Abstract: An alarm management system includes a control arrangement, an alarm device, a blockchain, a blockchain application, and a plurality of nodal access sites. The arrangement includes a processor and a storage medium. The device is configured to output an event signal to the control arrangement. The blockchain is stored in the medium, and includes a plurality of transaction types. Each transaction type includes at least one linked transaction, and the at least one linked transaction is time stamped. The blockchain application is stored in the medium, and is executed by the processor, and is configured to time stamp each one of the transactions. The blockchain is applied by the application to determine a current associated transaction with any one of the transaction types, and output data associated with the current transaction. The plurality of nodal access sites are configured to receive and output the data associated with the current transaction.

Abstract: A system is provided that includes a memory system storing a plurality of executable instructions. The system also includes a processing system operably coupled to the memory system. The executable instructions when executed by the processing system cause the system to access a plurality of building structural data, ductwork layout data, and fire suppression system layout data associated with a building. A location of a user device within the building is identified. An overlay image is created that includes a three-dimensional depiction of a portion of a ductwork layout and a fire suppression system layout based on an overlay of the ductwork layout data and the fire suppression system layout data with respect to the building structural data and the location of the user device. The overlay image is output to a display component.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for interfacing system controls are provided. Aspects include receiving, by a processor, object data for a plurality of objects. An object profile is generated for each of the plurality of objects based at least in part on the object data and one or more communication platforms are accessed. The object profiles for each of the plurality of objects are registered with the one or more communication platforms.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to manage a building evacuation of at least one building occupant in response to an emergency event in a building is provided, the method including detecting the emergency event via at least one emergency sensor, providing an emergency event signal corresponding to the emergency event via the at least one emergency sensor to a building management system, and providing an alert to at least one occupant device associated with the at least one building occupant via the building management system, wherein the alert includes a building floor plan.
