DESIGN & BUILD
Connected fire safety systems Alongside power infrastructure, Siemens is advancing fire safety as part of intelligent building systems. Its Sinteso Nova and Cerberus Nova detectors are designed to operate as connected devices within a wider digital environment.
These systems move fire detection from periodic inspection to continuous monitoring. Through IoT connectivity, detectors carry out self-checks and provide data to central platforms. This allows facility teams to monitor conditions in real time and respond to potential risks.
In data centres, where electrical systems operate continuously, fire risk is linked to overheating and equipment failure. Detection systems therefore need to identify issues early without interrupting operations. Siemens’ approach integrates detection with monitoring tools that provide visibility across the facility. The detectors are compatible with cloud-based applications such as Building X Fire Apps. This enables remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance, allowing teams to address issues before they affect operations.
Peter Nebiker, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure Buildings, said:“ The launch of our Sinteso Nova and Cerberus Nova fire detection portfolio is a game-changer in ensuring all alarms are accurate as best as possible.
