Evacuation and emergency roll-call system

Thinking Software has identified the need for radical improvements in the way that sites – irrespective of whether these are businesses, schools, factories or critical infrastructure -- are evacuated and personnel made safe during an emergency.

MUSTERD is designed to work quietly alongside a site’s access control, and currently integrates with many of the UK’s most popular access control systems.

During normal operations, MUSTERD sits passively in the background, capturing the data it needs to create a secure, resilient and cloud-based copy of every employee’s current location within the site. MUSTERD then pushes this crucial data back out to a set of hand-held MUSTERD devices.  

In an emergency, the MUSTERD System already knows everyone’s whereabouts. Any Musterd-enabled device can instantly produce a completely dynamic, real-time list of 'unsafe' people for roll-call, mustering and rescue operations, and these lists can help fire marshals and other specialist safety personnel make the site workforce “safe” at designated mustering and assembly points.

MUSTERD can “go it alone” if a site’s power, network, access control or WiFi is disabled by a fire or other damage. If anyone hasn't reported for roll-call at a Musterd device, then MUSTERD can tell Rescue Teams where the missing people might be found.
