Modernise fire safety

Advanced’s double win at last year’s FSM Awards and mark a significant milestone in its ongoing mission

These accolades follow Advanced’s double win at last year’s FSM Awards and mark a significant milestone in its ongoing mission to create a safer, more sustainable future.

Advanced’s installation of its AdvancedLive system at Blists Hill Victorian Town earned the company Fire Safety Project of the Year. Delivered in partnership with Chubb Fire & Security, the project showcased how cutting-edge technology can be tailored to meet the challenges of a historically sensitive, multi-structure site.

Wireless connectivity, intuitive controls, and a bespoke visual interface helped modernise fire safety across the landmark site without compromising its heritage.

Meanwhile, the judging panel commended the strength and innovation behind Advanced’s next-generation MxPro 5 fire panel, which played a key role in earning recognition in the Fire Safety Manufacturer of the Year category.

Featuring a faster processor, improved configuration speeds, and seamless integration with AdvancedLive, the panel highlights the company’s commitment to smarter, more connected fire system management. Combined with continued investment in product development and responsiveness to market needs, these advancements helped distinguish Advanced in a highly competitive category.
