Westfield Stratford City
Westfield Stratford City is the largest shopping centre in Europe, located close to the Olympic Park in East London.
Miwin were asked to supply Workstation Graphical User Interface (GUI) Software to allow operators to make live announcements from dual locations. The Public Address (supplied by PEL) is a Bosch Praesideo Voice Alarm system, with three Network Controllers and over 300 speaker circuits.
The GUI provides the Operator with a visual method of selecting zones to make live announcements to, whilst also providing the user with visual indication of any other zones that are active - for instance if zone(s) have been selected by the Operator from the Microphone Console.
From the GUI, the operator is able to set zones and volume for Background Music, but still over-ride the music with the Mic or GUI to make a live announcement.

A key feature of the workstations is to provide the Operators with a visual indication of any alarms or faults that may be active. There are 14 levels in the shopping
mall, with 27 separate evacuation zones. If an evacuation trigger is received, the Operator can quickly identify which zone and level has entered evac mode, and take the appropriate action.
In the event of a hardware failure, the GUI will identify the zone that is failed, plus provide the user with the unique identity of the device that has failed, which will allow for quick diagnoses and repair of the PA.
