Innovative Control Systems, Inc. (ICS) was founded in 1985 and is headquartered in Franklin, WI. The company manufactures advanced electronic monitoring and security systems under the name of Accutech™ that it markets through independent dealers and manufacturers representatives throughout the United States. The company's Accutech™ product is recognized as the market leader in infant and pediatric security while maintaining a strong role in the long-term care and assisted living markets. The Accutech™ product line provides specialized security systems that provide notification if a person (or asset) leaves a designated area.

Uses for these systems include protection for or from:

• Infant abduction
• Alzheimer patient wandering
• Head Trauma patient wandering
• Other causes of dementia which would cause wandering behavior
• Asset tracking
• Equipment theft

For example, individuals with dementia or head trauma typically exhibit a behavior known as wandering. That means that the person could "wander" away from the department or facility without staff awareness. Hospitals also have significant liability for the protection of infants and pediatric patients within their care. The issue here is not wandering, but rather abduction. In either case, the staff needs to be aware if a patient is leaving the area for any reason. Our goal is to maintain our competitive advantage in the hospital market by continuing to focus on infant and pediatric protection while broadening the use of our product in other areas of the hospital including rehabilitation, sub-acute, head trauma, psychiatric departments, as well as hospital-wide asset management.
