| Simple, portable alarm system for the construction industry Recent research has identified jobsite theft as a top concern for the construction industry, with losses of more than $1 billion only in the United States each year. These losses are a result of a widespread lack of effective security solutions for jobsites and equipment located on the sites. Simple Guardian, an innovator in automated security notification services, today announced the debut of their JOB SITE KIT, its simple, portable, wireless alarm system that is designed specifically for the construction industry and uses patented wireless technology to monitor numerous pieces of equipment or areas simultaneously. Simple Guardian features a base unit and four unique wireless sensors. It is a user-friendly self installed system that can be customized for different jobsites. Through the base unit, stationed in a jobsite trailer, the remote sensors can monitor key assets and areas on the jobsite. If an intruder tries to enter a secured area, disturb a piece of protected equipment, or remove materials from the site, the alarm activates and a notification is sent to the key holders. Simplicity is the key to providing a useful solution in which anyone can manage the system. Simple Guardian gives construction managers and foreman an easy to use application to manage the system. Throughhttp://www.Simpleguardian.com, changing access codes, notification lists or reviewing system reporting is a breeze. While other security systems used on jobsites typically do not protect equipment outside of the trailer, Simple Guardian has pioneered a variety of unique add-on accessories. These accessories can be placed throughout the site, on job/gang tool boxes, materials, equipment, and inside the facility under construction to ensure that valuable tools and areas of the jobsite are protected. Wireless sensors can be placed on equipment, tools, and locations throughout the construction site. For example, the Simple Cord, will protect equipment normally secured by a lock and chain. The Simple Board is specifically designed to be placed upon stackable materials, such as lumber, block, or brick. The Simple Sensor detects motion and is designed to be placed inside of the building under construction. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
