At iTouch Smart Tech, we’ve spent the past few years developing innovative ways to improve fire safety compliance in both workplaces and homes because ultimately, fire compliance saves lives.
We’re proud to introduce the Safety Analytics Monitoring (SAM) device, a smart solution designed to ensure that buildings remain compliant and occupants stay protected in the event of a fire.
What is SAM?
SAM is designed to monitor the performance of fire doors during both drills and real fire alarms. In a multi-storey building with multiple rooms, corridors and exits, it’s critical to know whether fire doors are closing properly and quickly enough to prevent the spread of smoke and flames. With SAM, you can verify which doors closed, how fast they closed, and whether your building meets fire safety requirements, all in real time.
Packed with Smart Technology
The SAM device is built for modern buildings and facilities. Key features include:
- Ultra-low power processor for long-lasting performance
- LoRaWAN connectivity, ensuring wireless signals reach every corner of the building
- Amorphous solar cell that charges even under low indoor lighting (such as in offices, schools, train stations and museums)
- D.C. plugin terminal for locations without sufficient light, which also allows monitoring of power to fire door maglocks, ensuring they release during a fire
- Built-in door contact detector, triggered via magnet
- External door contact input, ideal for double fire door configurations
Why It Matters
In buildings with numerous fire doors, it’s nearly impossible to manually and frequently check that every door operates correctly, until it’s too late. With the iTouch SAM system, facilities managers and fire safety officers can:
- Automatically detect if each fire door closed during a fire event
- Measure how quickly doors closed
- Receive reports within minutes after a drill or alarm
- Review historical data for ongoing compliance and auditing
- Gain peace of mind knowing their building is actively monitored and compliant
As one of our clients put it:
“Every burnt toast is a test.”
With SAM, even a false alarm becomes a valuable insight.
Protecting People Through Data
Fire safety compliance is not just a box-ticking exercise, it’s a vital part of protecting lives. With iTouch SAM, you’re not only maintaining compliance, but taking proactive steps to ensure your building responds correctly when it matters most.
