The Challenge

The onsite fire brigade of this industrial giant was facing significant challenges with their existing fire management systems. They were using two types of fire management applications—Autronica and Siemens. However, the Siemens MM8000 system had reached the end of its life, necessitating a new solution. The company needed a platform that could integrate both Autronica and Siemens fire panels while retaining the benefits of both systems. Additionally, they sought extra functionalities to enhance the fire brigade's efficiency.

Existing System Hardware

• 94 Autronica Fire Panels
• 124 Mirasys CCTV Cameras
• 94 Galaxy Intrusion Detection Systems
• 250 Simulation Drivers

Why They Chose Sky-Walker

Sky-Walker was selected for its ability to integrate diverse systems into a single, cohesive platform. The solution needed to consolidate functionalities from both the Autronica and Siemens systems while providing additional benefits to the fire brigade. Entelec, the provider of Sky-Walker, demonstrated the platform’s potential through a Proof of Concept (POC), showcasing its capability to meet and exceed the customer's requirements.

The Winning Solution

Entelec engineered a tailored solution in collaboration with the fire brigade, configuring Sky-Walker to meet specific needs and providing a customized graphical user interface. Key features of the solution included:

• Mobile Web Clients: Enabled fire brigade access to critical data and controls from fire trucks.
• CCTV Integration: Provided direct visual insights during alarms and events, aiding in quick decision-making.
• Intrusion Integration: Offered arm/disarm status, helping assess building occupancy and emergency response needs.
• Simulation Drivers: Allowed manual status updates on non-connected pumps and water cannons, replacing outdated physical methods with a digital solution.
