Marioff pioneers IoT innovation in water mist fire protection

Helsinki-based Marioff, a global leader in water mist fire protection, is proud to be among the first in the fire protection industry to introduce an Internet of Things (IoT) solution—uniquely designed for high-pressure water mist systems. This new technology enables real-time monitoring, smart alerts, and centralised control, setting a new benchmark for safety, operational efficiency, and peace of mind.

As a company that designs complete fire protection systems, Marioff has been advancing the HI-FOG® solution for over three decades. The new IoT solution builds on this legacy—seamlessly integrating with existing HI-FOG systems to provide continuous visibility, real-time alerts, and smarter system management.

“Our IoT solution marks a significant step forward in fire safety,” says Juha Ilvonen, CEO of Marioff. “It helps ensure systems are always monitored and ready—protecting people, property, and business continuity.”

The new system empowers users with remote access and centralised control across multiple sites.

“This technology gives customers full visibility of their HI-FOG system—no matter where they are,” says Samuli Bäck, Manager, Connected Services. “It means faster decisions, proactive maintenance, and ultimately, safer environments.”

Key features include:

- Real-Time Monitoring: Constant oversight of system status and performance

- Automated Alerts: Immediate notifications about events, issues, or maintenance

- Centralised Management: View and manage multiple systems through one interface

- Data Insights: Performance analytics to support predictive maintenance

With this launch, Marioff says it is setting a new standard for fire protection. As the demand for connected, intelligent safety systems grows, it remains committed to engineering solutions that protect what matters most. The solution will be first made available for selected pilot users before opening the platform to a wider userbase.
