eSA – eurofunk Station Alert
Intelligent Station Alerting with eSA
In many control centers and fire stations, alerts are still “all-or-nothing”: when there’s an incident, the whole station is acoustically alerted—regardless of which personnel are actually needed. This causes unnecessary disturbances, especially at night, and in the long run it diminishes readiness. At the same time, there is growing demand for a modern, efficient, and integrable alerting solution that flexibly adapts to time of day, type of incident, and organizational changes.
Targeted Alerting
eurofunk Station Alert (eSA) enables targeted and context‑sensitive alerting within the station. Only those emergency personnel who are actually needed are addressed, thereby avoiding needless disturbances—especially during downtime or at night. While volunteer fire brigades or emergency services are often alerted via radio, pager, or app, professional fire stations are typically alerted acoustically using so‑called station alarms (WAL).
With eSA, eurofunk goes a step further
our system not only allows targeted announcements, but also automated control of loudspeakers, lights, and gates as part of the alert.
Flexible Scenarios for Day and Night
Differentiated alerting is crucial during night hours: with eSA, speaker zones can be controlled precisely by room and time—so only those units actually affected are woken. During quieter periods, the system automatically switches to “night mode,” while in daytime extended speaker zones may be active.
This functionality is based on freely configurable station alarm scenarios, which are triggered automatically depending on time and type of alarm.
Suitability for Any Organizational Size
Thanks to its modular architecture, eSA scales for both small organizations and large operational areas. A single system can centrally manage up to 40 stations. Within each station, any number of loudspeaker and control circuits can be addressed individually.
Integration & Expansion
eSA is fully compatible with all common incident management systems as well as eurofunk communication systems, especially with IDDS UCiP. In this efficient combination, eSA can be integrated as a subsystem, significantly reducing configuration effort. If an external incident management system lacks a text‑to‑speech capability, eSA can automatically convert text content into speech and deliver it as an announcement.
Other eSA Highlights at a Glance:
- Automated handling of alert tasks with feedback of status information such as “announcement in progress” or “gong completed”.
- Temporary storage of alert orders and audio content to ensure reliable, time‑precise processing.
- Multi‑user recording function for custom announcements – live or as pre‑recorded file.
- Speaking circuits mapped to emergency resources – easily triggered from the incident management system.
- User-friendly administration allows room assignments to be changed at any time – even remotely.
- Self-management for emergency personnel via an intuitive web application. Rest areas can be adjusted flexibly – the system automatically takes these changes into account during alerting.
