Pneumatic Tube Systems
With Power Control Sumetzberger offers a forward-looking approach, that allows the realization of superior pneumatic tube systems solutions. Whether when transporting confidential materials, managing empty carriers, generating the system’s documentation or recording transfers, Sumetzberger offers the highest degree of safety, reliability and comfort in every respect.
Carrier Tracking transfer capacity
Ensuring delivery on time is crucial in many The growing quality and performance pressure leads applications in transport of sensitive or hazardous to an increasing demand for efficient solutions, loads like blood bags or drugs. Therefore it is capable of processing large amounts of carriers even important not only to guarantee safe transport but during peak times. Sumetzberger’s Multi Carrier also to monitor and track each carrier. Power Control Transport more than complies with the high safety ensures complete traceability of each transfer. and frequency standards: Several carriers can be By means of ID cards and PIN codes the access to the transported through one line simultaneously with pneumatic tube system can optionally be limited to minimal space and equipment requirements. authorized persons. This feature protects the system from misuse. Integration of THE latest technology Sumetzberger carrier tracking technology complies As technology leader Sumetzberger sets continuously fully with European Blood Directive 2002/98/EC. advances and innovations in transport and related possibilities to increase efficiency and capacity. Power Control enables integration of these into Carrier management existing or new systems. This includes not only high Sophisticated RFID-technology saves staff time and capacity or auto-unloading solutions, but also the improved system maintenance. upgrade of existing system components, even of Each carrier is assigned to a station. Empty carriers other manufacturer systems. are sent back to their home addresses immediately via direct route, assuring that enough carriers are available at each station, especially during peak Variable Speed Technology times. The Section Speed Control enables individually It is even possible to re-direct empty carrier for adjustable power setting for each section of the maintenance. Carriers, which have exceeded the system. Sensitive items are transported gently at pre-allocated distance limit, are sent automatically to lower speed, while empty carriers are sent at faster a station for being checked. speeds. This ensures optimal system performance.
Advanced Functionality The enlarged station display provides accurate, easy- to-understand information to users. Extensive data like self-explaining user instruction, name, system status and clock can be displayed in each and every language.

DESIGN & CONFIGURATION CONTROLLING & SERVICING
The high-performance central unit offers state-of- PowerControlEdit is the editor, monitoring and the-art technology in controlling and servicing. The visualization software for Power Control systems. powerful hardware and software features and the It has been designed very user-oriented, providing clear system architecture ensure a maximum of highly developed functionalities. reliability and stability. Authorised users and system administrators are Power Control network works even if the customer able to design and configure a Power Control based network has problems. Authorized people can get system in a user-friendly way. That’s why there is no simultaneously access to the system via LAN or need to draw schematics in a separate CAD software. Internet, irrespective of location. The files can be exported to third party software products (e.g. PDF). Configurations at stations and in the name table can be set and changed quickly.
VISUALISATION & MONITORING
PowerControlEdit provides real-time monitoring and tracking of all transfers at a glance. Moreover all processes in the system are recorded and analyzed in detail. For better servicing and maintenance, remote control function for all stations in real-time is provided as well. For advanced functionality Sumetzberger offers a range of additional plug-in installations, according to customer’s requirements.
Statistics Scheduler Detailed statistics provide information on each Professional task and time management is offered by station, user, carrier and transfer. History and the Scheduler plug-in. PIN codes as well as forwards evaluation software delivers a complete report of to other station and fixed targets are set and system transfer and analyses trends in system’s graphically depicted in the program and operated by performance. the system. Moreover the advanced calendar module By means of customized tables, charts and time offers a precise, flexible time scheduling. periods, a decisive basis for optimising the effectiveness of the system can be generated.
SCHEDULER manages tasks
RFID MANAGER The access to the pneumatic tube system can be limited to authorized persons. If required the system STATISTICS provides detailed accepts only carriers, which are equipped with RFID history and evaluation tags and ID cards or PIN codes . This protects the system from misuse. With the RFID Manager the Message independent allocation of authorized users can be Immediate event notification for users and administrated. engineering staff is provided by the Message plug-in. When receiving a carrier, the addressed user is informed by E-mail and in case of a failure in the system the technician is informed.
