HVAC)
Implementation options
Informed-Board (Strategy)
Periodic reporting
Decision making
More Detail User access management by role
Initial implementation tasks:
Advance Planning & Preparation:
Initial project scope and customer journey review
Climate and risk survey, assessment, and prioritization
Roles and responsibilities review
Initial module location(s)
Early access to live Guest Dashboard
Review organization preservation standards & policies
Technology Check:
WIFI extender-test loaner?
Browser support: The latest versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, and Safari.
Access to client WIFI SSID and Password (can be hidden)
A suggested implementation sequence that can be tailored to your preferences and customer journey.
Phase 1: Installation, configuration, and training. Duration 2-4 hrs (based on initial scope and Smart Sensor configuration)
Installation, WIFI & Mesh configuration, and testing
Primary user training including:
Baseline configuration: Password, dashboard, devices, events, widgets, frequency, synthetic variables, etc.
Selection of raw data or moving-average, weighted-average filters.
Access & capability by department, role, and location
Hierarchy of widgets: simple graphical indicators at the top, more detail descending
Combination Module deployment architecture.
Phase 2: Initial data collection, over 30-90 days
Refine dashboard design
Expand implementation team with internal training
Initial planning for detailed studies
Best practices for setting and testing thresholds & alerts
Explore data down-load options
Evaluate additional analysis tools, Excel, Qlik, etc.
Interview other stakeholders and review information needs
Establish and document new organizational processes
Phase 3: Expand to additional stakeholders
Present initial findings
Provide dashboard access by role
Implement reporting as needed
Phase 4: Other functionality
Synthetic variables
More Detail Scope and Outcome management
Module deployment notes:
Do not place in full sunlight for extended periods
Please do not place on the floor for extended periods (dust & particulate matter)
Please do not block ventilation openings
Combination Modules are designed to be mounted vertically
Consider known or unknown micro-climates
Avoid localized heat/cooling sources-air conditioners/drafty areas/high intensity lighting
Stable electrical power and sufficient WIFI signal strength is important.
Interior walls preferred for wall mounting. Consider potential thermal difference at surface or near surface of exterior walls (except when characterizing risk during rapid temperature change)
Consider measurement gradients:
Humid air is lighter than dry air
CO2 is heavier than air
Temperatures may be higher near ceiling vs floor
Please do not drop: some sensors have fragile components.
