AUDIO-VISUAL PAGING SYSTEM

CVS Health, Inc., a leading retail pharmacy and healthcare company, required a robust audio-visual paging system to enhance communication across three large retail distribution centers totaling over 2.1 million square feet. The goal was to deploy a wireless warehouse paging solution capable of supporting daily voice announcements and real-time audio-visual emergency notifications. Each facility’s paging and alert system needed to deliver reliable, facility-wide coverage with the following key capabilities:

Visiplex’s wireless audio-visual paging system was implemented using multiple wireless paging base stations strategically located at two main management offices as backup and redundancy. The system included both indoor and outdoor wireless PA speakers, installed throughout the facility and in critical areas such as smoking and break zones, muster points, and parking lots. To enhance visibility and ensure ADA compliance, wireless LED message boards and multi-color beacon lights were also installed across the facility for visual alerts.

During daily operations, the PA speakers broadcast scheduled break bell and shift change alerts, while the LED message boards display synchronized time and important facility messages with high visibility.

All three sites presented challenging installation conditions due to restricted access at 24/7 warehouse operations. These large-scale distribution centers featured floor-to-ceiling shelving and limited aisle access caused by continuous forklift and robotic activity, making traditional wired PA system installation costly and highly disruptive.

Thanks to its modular wireless design, the Visiplex audio-visual paging system was successfully installed by Visiplex technicians at all three sites, overcoming these access limitations. Final system testing, commissioning, and on-site staff training were also completed to ensure reliable, seamless operation.
