INTRODUCING ES-X SMOKE CONTROL SOLUTIONS
The real challenges behind traditional smoke control systems.
Many traditional smoke extract systems rely on fragmented controls, limited visibility, complicated wiring strategies, and difficult commissioning processes. For installers and building operators, this can create unnecessary complexity, extended project timelines, and systems that are difficult to monitor or maintain after handover.
By combining intelligent control logic, simplified panel architecture, remote diagnostics, and scalable integration capabilities, ES-X helps deliver safer, more manageable smoke ventilation systems across a wide range of building types.

Traditional Smoke Extract Controls
What most standard market solutions still rely on:
Limited remote access and visibility.
Many systems still rely on local-only control with little real-time visibility into system performance, alarms, or airflow conditions.
Complex smoke damper and fan integration.
Traditional smoke extract systems require multiple standalone controllers and complicated field wiring to coordinate dampers, fans, and fire signals.
Fixed operation with limited airflow control.
Basic fan enable strategies can lead to unstable airflow, pressure imbalance, and inconsistent smoke management during emergencies.
Difficult commissioning and fault diagnostics.
Limited monitoring and fragmented controls make testing, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance more time-consuming.
ES-X Controls
What you get in our new solution:
Remote connectivity and live system visibility.
Access, monitor, and control smoke extract systems remotely in real time with full alarm, status, and airflow visibility.
Integrated smoke control strategy.
ES-X combines fan control, smoke dampers, pressure monitoring, and fire alarm integration into one intelligent platform.
Reduced installation time, materials and control panel size.
Maintain stable airflow and stairwell pressurisation using intelligent pressure and fan control strategies during emergency operation.
New innovative system features, at no additional cost.
Built-in diagnostics, live monitoring, and simplified integration reduce commissioning time and improve long-term serviceability.
