Fire Safety Systems Modernisation

From monolith to services for fire panels, and SIP for voice alarm systems. As Systems Architect at a global building-technology company (2021–2022), I led the architecture for both changes.

The case study

Technologies: service-based architecture, SIP, embedded systems, safety-critical systems, systems engineering

The challenge

Fire panels and voice alarms protect people, so dependability comes first
Monolithic fire panel software made new features slow and costly
Voice alarm communications needed a scalable, standards-based approach

My approach

Broke fire panel functionality into well-defined services with clear interfaces
Introduced SIP-based communication into voice alarm systems
Kept reliability and life-safety regulations central to every decision

Lower operational cost and easier feature rollout for fire panels
Scalable, standards-based communications for voice alarms in safety-critical buildings
