The Sperosens Verifi system provides an encompassing, accurate, always-available status of various critical systems such as fire protection, operational and facilities equipment. Verifi monitors and reports the real-time status and fault conditions to users and in accordance with SANS requirements, the user can obtain electronic records of inspections and events.
All sources of information are communicated to a remote control room, from where the safety and operational readiness of systems can be closely monitored and logged 24/7. The control room also operates as the go-between to and from a facility and the fire brigade, ensures that fire alarms are not false, and that emergency response personnel are notified. The property manager, or owner, can also be notified by SMS or alarms.
Real-time computer displays provide a detailed overview of the entire facility, including event logging, alarming and reports. The Verifi system provides the user with peace of mind that the investment in fire protection or other critical systems is worthwhile. Early warning is given to report faulty equipment or overdue inspections to prevent loss of property, loss of lives, income and downtime.
Verifi measures parameters and communicates the data using the Internet of Things (IoT) communication technology. Several technologies are used to form a user friendly picture of the state of critical systems:
• Using the IoT, the system is able to monitor water pressure and reservoirs, suppression gas pressure, faults and fires, over distances up to 8 km without the need for SIM cards or antennas.
• Using NFC tagging, the system forces discipline to do visual audits of equipment such as fire reels, fire extinguishers, water pumps, fire doors, piping and nozzles. On this equipment several metrics can be audited, such as pressure in fire extinguishers, damage to fire reels, or obstacles in fire doors.
• Using standard instrumentation technologies, the system can measure many parameters such as air temperature, air flow speed, equipment on/off status, ambient gas concentrations such as CO, LP, CO2 and more.
Customers benefit from:
• Easily obtainable fire audit information where legal responsibility applies.
• Early fault detection to plan preventative maintenance.
• The safety of people, inventory, infrastructure and income.
• Damage prevention through early warning.
• Possible reduction of insurance costs.
• 24/7, 365 dashboard information of threats, events and failures.
Applications include fire safety systems in buildings, data provision to service delivery companies i.e. reservoir levels, flow, cooling, overheating or any other critical data, warehouses, factories, office complexes, hotels, and shopping malls. Sperosens has a team of fire hardware and software engineers to make sure products and solutions meet specific customer requirements.
