Ahuja’s intelligent paging system at Hero Motocorp

World’s largest manufacturer of two wheelers, Hero Motocorp recently commissioned their state-of-the-art Research and Development facility near Jaipur, Rajasthan. This newly operational Centre of Innovation & Technology (CIT) is expected to significantly enhance Hero Motocorp’s ability to introduce indigenously developed products in the market. The facility which is spread across 250 acres and houses over 500 engineers required a reliable and efficient Public Address System for Emergency Evacuation and Zonal Paging. The decision was easy for them, India’s leading brand in Public Address System – AHUJA.

Hero Motocorp required a robust system for playing back-ground music, making general announcements and most importantly transmitting fire tone under fire condition. After a series of consultations and site-visits Ahuja’s top of the line paging system - APZ-500 series was recommended and installed.

The Centre was divided into 35 zones for the purpose of selective paging. Each floor was designated as a separate zone, whereas each meeting-room and lab was also identified as a separate zone. Paging facility has been provided at 2 locations, with option to scale the system to have up to 16 paging locations. Almost 1200 speakers, combination of ceiling, wall and horns were installed to cover each and every corner of the Centre.

The system installed has been operational for over three months and owing to its smart features and ease-of-use is being used quite extensively.
