Operatives will be able to view a real-time map of all Smart Fire Doors in a building and ensure that they are compliant. Doors can be programmed to alarm when propped open or when opened, to record the number of times they have been opened and prompt when maintenance is due and to show if they are closing too slowly or quickly. The Smart Fire Doors software has been designed to integrate seamlessly into existing alarm systems enabling users to create reports immediately following alarm tests or incidents. The teams at Drax Technology and Firedoors have used their extensive experience to develop the Smart Fire Doors system to offer specifiers the ability to meet the highest standards of fire door compliance, to maintain these standards and to prove compliance simply and quickly. Commenting on the launch Tim Askew, Chairman and founder of Firedoors says: “The development of this product has been a real priority for our business. From its inception we were very excited by the potential safety and operational benefits Smart Fire Doors offers and believed it was important to bring the product to market as quickly and cost efficiently as possible so that it can start to have a positive impact. I’m delighted to have been able to launch the product at Firex where so many influential and experienced industry professionals had the opportunity to test the concept and offer feedback.” The Smart Fire Door system was shown for the first time at Firex and will be available shortly afterwards following the completion of a successful pilot project. The installation of Smart Fire Doors will be supported by a full package of installation and IT operation training managed by Firedoors and Drax Technology.
