Case Study: Revolutionizing Fire Safety Management at a Shanghai Grade 5A Office Tower
Client: Premier commercial property management firm in Shanghai
Industry: Smart Building & Facility Management
Solutions Deployed: Smart Water Pressure Monitors, AI-enabled Alarm Control Panels, Multifunction Smoke Detectors, AI Vision Cameras
Challenge:
The 45-story landmark faced critical gaps in its legacy fire protection system:
🔥 Hidden Risks: No real-time monitoring of water pressure in pumps/hydrants, risking system failure during emergencies.
🔥 Manual Inspections: Monthly checks of 800+ devices wasted 120+ staff hours.
🔥 False Alarms: Traditional smoke detectors triggered unnecessary evacuations (avg. 3/month).
🔥 Compliance Pressure: Needed to meet Shanghai’s updated GB 50116-2013 fire codes for smart buildings.
