10 July 2024

Digitalization has revolutionized the inspection and maintenance of fire protection systems, optimizing efficiency and precision. In an interview with Real Estate Market, David González Pérez, deputy director of Alliance Specialized Systems, highlighted how digital platforms ensure accessible records and regulatory compliance.

Innovation in Inspection Tools

In the last seven years, inspection services have evolved significantly. Initially, paper forms were used, generating many reports that were difficult to manage. With digitalization, companies like Alliance started using basic tools like Excel. However, the real breakthrough came with specific digital platforms that allow technicians to scan barcodes or QR codes attached to equipment, automatically recording crucial information.

Benefits of Digitalization

These platforms allow you to create a “birth certificate” for each device, documenting details such as model and location. During inspections, technicians can access formats pre-established by fire protection standards, such as NFPA. All information is stored in the cloud, guaranteeing immediate availability for clients, who can consult the records at any time. Each visit generates a digital report that can be signed directly on the technician's tablet or phone.

Importance of Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance of fire protection systems is essential to ensure their continued operability and functionality. These systems, which represent a significant investment in industrial projects, must receive regular maintenance to ensure their correct functioning. The main objective is to keep the systems always operational and ready to respond to emergencies.

Building Requirements

Fire protection systems are essential in a variety of buildings, especially those operated by international corporations with high safety standards. Industries such as automotive, electronics, pharmaceuticals, food, telecommunications, hospitality and data centers require these systems and their regular maintenance.

Accessibility of Electronic Records

It is crucial that electronic records indicating the proper functioning of systems are available to maintenance and safety managers. These files demonstrate that inspections are carried out on time and allow insurers and Civil Protection to review them at any time. Keeping information up to date minimizes risks and ensures that insurers cover damages in the event of an accident.

Digitalization has transformed the inspection and maintenance of fire protection systems, providing greater efficiency, precision and accessibility. Alliance Specialized Systems stands out in the implementation of these innovative digital tools, facilitating regulatory compliance and optimizing the management of fire protection systems, thus ensuring the safety and continued operability of protected facilities.
