The detector test activities are recorded in the cloud. Hands-free text-to-speech functionality increases the speed and efficiency of the maintenance activities. Cerberus Test is a native smart-phone application that makes the process faster and more efficient than regular detector testing since only one person is needed. The Cerberus Test application enables service partners to deliver efficient testing during periodic maintenance. Furthermore, communications are encrypted and privacy is maintained in order to ensure the safety of the customer’s data.Ĭerberus Portal makes services more efficient for both solution partners and customers by providing secured 24/7 connectivity, multi-site dashboards, real-time monitoring and simple operation.
The system is simple to install and commission without the need for extended training. It also eliminates unnecessary service visits and prepares service engineers for those that still need to take place. The Cerberus Portal application delivers an overview of all connected sites as well as easy access to them. They are part of Siemens holistic approach to fire protection in which every element of fire protection matters – from detection and evacuation to danger management and cloud services. To help solutions partners and their customers get the most from cloud platforms and services, Siemens developed the Cerberus Cloud Apps portfolio that includes Cerberus Portal, Cerberus Test and Cerberus Tunnel. Solution partners and customers are then able to directly monitor and operate the fire control panels without having to stand in front of them. Cerberus Cloud Apps use a gateway to connect each site to the cloud so that panel events can be sent to the cloud. – How can I provide periodic maintenance more efficiently and deliver evidence of executed tests to customers?Ĭerberus Cloud Apps from Siemens solve these problems by connecting fire safety solutions to the cloud, which helps digitalize the fire industry and create remote accessibility. – How can I reduce high traveling costs and increase customer service quality? – How do I gain a quick overview of my customers’ fire protection systems? Fire safety solution partners are left asking themselves: This means that service partners and customers can’t obtain an overview of happenings at their sites without running to a fire alarm control panel. Additionally, most sites do not have an on-premise danger management station. The market for remote connectivity for fire safety systems is vast, since about 90% of buildings are not connected to the cloud.
Perhaps the pandemic’s requirement for everyone to keep their distance will speed the acceptance of remote monitoring, maintenance and control of fire safety systems. Then comes COVID-19, which might have an unexpected acceleration of remote access use to manage fire safety and other building technologies. This despite inroads that digitalization and the Internet of Things (IoT) have made in the fire industry in recent years. Less than 10% of buildings today have the cloud connectivity needed to make remote access possible. The Cerberus Cloud Apps are part of Siemens’ holistic approach to fire protection where every element of fire protection matters – from detection and evacuation, to danger management and cloud services. Secured Cloud Connectivity Enables Remote Access and Maintenance of Fire Protection Systems. Providing remote fire safety services has never been easier with Cerberus Cloud Apps.
