The next step in fire protection

42B5 Smart Sprinkler Solution

From routine testing to simpler reporting to ongoing compliance, our partnership has empowered you to establish industry-leading fire-safety best practices throughout your facilities.
But this progress is now being threatened by several new pressures.
Budget cuts and staffing constraints mean you have fewer resources available to test sprinkler systems or answer emergency service calls. Even so, testing and maintenance must be performed each month—or even each week—to satisfy ever-increasing compliance demands.
The trouble is, a manually intensive, high-touch approach limits your ability to tell what’s working and what’s not. And without direct insights into system data, you run a greater risk of unexpected failures, business disruptions, and expensive, unplanned repairs.
And as compliance becomes more complex, meeting basic regulatory requirements won’t ensure you’re fully protected. Incidents lead to damage, wasted water, and lost production time—not to mention costly repairs and rising insurance premiums.
It’s easy to view this situation as a whole—all the maintenance requirements, compliance headaches, and interruptions caused by alarm calls—and regard your sprinkler system as little more than a nuisance.
But in reality, your sprinkler system plays a critical role protecting lives and ensuring business continuity.

So what if you could digitize your fire sprinkler system?

Modernized fire protection in action

The last thing your facility needs is a catastrophic sprinkler failure.
When you digitize your sprinkler system with help from Siemens, you’ll gain real-time visibility into your overall system status and use automated diagnostics to help preserve system uptime—and protect your people, property, and business productivity.

With the Siemens Smart Fire Sprinkler Service offering, you can:
See what’s happening within your sites without having to go there
Manually inspecting your sprinkler system takes considerable time and effort, yet yields incomplete information, threatening your ability to deal with failures. But with Siemens, you’ll use digital technology to continuously monitor systems and proactively identify issues before they escalate. With greater visibility into your systems, you’ll help to improve performance, increase staff efficiencies, and save the time, costs, and environmental impact associated with traveling between facilities to run tests.

Predict failures and schedule maintenance on your timeline
Periodic manual inspections rarely surface underlying issues—like leaks, pump malfunctions, or compressors short cycling—particularly when you can’t compare history from inspection to inspection. With access to real-time performance insights from within the sprinkler system, you’ll be able to spot the root cause of problems sooner and take proactive steps that help to prevent downtime, increase reliability, and improve safety and compliance. And you’ll be better positioned to identify areas of improvement and mitigate negative trends before they damage the system.

Maintain fire-sprinkler compliance more cost effectively, efficiently, and consistently
It’s hard to prove you’re meeting local code requirements—or show your system is able to perform properly during a critical event—when a handwritten logbook is your only evidence. But with our online tracking and reporting, you’ll meet or exceed insurer requirements with accurate, defensible data that can be produced on-demand.
This way, you’ll help to protect against unpredictable expenses, keep your buildings open, and safeguard your reputation.
