Capability demo
Fire safety & complianceEvery smoke detector, mapped and ready for its next inspection
A demonstration on a university campus, showing how a single scan becomes a searchable fire safety record instead of a stack of separate inspection reports.
The situation
Fire safety rules place the responsibility squarely on the building owner and user: escape routes, compartmentation, detection and extinguishing equipment all need to be in place, working, and inspected on schedule. Straightforward to state, harder to keep up with in practice. Buildings change. Departments move between wings, floors get reconfigured, equipment gets replaced or added, especially true on a university campus with dozens of buildings and constant reshuffling between faculties.
Research into existing buildings keeps finding the same kinds of gaps: missing escape-route signage, holes in fire compartmentation, blocked emergency exits, extinguishers past their inspection date. Rarely from anyone ignoring the rules, usually because the paper trail didn't keep pace with the building. Especially when staff changes, no one is quite sure anymore what's where or when it was last checked.
The approach
01
Scan the building.
02
Automatically classify fire doors, escape routes, and safety installations, and check them against the building's current layout.
03
Map the exact location of every smoke detector and fire extinguisher, linked to when each one is due for inspection, testing, or replacement.
The outcome
What used to live scattered across separate PDF inspection reports becomes one searchable record: instantly checkable, instead of pieced together report by report. With ScanPlan's Building Intelligent Agent, users can ask questions directly and generate reports or comparisons, instead of reconstructing that manually.
A facilities manager preparing for an audit no longer starts by digging through years of inspection paperwork to reconstruct where every extinguisher and detector is. All information, only one question away.
