Intellikey key-based intelligent access control systems are helping security staff at the Hull and East Yorkshire Hospital NHS Trust to transport medical teams to emergency situations within the hospital in double-quick time.
With 14 floors, the lifts are always busy with people travelling around the building. When an emergency such as a heart attack occurs, the medical teams obviously need to get to the patients fast.
As part of a £1 million security upgrade, each of the four lifts has now been fitted with an Intellikey electronic access control lock, and wall-mounted call panels fitted on each floor. When one of the specially-programmed keys is inserted into the wall-mounted lock, a switch overrides the main controls and the lift concerned is brought directly to that floor where the doors remain open for 30 seconds.
The key is then inserted into the lock inside the lift, where it beeps and is activated. The key is then turned, allowing the lift to travel directly to the desired floor.
