Original Press Release:
Advanced Product Design and Manufacturing Develops Assisted-Living Monitoring System
When a distributor of assisted-living monitoring systems determined that currently available products did not provide the features that would enable assisted-living facility owners to reliably and unobtrusively track and communicate the activities of their elderly residents, even from a distance, it turned to Advanced Product Design & Manufacturing, Inc.
The solution:
1. A system that includes small transmitting devices worn by the patients, a monitoring device to ensure that all appropriate doors were locked, and a central-networked device to observe all of the individual door monitors.
2. A more accurate integrated micro/RF transmitter device, and housed in a new case design that could be domestically sourced (replacing a less-reliable design fabricated offshore). Its consistent performance in RF transmission in existing installations made that step simpler and less costly.
3. A metal enclosure for flush- and wall-mount installations – plus an indestructible keypad (replacing the fragile, plastic predecessors).
4. Utilizing the same technology, advanced electronics and sturdy metal enclosures developed in response to the customer's specified needs, APD&M also implemented additional local and system functionality enhancements..
5. Reduced cost for the product and its installation, while also significantly decreasing the system's life-cycle cost!
6. Exclusive rights to the new hardware and software designs, which assured predictable future product costs and availability.
The scope of work tested APD&M's engineering creativity and its mission of Turning Ideas Into Reality for OEM manufacturers in the Mid-Atlantic Region for two decades.
