Maintenance and Safety Dashboard
Norra's maintenance and safety dashboard keeps preventive maintenance tied to each asset's real usage and warns staff the moment tagged equipment approaches a monitored door. Maintenance history and exit alerts live with the same equipment records the live map already tracks.
What you get
- Preventive maintenance logged against real equipment usage
- Exit-detection alerts before equipment leaves the building
- One maintenance record per asset, not a paper binder
- Runs on the same tags and gateways as the live map
- Tracks equipment, not residents
The maintenance and safety dashboard turns Norra's live location data into two operational jobs that used to live on paper: keeping equipment maintained and keeping it from leaving the building. Because both run on the same tags and gateways as the live map, one install covers all three.
The problem it solves
Preventive maintenance in most skilled nursing facilities is a whiteboard, a binder, or a spreadsheet that drifts out of date. Maintenance directors manage hundreds of assets alone, and a generic service calendar has no idea which pump actually ran all month and which sat in a closet. Meanwhile, high-churn items like wheelchairs and concentrators quietly walk out the door in laundry carts and family vehicles, and the first anyone hears of it is when a replacement gets ordered at full price.
How it works
Maintenance history is attached to each asset's record, so the service log lives with the equipment instead of on a wall. Because Norra tracks real usage, preventive maintenance can be tied to how much a piece of equipment is actually used rather than a one-size calendar, which is a better signal for when service is genuinely due.
Exit detection works off the same smart tags. When a tagged asset approaches a monitored door, Norra alerts staff so the item can be caught before it is lost. It is the same hardware doing double duty: the tags and plug-in gateways that keep the live map current also watch the exits, so there is no second system to install or pay for. Norra tracks equipment, not residents, so exit detection is scoped to your fleet of mobile medical equipment.
Who it is for
This dashboard is for maintenance directors who are tired of paper logs, and for administrators who watch expensive equipment disappear. It protects both the equipment budget and the maintenance records that a state surveyor may ask to see.

Frequently asked questions
How does Norra track preventive maintenance?+
Maintenance history lives with each asset's record instead of on paper or a whiteboard, and it is logged against real equipment usage rather than a generic calendar. Because Norra already knows the equipment and where it is, the maintenance director works from one source of truth instead of a binder.
What is exit detection?+
Exit detection alerts staff when a tagged piece of equipment approaches a monitored door, so items that historically walk out the door can be caught before they are lost. It runs on the same tags and gateways as the live map, so there is no separate hardware to buy for it.
Does exit detection track residents?+
No. Norra tracks equipment, not residents. Exit detection is for tagged mobile medical equipment. For resident wander management, a dedicated wander-band system is the right tool, and Norra says so plainly.
Do maintenance and exit detection use the same hardware as tracking?+
Yes. Both run on the proprietary smart tags and plug-in gateways that power the live equipment map, so one install covers location, preventive maintenance, and exit alerts without extra infrastructure.
