FEP6500 Fire Protection Systems
About This Course
This module explores the transformation of fire protection systems in the context of Industry 4.0. It examines how digitalisation and connectivity enable real-time monitoring and communication among fire detection, suppression, and building management systems. Participants will learn how smart manufacturing principles and intelligent control systems enhance system performance and reliability. Through data analytics and AI, the module highlights the use of predictive maintenance and data-driven decision-making to optimise fire safety operations. It also covers the role of automation and robotics in improving precision and efficiency, as well as the use of additive manufacturing for customised safety components. The integration of cyber-physical systems is emphasised for real-time control and system resilience. In line with Industry 4.0, the module underscores the importance of reskilling and upskilling professionals to manage and innovate within these advanced, technology-enabled environments while ensuring compliance with relevant codes, standards, and sustainability practices.
