SmokeESC
Overview
A configuration interface designed to simplify setup and maintenance of smoke control pressure systems in commercial buildings.
Background
Smoke control systems rely on pressure controllers and regulators to maintain safe evacuation conditions during a fire. Configuring these devices typically requires programming knowledge and specialist tools, making the process slow and dependent on trained engineers. This creates delays during installation and increases the risk of configuration errors.
The problem
Commissioning smoke control systems often requires complex programming and specialist expertise, making configuration slow, error-prone, and difficult to perform on-site while also increasing reliance on highly specialized and costly technicians.
Results
Eliminated the need for manual programming by introducing a visual configuration interface, enabling engineers to set up controllers through direct parameter editing.
Reduced commissioning complexity by transforming technical configuration into a guided, structured setup process, lowering the risk of configuration errors.
Enabled faster system deployment and maintenance, reducing dependency on highly specialized technicians during installation and servicing.
