Building High-Rise: Fire & Safety Implementation
Key Building Challenges
1. Compliance with building,
federal and local safety
inspection regulations
2. Thousands of industrial
equipment parts, on paper
labels
3. Improve traceability of
maintenance logs
4. Antiquated maintenance
scheduling

Industrial Sprinkler Equipment Systems
Mission:
Simplify and streamline maintenance & inspection process for industrial sprinkler equipment
Deployment Technical Requirements:
1. Easy integration into various sprinkler
equipment and CMMS software applications
2. Must be mobile environment for field workers
3. Digital “proof of compliance” and reporting for
regulatory mandates
4. Authenticate the technician to the specific
equipment that is being serviced
5. Tag application must be flexible, and robust to
affix to the various equipment & conditions
An ASSA ABLOY Group brand
The Solution: Trusted Automated Maintenance & Inspection
Trusted Tag NFC Automated HID Cloud
1. Strong Decision Authentication
Authentication 1. CMMS 1. HID
2. Tamper Evident 2. Mobile Process Authentication
NFC Type 4 + 3. Reporting 2. SaaS
Barcode
Facilitates a secure, efficient transaction when technician taps their
smartphone on the tagged sprinkler system

RFID is a great way to wirelessly identify / authenticate objects
For certain applications it is essential to ensure tags are not cloned
and remain with the item to identify
Logical Security (cryptography) prevents against tag cloning,
eavesdropping, man-in-the middle etc. and enables applications
like access control, payment and authentication
Physical security can be achieved with different approaches
(vTamper, eTamper, edTamper) – mostly for tamper evidence
purposes due to cost/benefit requirements
Combining both approaches leads to powerful solutions like
„Proof of Presence“ across technologies
