VIKING Track and Trace
Read full descriptionHide full description
VIKING Track and Trace is designed to help you keep track of the service life, condition and maintenance of your Fire PPE. You can scan the barcode on the label on the suit or NFC chip inserted in the neck of the suit to register information about exposure to potentially harmful particles, washings, needed maintenance, repair types as well as incident types. The app contributes to improvement in washing routines and tracking of the need for re-impregnation of fire suits. You can find this information in the app: - Assigned user of the fire suit - Model number - Serial Number - Size - Location of the firesuit - Impregnation cycle - Status of the firesuit How the app works: 1. Open the application on your smartphone. 2. Scan your PPE fire suit. 3. Use the different tabs to update the information on your suit.
newREACT®
Read full descriptionHide full description
The completely redesigned newREACT® (new enhanced worldwide REmote ACcess Tool) is the successor to the REmote ACcess Tool remote access system, which has been available since 2018. The newREACT® system can only monitor fire alarm control panels that are connected to the newREACT® server. This means that the two apps are not compatible with each other, but perform similar tasks, namely remote access to fire alarm control panels. Due to the enormous success of the existing REmote ACcess Tool remote access system and the large number of connected systems, it became necessary to fundamentally redesign the system in order to increase performance and improve scalability. Currently, both apps have comparable functions, but new functions are being developed exclusively for the newREACT® system in order to completely replace the REmote ACcess Tool in a few years.
