Life safety and security are high priorities in India. The number of programmes and the level of ambition for safety and security has increased dramatically over the last 12 months, which has included a raised interest in PSIM solutions. The market revenues of India Fire & Safety equipment market are expected to reach US$4.94 billion by the end of 2019 according to India Fire & Safety Equipment Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2019.

CNL Software’s presentation at FSAI PACC will explore how PSIM is enabling organisations across the globe get to grips with the diverse range of technology typically used in security and life safety, such as fire detection and alarms, CCTV, access control, lift management, mustering and mass notification systems. Where some of these have traditionally been reactive systems, there is a far more proactive role for them with the help of PSIM.

The session will discuss how PSIM provides comprehensive situational management, enabling and optimising situation planning, realistic training programmes and faster response to security incidents and life safety emergencies; enables step-by-step operator guidance to be pre-configured to ensure compliance to standards such as life safety and fire codes. Examples will be presented on how PSIM proactively coordinates emergency responses in the event of a fire from, evacuating staff and visitors to atomically managing mustering to notifying emergency services of the presence of hazardous materials. It will also cover the convergence of security and life safety systems and will look at how IoT is playing an increasing role in our safety environments.

“The Indian market has a number of challenges, such as availability of infrastructure and education on safety and security and through the work being done by organisations such as the FSAI, these challenges are being addressed and paving the way for integrated PSIM security and safety”, says Adlan Hussain, VP Marketing at CNL Software. “But when incidents happen it is crucial that organisations respond quickly, utilising real-time situation guidance based on standard operating procedures framework, which is where PSIM helps to affect the fastest and most appropriate response when it really counts!”
