In the age of digitalisation, new control and automation technologies enable new ways of working. That fire protection can also be further digitalised was demonstrated by the first networked sprinkler control centre, where all data of the sprinkler system is monitored with the help of CalanOnTrack®.
CalanOnTrack® is an application for sprinkler systems. It simplifies maintenance and serves as an aid for the weekly checks by the operator. This enables predictive maintenance, so that failures can be reduced to a minimum and thus costs can be saved. Not only faults are digitally recorded in the app, but also defects and measures.
