THE GROUND FLOOR

The streamlining of resources is an important part of any business’s philosophy and success.  In the cyber and physical security world, this is especially true as it relates to both people and the spaces they occupy.  And thinking about those spaces brings us to, you guessed it…

Elevators. 

Traditionally, people would cram onto an elevator and everyone would choose a different floor. Away the car would go, accruing passengers willy-nilly and sending the car up and down at the behest of whichever person got on last, and whatever floor was input. 

Then along came the revolution that was Destination Dispatch (which also happens to sound like a Wes Anderson movie).  With Destination Dispatch Elevator Systems, groups of people were funneled into specific cars based on pre-ride inputs, thus streamlining the process altogether and saving passengers boatloads of time.

Wouldn’t you know it – it turned out saving time translated to saving money and the cars were off, so to speak.

BLUSKY AHEAD

As demand for better and more efficient Destination Dispatch controls has grown over the years, we decided to do some testing and researching of our own and see which system operated the best and could be most confidently recommended to our clients.  Which eventually led us to BluSKY. 

In our testing of various BluBØX products (a part of the tremendously successful and accolated BluSKY line) we found that its Destination Dispatch system – which has been in service since 1998 – was an immensely robust and streamlined piece of technology.  

With functionality that allows it to integrate into every feature offered by every major elevator distributor (yes, you read that right), BluBØX is at the very peak of its class.  With computer-to-computer functionality, reducing the need for control panels, BlueSKY’s Destination Dispatch cuts down on traditional installation and maintenance.

Moreover, its functionality is sophisticated enough to be accessed and monitored by the system controller behind heavy security protocols, and user-friendly enough that even first-time visitors utilizing the public-facing controls via mobile devices can navigate its interface with ease.  Throw in some goodies like Access Control Integration, DDE Special Feature Support, and Turnstile Car Assignment, and you’ve got a bonafied hit on your hands.  

LAST STOP

Destination Dispatch systems aren’t for every corporate campus.  But if you’ve got a multi-car elevator setup in your building, and you’re in the market for a Destination Dispatch System, BluSKY’s is one of the very best we’ve ever seen. 

Of course, it goes without saying that any part of a system is only as good as a whole, just like any system as only as sound as its installer\integrator\maintenance team.

Curious to find out if you’re ready for BluSKY or other security innovations?  Reach out to us, we’d love to hear from you!

Until then, stay secure.
