ELDIS 3 – new features for greater efficiency, security and integration
Operations control centres today must handle ever-more complex information — fast, precise, and without mistakes. Efficiency and accuracy have never been more critical. ELDIS 3 is continuously evolving to meet these demands. In recent months, numerous new features have been introduced to streamline workflows, enhance security, and expand interface capabilities.
More efficient processes for “Registered Work”
The “Registered Work” module is an important tool for avoiding false alerts during construction or maintenance work. The latest enhancements make recording significantly easier and more precise:
- Creation based on existing zones: Instead of entering data twice, registered work can be derived directly from existing areas such as smoke extraction, ELA or extinguishing areas.
- Detailed location information: Buildings, levels, rooms and objects can be selected in combination, which increases the accuracy of the assignment and creates traceability.
Improved control of detectors
The handling of detectors has also been optimised to reliably rule out operating errors. In future, control centre personnel will only see the control types that are supported by the respective system. In addition, two further functions have been introduced:
- Direct feedback: Each control is reported back immediately so that users can see the current status at a glance.
- Load management: To avoid overloading signalling systems, the number of parallel controls can be specifically limited.
More security in communication
The latest updates make ELDIS 3’s internal communication even more secure:
- TLS encryption in the XMS protocol: Communication between ELDIS applications can now be securely encrypted — ensuring that sensitive data remains protected from unauthorised access
- User authentication via Active Directory: Login is via the existing Windows AD. This allows accounts to be managed and locked centrally, while password policies are automatically enforced. Users no longer have to maintain their access data twice.
Extended interfaces and integrations
A key advantage of ELDIS 3 is its high level of integration with existing systems. This has been further expanded in recent months:
- UCRI interface 1.1: In addition to version 1.0, ELDIS now supports the extended version 1.1 with additional data fields.
- Rescuetrack integration: Rescuetrack can now be used for routing calculations. This enables more accurate route guidance and better visualisation in GEO.
- MSD V3 im eCall: Neben dem bisherigen Format verarbeitet ELDIS jetzt auch das neueste Datenformat für Fahrzeugnotrufe.
- Automatic update of operational data via eDES: Only changes to alerted operations that are actually relevant are forwarded automatically – contributing to the quality of information.
- New AML parser for Austria: With the current parser, the availability of AML data remains guaranteed even after older LIS servers are shut down.
