Siemens’ next generation of its Desigo mass notification system is a multi-layered alerting system that can be used in a single building or across a large campus to communicate a series of emergency and non-emergency messages via visual, audio, and digital notifications. Using a combination of message delivery methods that includes visual warnings, audible alerts, and text messages the system ensures that the right message reaches the right people, no matter where they are. Product updates to the Desigo include enhanced alarm buttons that allow operators to more easily trigger incidents manually (such as for gas leaks, floods, tornadoes, etc.); a new telephone interface that connects to the speaker and strobe functions of installed emergency call stations; and ground floor graphics that facilitate faster notifications to installed devices such as LED signs, loudspeakers, TV monitors, etc.
