More about Building X Fire Apps

Exceptional social care in customized buildings

Care centers from Vivium acknowledge the importance of emotional well-being and social interaction for residents. They facilitate a highly supportive and professional environment where residents can engage in activities promoting mental stimulation, socialization, and emotional support. While they offer special opportunities for social engagement, the Vivium care centers have high-class buildings tailored to people's needs. The buildings encompass their own infrastructure with pathways, parks, gardens, restaurants, and furniture design.

Ten facilities within our care group are connected so far to the cloud. If there is an alarm, everyone involved receives an immediate notification on their cell phone, tablet or PC so that action can be taken quickly.

At Vivium, ensuring carefree and safe living is top priority

Vivium is more than just a care center catering to diverse individuals with varying needs.

Besides excellent, personalized, caring programs, the staff members go above and beyond to build meaningful relationships with each resident, ensuring they feel cherished and valued.

Secure and safe oasis

As a protected home for vulnerable people fire safety in care centers must be a top priority to minimize the risks associated with fires and to protect the lives of individuals within these facilities.

No false alarms and uneccesary evacuations

False fire alarms can cause confusion and panic among residents and it can lead to inefficiencies and potential delays in responding to genuine emergencies later on.

Remote real-time monitoring

As a protected home for vulnerable people fire safety in care centers is a top priority to minimize the risks associated with fires and to protect the lives of individuals within these facilities.

Disturbance-free testing

Disturbance-free testing is efficient for fire professionals and doesn`t interrupt everyday life routines for residents and staff. Tests can be done remote.

Why Building X Fire Apps is the right solution for Siemens Partner Lomans?

How do you make operating fire safety systems, detector monitoring, and maintenance more straightforward and efficient for service technicians? The technicians always had to be 'on-site' with traditional fire alarm systems for operation and maintenance. Now, most of it can be done remotely.

Advantages for service provider Lomans

Since 100 years Lomans is a total installer from the Netherlands and they are specialized on working on smart buildings and sustainable installations.
The cloud-based Fire Manager allows Lomans to oversee fire safety systems remotely on one platform. Remote monitoring streamlines the entire operational process. This saves time for routine checks and unnessessary car rides.
The Fire Connect app complements the Fire Manager. It empowers technicians to test detectors remotely, generate system reports and receive instant event notifications.
Predictive maintenance reduces emergency repair costs by addressing issues before they escalate. Fire Manager analyzes data down to soiling level for efficient planning, while remote troubleshooting minimizes downtime.

Why Building X Fire Apps are the right solution for building owner Vivium?

How can fire safety systems be made more reliable for building owners and residents? Remote monitoring and disturbance-free testing ensure that residents are not disturbed. Moreover, traditional detectors were sensitive to false alarms. Now, with ASAtechnology, this is a thing of the past.

Advantages for building owner Vivium

Vivium is a renowned care specialist with 16 care centers in the southern region of Amsterdam alone. Seven of its thirteen centers near the Dutch capital are now connected to the cloud-enabled Building X Fire Manager.
Fire Manager provides real-time monitoring of fire hazards. It sends immediate push messages to service technicians and facility managers, allowing faster response times and more effective evacuation procedures.
Service technicians can remotely monitor the fire safety system from anywhere. Vivium gets fast assistance, even if service technicians are not physically present.
In this project, 3.000 detectors were modernized because false alarms could not be accepted anymore. With Siemens ASAtechnology, no false alarms are guaranteed.
The built-in DFTtechnology makes disturbance-free detector testing possible, making testing more efficient, and residents don`t have to leave their rooms.
