Operating Room

Temperature Sensing

The O3 Edge (and Sense) is an ideal sensor for operating room applications because of its unique installation location above the occupants, and its ability to track changing thermal conditions more rapidly than tradition wall-mounted thermostats.

The operating room is a uniquely challenging space in terms of occupant comfort. It is a space filled with heat sources, including overhead lighting, patient heating devices, monitoring screens, and other equipment; it is common for conditions to change rapidly during a procedure as people change positions and as various equipment is utilized. Thermal comfort in the OR is tied to how quickly and accurately the controlling system can act upon these changing conditions. Our patented Sensor Fusion technology on the O3 combines the filtered outputs of the onboard digital and IR sensors to provide a accurate and responsive temperature sensing. 

Space Feedback

The O3 Edge (and Sense) is aptly suited for use in space feedback solutions because of its array of high-quality sensors, its ability to provide feedback to occupants through its on-board speaker, LED light ring, and integrated occupant app, and, most importantly, its ability to easily integrate into almost any other type of commonly used building system. 

The O3 can feed its sensor suite data directly to BACnet HMIs or to other systems via MQTT or Node Red integrations or provide direct visual and audible feedback to occupants in the space. With an expansive suite of on-board sensors, the O3 can reduce costs associated with installing separate occupancy, light-level, humidity, or acoustic sensors in the OR and, subsequently, greatly simplify the workload of integrating this data to other systems. Additionally, the Seymour Connect occupant app provides a direct interface for occupants to review (and control) space conditions.
