According to Johnson’s Byron Hill, director of Marketing for Systems and Technology for the Controls Group, “Information is readily accessible because the Metasys system can be operated from a desktop or laptop computer, or any remote browser-supported device — unlike conventional BAS, which require a dedicated, proprietary workstation.”
He said the software “bridges disparate information and devices, allowing new and existing applications to interoperate across platforms.” He cited one hospital where a manager can use the Metasys system to access “a real-time, single-screen snapshot of the status of isolation rooms — the patient’s name, his diagnosis, when he was admitted to the room, who occupied that room previously and that person’s diagnosis, the room’s temperature, humidity, and status of the isolation air-handling system.
