Honeywell expanded its fire and life safety portfolio by introducing a new generation of smoke control capabilities within its NOTIFIER INSPIRE platform alongside a suite of cloud-connected innovations.
The advancements aim to transition users away from fragmented, manual fire safety processes toward a more connected life safety ecosystem. The updated system is designed to simplify installation, modernize compliance verification and improve emergency response coordination.
Developed in collaboration with customer advisory board members, the latest NOTIFIER INSPIRE release features fully integrated smoke control capabilities. The system utilizes a unified architecture intended to reduce system fragmentation, lower total system costs and accelerate deployment. The design also allows for retrofits and upgrades using a building's existing infrastructure.
The system features a natively integrated purge function designed to automatically respond to carbon monoxide events. Upon detecting carbon monoxide, the system exhausts contaminated air from the affected zone while introducing fresh air to reduce gas concentration levels. During a fire-mode operation, the system manages airflow to contain smoke and limit oxygen delivery to the affected area.
Honeywell also introduced new capabilities within its Connected Life Safety Services platform to manage data across the fire safety lifecycle.
A new feature, Zone Sync, aligns floor plans, device mapping and alarm zones across systems to maintain consistent data for facility operators and first responders. Additionally, the company launched CLSS Rescue Assist, a tool designed to provide building teams and emergency personnel with real-time visibility to support occupants requiring extra assistance during emergencies.
The portfolio expansion also includes the Phoenix G2 ATX Cellular Alerting system, which adds redundant cellular communication to Honeywell's first responder platform. The communication link is designed to maintain dispatch notifications during network disruptions.
