Johnson Controls, the pioneer for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, is reinforcing its commitment to providing comprehensive life safety solutions across industries by unveiling solutions designed specifically for the non-acute healthcare and correctional facilities industries.
The company’s non-acute bundled solution combines advanced security and fire prevention technologies to help modernise healthcare facilities, improve safety and enhance overall patient and staff experience. Additionally, Johnson Controls is expanding its correctional facilities offerings to address the growing challenges of outdated and often overlooked buildings, helping communities ensure that they have the necessary infrastructure to enhance security and emergency response.
Enhancing security and efficiency in non-acute healthcare
As demand for clinics, urgent care centres, outpatient facilities, and other non-acute healthcare environments increases, Johnson Controls is providing bundled solutions that integrate critical aspects of security and fire prevention technologies including:
- Video Surveillance & Access Control – Strengthening physical security and facility oversight with AI and data analytics.
- Weapons & Gunshot Detection – Leveraging a cloud-based security solution to enhance threat prevention.
- Fire Safety Innovations – Suppression systems such as connected sprinkler systems and emergency lighting that can improve safety.
Integrating advanced security
“By integrating advanced security, fire prevention and technologies that connect building systems, Johnson Controls is helping to create safer, more resilient non-acute healthcare environments,” said James Burke, vice president, product sales & lifecycle solutions at Johnson Controls.
“Our latest bundle leverages industry expertise and advanced technology to streamline operations, optimise staffing resources and can enhance patient and staff safety in outpatient clinics, urgent care centres, long-term care facilities and more. In these settings—where staff are stretched thin and operational efficiency directly impacts patient care—having the right technologies and service helps to provide a safe, comfortable environment for both patients and caregivers.”
Strengthening correctional facilities
Johnson Controls has taken steps to enhance security for penal facilities, including state and federal prisons
In parallel, Johnson Controls has taken steps to enhance security for correctional facilities including state and federal prisons, county and local jails and detention centres.
Across the U.S. and Canada, Johnson Controls is addressing the challenges that correctional facilities can face due to outdated infrastructure and decades of underinvestment by upgrading HVAC, fire, and security systems to modern standards, improving both safety and operational efficiency.
Johnson Controls security systems
Johnson Controls provides correctional facilities with tailored solutions such as video surveillance, visitor management, fire detection systems, fire suppression and more to help create safer and more secure environments for both the occupants and facilities.
“Nearly one-third of correctional facilities are over 50 years old and are in critical need of key upgrades – from security systems to mechanical equipment,” said Greg Parker, vice president, lifecycle solutions at Johnson Controls. “Not only can these upgrades enhance overall conditions and safety for facility personnel, inmates and visitors, but the utility bills can also be lower due to overall operational efficiency.”
