12 Sep Johnson Controls releases cloud-based infrastructure, SafeLINC

Johnson Controls announced the release of SafeLINC, a cloud-based data-hosting infrastructure that gives users the power to remotely access and gather actionable data from their entire suite of FireClass fire alarm control panels.

SafeLINC provides users with a cloud-connected gateway and a cloud application platform accessible via web browsers and native iOS and Android mobile apps.

Together, these components provide facility managers and technicians with real-time life safety infrastructure for faster, more effective emergency response, management capabilities and ongoing maintenance planning.

The SafeLINC web UI connects users to the cloud platform where they can access and gather information from all the control panels connected to their account as if they were standing in front of the panels themselves. Facility managers can use this interface to remotely view panel status, view and search current and historical control panel events using filters, and access reports.

“At Johnson Controls, we are proud to announce the launch of SafeLINC and the potential it unlocks for our customers,” said Colm Healy, senior product manager, Johnson Controls.

“Facility managers now have the ability to monitor all fire control panels and networks for which they are responsible, from anywhere. SafeLINC not only provides critical life safety information during emergency situations but is a key tool in maximising the efficiency of system maintenance and servicing operations.”
