In our recent upgrade of the fire detection infrastructure, we selected this solution to simplify the overall system architecture and strengthen our cybersecurity approach. Previously, fire detectors were procured together with stand-alone fire control panels. The new setup allows Siemens fire detectors to communicate directly with our central supervisory control system. This integration enables us to manage and secure the cybersecurity environment internally, ensuring higher control, transparency, and alignment with our IT security standards. The solution contributes to a more streamlined, efficient, and future-ready system architecture.
