In modern facilities, effective safety management requires not only reliable systems, but also their seamless integration and centralized control. In response to these needs, Roger has developed VISO SMS software – an advanced Security Management System (SMS) platform that enables monitoring and comprehensive management of various safety systems from a single interface.
One of the key applications of VISO SMS is its integration with fire alarm systems, including POLON 4000 and POLON 6000 control panels by POLON-ALFA. Thanks to this integration, operators gain full situational awareness, enabling faster, more precise, and procedure-compliant responses in emergency situations.
What is VISO SMS?
VISO SMS is a advanced safety management software that serves as a central hub for supervising security systems within a facility. It enables:
- Monitoring the status of systems (e.g., fire, alarm, access control),
- Visualizing events on facility maps,
- Managing safety scenarios,
- Logging operator actions,
- Generating reports and summaries.
The system supports security personnel by providing a modern and intuitive user interface designed for operational efficiency.
Integration with POLON Control Panels – How It Works
VISO SMS enables software-level integration with POLON-ALFA fire alarm panels:
- POLON 4000 – communication via RS232 serial port using the PMC-4000
- POLON 6000 – integration via Ethernet network, allowing fast and scalable data exchange.
This integration enables:
- Monitoring fire panel statuses (alarms, faults, tests, malfunctions),
- Visualizing detectors and fire zones on facility maps,
- Displaying events in an alarm stack with prioritization,
- Real-time threat localization,
- Triggering safety scenarios aligned with site-specific procedures (e.g., alerting services, activating signalling devices, controlling other systems).
Why Integrate VISO SMS with POLON Panels?
Integration of VISO SMS with POLON 4000/6000 panels offers numerous benefits for administrators, operators, and facility owners:
- Rapid and Accurate Response to Threats
Event visualization and alarm prioritization allow operators to quickly identify threats and take appropriate action. - Centralization of Information
All safety system data is consolidated into a single, coherent interface, eliminating the need to switch between multiple applications, significantly reducing response times and simplifying operation. - Automated Procedures
The system supports the definition and execution of safety scenarios – such as alerting emergency services, activating alarms, or controlling other systems eg., ventilation and access systems. - Comprehensive Event Logging
Every operator action is logged, enabling incident analysis, audits, and continuous improvement of safety protocols. - Scalability and Flexibility
VISO SMS supports multi-station environments, with customizable operator permissions and system expansion aligned with infrastructure growth.
Applications Across Sectors
The integration of VISO SMS with POLON 4000/6000 panels is applicable across various industries and facility types where fire safety is critical:
- Healthcare – hospitals, clinics, laboratories: rapid threat localization and patient evacuation.
- Industry & Logistics – manufacturing plants, warehouses: integration with BMS and automated response.
- Administration & Offices – multi-story buildings, shared service centres: centralized safety management.
- Education & Public Institutions – schools, universities, government offices: procedural transparency and regulatory compliance.
Summary
The integration of VISO SMS with POLON 4000/6000 fire alarm panels addresses the growing demand for centralized and automated safety management. This collaboration provides operators with a powerful tool that enhances threat response efficiency while supporting the daily operations of security and technical administration teams.
VISO SMS is not only a technical solution but also an organizational asset – enabling effective management of personnel, procedures, and infrastructure within a unified, integrated environment.
