Fire Detection Systems
Our FireCell platform offers intelligent wireless fire detection systems certified to EN54-25 standards. These systems provide deterministic signal reliability through patented Hub & Cluster technology, supporting installations from single buildings to multi-site networks. With BS:5839-compliant battery management extending device life beyond five years, our solutions combine cost-effectiveness with seamless integration into new or existing infrastructure.
Wireless Door Controllers
BS7273-4 certified wireless door controllers integrate with FireCell systems to manage fire door operations. These devices enable controlled door release during activations while preventing illegal wedging open. Supporting both new installations and retrofits, they offer configurable cause-and-effect programming and compatibility with conventional or addressable systems through wireless gateways.
Control Panels
We provide scalable control panels ranging from single-loop Syncro AS units to multi-panel Taktis networks. Our systems support up to 126 devices per loop with wireless networking across 16 panels. Compatible with XP95 protocol panels from multiple manufacturers, our solutions offer hybrid capabilities combining wireless and wired components for flexible system design.
Smart Fire Systems
The SmartCell system delivers compact fire detection for SMEs with remote diagnostics via integrated communication modules. Supporting up to 64 devices, it features combination detectors with smoke, heat, and visual alarm functions. The system enables real-time alerts through text or email and integrates non-fire devices like flood or gas detectors for comprehensive safety monitoring.
Wireless Zone Monitors
Our intelligent Wireless Zone Monitors (iWZM) integrate SmartCell devices with any control panel. Supporting up to 16 wireless devices per unit, they enable power-hungry components like sounders without draining loop resources. The solution facilitates system upgrades while maintaining BS5839 compliance through self-contained battery power for each connected device.

Report
I worked here through a temping agency for just over a week. I was a pcb solderer. First week was okay. Being trained and seeing what the job involves. Second week was put on proper production work. Still getting into things and improving my skills. Thought I was doing well until I got a phone call from the agency saying they don't want me anymore. If your not spot on in a week they will ditch you.
Now I know why they are always advertising for workers. The company invests loads on machines and production. Nice clean toilets and canteen. Good on site parking. There is a real mixture of people working there. All very polite and friendly. Its a shame I wasn't given enough time to develop my skills.
