Building Safer Schools Through Connected Systems

The NovoTrax Intelligent Workflow Platform connects real-time data, communication systems, and physical infrastructure into a unified operational layer for K–12 environments.
Rather than operating as separate technologies, safety and operational systems function as coordinated workflows — ensuring consistent execution across campuses.
Below are the core capabilities supporting district-wide safety and operations.
Panic & Automated Lockdown
Rapid response begins with structured activation.
The NovoTrax Intelligent Workflow Platform ensures that when a panic device is pressed, response is not dependent on manual coordination. Instead, predefined district workflows activate immediately across multiple systems.
When triggered, the platform can:
-
Engage automated lockdown protocols
-
Secure doors based on defined zones
-
Trigger PA and visual alerts
-
Notify administrators and responders
-
Attach live video feeds directly to the incident
Execution becomes simultaneous and repeatable — reducing delay and eliminating human bottlenecks.
Real-Time Location Services (RTLS)
Situational awareness improves when location data is actionable.
RTLS provides administrators with live visibility into people and infrastructure during active events. Location intelligence is not isolated — it is embedded directly into workflows.
The platform delivers:
-
Real-time visibility of staff and responder locations
-
Live status of doors and room conditions
-
Movement tracking during active incidents
-
Location context tied directly to alerts
Decision-making shifts from assumption to clarity.
Integrated Video & AI Analytics
Detection without context creates hesitation.
The NovoTrax platform connects video systems and AI analytics directly to automated workflows, ensuring that alerts are supported by immediate verification and actionable intelligence.
Capabilities include:
-
Live camera feeds tied directly to alerts
-
Immediate visual verification for administrators
-
AI-based detection of weapons, fights, or anomalies
-
Automated workflow initiation based on verified events
Verification and response operate within the same coordinated framework.
Life Safety Dashboard
During critical moments, decision-makers require a unified operational view.
The Life Safety Dashboard consolidates system status and incident visibility into one trusted interface, reducing the need to navigate multiple platforms.
The dashboard provides:
-
Centralized visibility into active incidents
-
Real-time alert status across campuses
-
Door and access control conditions
-
Integrated camera context
-
Live tracking of response actions
Coordination becomes structured rather than reactive.
Command Center
Digital workflows must translate into physical action.
Command Center serves as the execution layer of the NovoTrax Intelligent Workflow Platform, directly interfacing with physical infrastructure to ensure automated response.
It connects to:
-
Access control panels
-
Lockdown systems
-
PA and intercom infrastructure
-
Visual alert systems
-
Emergency dialers
When a workflow activates, Command Center converts digital instructions into real-world action — without manual intervention.
Visitor Management & Entry Control
Campus safety begins at entry points.
Visitor management workflows integrate directly into the platform, ensuring that check-in processes align with district-wide operational visibility.
Supported capabilities include:
-
Manual visitor registration
-
Automated ID scan check-in
-
QR-based self check-in
-
Credential issuance tied to active workflows
Visitor activity becomes part of the unified operational layer rather than a standalone system.
Systems Integration Architecture
True coordination requires interoperability.
The NovoTrax Intelligent Workflow Platform acts as the workflow layer across digital and physical systems, ensuring they operate as one.
It connects:
-
Cameras
-
Access control
-
Lockdown infrastructure
-
Panic devices
-
Communication systems
-
Location services
-
First responder networks
Alerts no longer remain isolated signals — they initiate coordinated execution.
Expanding Beyond Emergency Response
While many districts begin with panic and lockdown workflows, the platform supports broader operational use cases that improve daily reliability.
Additional capabilities include:
-
Facilities and door monitoring
-
Campus-wide notifications
-
Infrastructure visibility
-
Predictable district-wide coordination
-
Reduced administrative burden
Over time, the platform becomes the operational backbone campuses depend on — not only during incidents, but throughout daily activity.
