Technology is all around us and advancing by the day. We love tech at DynaFire, so we’re delving into how the IoT can revolutionize our Orlando fire sprinkler services for the increased safety of our clients.
“Hey, Siri. Set the thermostat to 70 degrees.”
“Alexa, dim the lights.”
“Hey, Google, add milk to my shopping list.”
If you find yourself asking inanimate objects to perform tasks for you throughout the day, you already know what the IoT is. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of devices that connect to the Internet and can collect and share data. And whether you know it or not, you are likely surrounded by this technology right now. Some examples include:
- Smartwatches
- Fitness trackers
- Home automation
- Smart locks
- Doorbell cameras
- Voice controllers
- And many more
When you pull up your Wi-Fi connections, you may be surprised at how many devices are connected. IoT technology can tell us when we’re low on OJ, when we’ve closed our exercise ring, and when a fire is imminent. The IoT can do a lot more than make our lives more convenient. Read on to see how this evolving technology is affecting Fire & Life Safety.
Early Detection
Heat, smoke, light, and fire trigger standard smoke and heat detectors. In contrast, IoT temperature sensors represent a significant leap forward in fire detection technology. These sensors can detect fires much faster because they focus on sensing heat, even before smoke is present.
This early detection capability is a game-changer in fire safety, as it allows for immediate response and intervention, potentially preventing a small fire from escalating into a dangerous blaze. The ability of IoT temperature sensors to provide an early warning is a crucial advancement in fire sprinkler technology, as it enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of fire suppression systems, ultimately making our environments safer.
Rapid Response
Real-time monitoring allows for a more rapid response to potential fires. The faster a fire threat is identified, the quicker the sprinkler system can respond. The IoT allows seamless integration with other Orlando fire sprinkler services safety systems, such as fire alarm and notification systems, enabling immediate alerts to building occupants and emergency responders, further enhancing fire suppression measures’ overall safety and effectiveness.
Smart Monitoring
Our proprietary monitoring system, DynaNet, uses wireless networks to transmit emergency signals from the fire location to our Central Monitoring Station in seconds. And unlike cellular networks used by conventional fire monitoring systems, DynaNet doesn’t have to share bandwidth with cell phone traffic and data. DynaFire has been at the forefront of technology since before the term IoT arrived on the scene.
Minimized Water Damage
IoT technology reduces water damage during a fire by enabling zone-specific activation and variable water flow. These systems can accurately pinpoint the location of the fire within a building, activating only the sprinklers in the vicinity of the fire.
Furthermore, the water flow rate can be dynamically adjusted based on the fire’s size and intensity. Smaller fires may require less water, while larger fires demand a higher flow rate. This adaptability helps to contain the fire efficiently and minimizes water damage to unaffected areas.
Stay On The Cutting Edge With DynaFire
While some of these technologies are still in development and not widely available just yet, you can trust DynaFire to stay on the cutting edge for all your Fire & Life Safety needs. Our mission is to keep our Orlando fire sprinkler services at the forefront of innovation, and we are keeping a close eye on advancements in IoT tech.
When you’re ready to see everything DynaFire can do for your business, say, “Hey Siri, call DynaFire!” or contact us the old-fashioned way. Either way, we look forward to keeping you safe with the latest in Fire & Life Safety technology.
