Responding more quickly to a fire: Actimeat’s solution with Mon SSI Facile

A major challenge at industrial sites with low occupancy

In industrial settings, particularly in the food processing industry, the speed at which a fire is detected is essential. An isolated incident can have immediate consequences for equipment, production, personnel safety, and, more broadly, business continuity.

Modern facilities often include numerous technical or sensitive areas: attics, electrical cabinets, power rooms, storage areas, or peripheral spaces. All of them require reliable, continuous fire monitoring.

But when the site is closed or has low traffic—particularly at night, on weekends, or outside of production hours—managing an alert becomes more complex. On-call teams must be able to quickly understand what is happening, pinpoint the location of the incident, and effectively investigate the cause—without wasting precious time on lengthy procedures or having to immediately travel to the fire safety control room.

The challenge is therefore clear: detect incidents quickly, assess the alert promptly, and enable the right people to respond immediately—even remotely.

The solution deployed: a comprehensive fire safety system, enhanced by Mon SSI Facile

To secure its Grandes Terres industrial site, built in 2019, Actimeat relied on a suite of DEF solutions tailored to the diverse risks present on the site.

The installation includes, among other things:

• a conventional fire detection system using ORION smoke detectors;
• a CASSIOPEE power station;
• specific detection in the attic using PROCYON;
• an automatic CO₂ fire suppression system to protect the power cabinets;
• as well as a DRACONIS thermal camera to monitor trash bins and anticipate the risk of fires.

Since 1 January 2024, the site has also been supported by the 1er janvier Mon SSI Facile. The tool lets health and safety managers, technical teams and on-call staff receive fire alerts on their smartphone straight away.

With the app, users can:

• immediately identify the affected area;
• view the surveillance cameras;
• resolve issues more quickly;
• save crucial time before any on-site intervention.

This ability to access information in real time is fundamentally changing how alerts are managed: teams no longer learn about the situation only when they arrive at the fire station; they now have immediate access to an initial overview, right on their mobile devices.

In a fire, that saved time is decisive. This ability to access information in real time is fundamentally changing how alerts are managed: teams no longer learn about the situation only when they arrive at the fire station; they now have immediate access to an initial overview, right on their mobile devices. However, in the event of a fire, this time savings is crucial. The first few minutes are often what make the difference between an incident that is brought under control and a disaster with much more serious consequences.

The DEF advantage: aligning fire safety with operational realities

With its connected solutions, DEF helps manufacturers manage their fire safety in a more responsive and transparent way.

What matters is not only detecting, but allowing operators to understand better, mieux qualifier et mieux traiter l’alerte, including when the managers are not physically on site.

In this context, Mon SSI Facile offers several tangible benefits:

• receiving fire alerts in real time on a smartphone;
• immediate identification of the area where the alarm was triggered;
• facilitating remote verification;
• improving the responsiveness of on-call teams;
• better continuity of monitoring when the site is closed or has few people on site.

This approach helps enhance safety, speed of response, and operational reliability. It also simplifies the day-to-day work of teams by making critical information more accessible at the right time.

Actimeat’s experience illustrates a widely shared need in the food industry: to have a fire safety system capable not only of detecting fires effectively, but also of providing the right information for decision-making immediately, in order to protect installations and minimise the impact on operations.
