Siemens fire detection portfolio announced
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has unveiled the Cerberus Nova fire detector portfolio, a new range designed for connected buildings and intended for sectors including healthcare, higher education, data centres and commercial real estate.
Siemens said the detectors are designed to support operational safety, improve service team efficiency and enable cloud-connected digital services.
The portfolio includes continuous self-checking through Disturbance-Free Testing technology, alongside Smoke Entry Supervision technology that monitors smoke entry points in real time.
In healthcare settings, the detectors are intended to support continuous detection and reduce potential system downtime.
ASAplus technology uses multi-wavelength optical and dual thermal detection to reduce false alarms and unnecessary evacuations.
The detectors are also compatible with cloud-based applications including Siemens Building X Fire Apps, allowing real-time monitoring, remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance.
Siemens details use cases across sectors
In data centres, the detectors are positioned to address risks linked to overheating and electrical failures in environments with dense electrical infrastructure and continuous operational demands.
Automated self-checks, cloud-based monitoring and predictive maintenance are intended to help facility teams respond earlier and reduce disruption to critical IT and electrical assets.
Across higher education and commercial real estate, the portfolio is aimed at organisations managing multiple buildings across different sites.
Continuous monitoring and proactive maintenance are intended to help teams maintain consistent protection standards and reduce unnecessary disruption across dispersed estates.
Upgrade path and production details
Peter Nebiker, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure Buildings, said: “The launch of our Cerberus Nova fire detection portfolio is a game-changer in ensuring all alarms are accurate.
“By moving from periodic checks to continuous, data-driven, self-supervising systems, we’re laying the foundation for truly human-centric, autonomous buildings.
“By automating testing, delivering real-time insights, and enabling remote action, these solutions protect people while freeing up staff to focus on strategic priorities.
“This shift isn’t just about innovation – it’s about smarter, safer, and more efficient operations.”
The detectors are designed for stepwise upgrades in both green- and brownfield projects.
Existing fire panels remain compatible, with plug-and-play integration and automatic transfer of configured settings intended to reduce installation time and risk.
Siemens said the detectors carry its EcoTech environmental product performance label, are made from recycled plastics and were developed and are produced in Switzerland.
