Overview

In a commercial kitchen, safety, air quality, and energy consumption are deeply interconnected. Addressing them with separate solutions creates complexity and potential vulnerabilities.

Halton SafeGuard solves this by unifying five industry-leading technologies into one responsive, scalable ecosystem.

This intelligent platform automatically adapts to your kitchen’s real-time needs, delivering significant energy savings while ensuring optimal safety and staff comfort.

How does it work?

An Integrated Ecosytem

The Halton SafeGuard platform intelligently orchestrates ventilation and safety systems. It continuously monitors cooking activity, air quality, and potential fire risks. Using this data, it automatically adjusts hood airflow for maximum efficiency, provides proactive alerts for fire prevention and duct cleaning, and delivers valuable performance insights through a cloud-based portal.

1  M.A.R.V.E.L. – Airflow and Energy Optimization

M.A.R.V.E.L. is the intelligence behind the ventilation. Using advanced thermal imaging sensors, it detects precise cooking activity and adjusts exhaust airflow in real-time to match the exact demand. This not only saves energy but also ensures the kitchen is perfectly balanced, improving comfort and integrating with the building’s HVAC system.

Significant Energy Savings: M.A.R.V.E.L. demand-controlled ventilation can reduce ventilation energy usage by up to 64%, drastically cutting operational costs.

 

2 Halton AirWatch – Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Monitoring

This suite of sensors monitors key wellbeing factors, including temperature, humidity, CO₂, VOCs, and particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10). Integrated with M.A.R.V.E.L., it ensures the ventilation system automatically responds to maintain a healthy and comfortable environment for staff and customers.

Enhanced Staff Wellbeing and Productivity: AirWatch ensures optimal Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), balancing energy savings with superior thermal comfort and air quality for your team.

 

3 Halton FireWatch – Early Fire Detection at the Appliance

FireWatch detects dangerous conditions that could lead to a cooking fire before the fire suppression system is activated. It alerts staff to take corrective action, helping to avoid unnecessary, costly system discharges and potential business shutdowns.

Proactive Fire Risk Mitigation: It s a cost effective solution for an efficient fire prevention enhancement.

4 Halton Duct Safety System (KGS) – Ductwork Grease Monitoring

This system continuously monitors grease buildup in the exhaust ductwork. It alerts operators when cleaning is required based on actual grease levels, not a fixed schedule. This optimizes cleaning costs while maximizing fire safety and hygiene.

Duct Safety Control System: Monitors grease deposit levels in all ductwork, mitigating hygiene and fire safety concerns.

 

5 Halton Connect™ – IoT Platform for Smart Services

The central nervous system of SafeGuard, Halton Connect™ is a cloud-based portal that enables 24/7 remote monitoring, fault notification, and data analytics. It forms the foundation for Halton Care premium services, including predictive maintenance, to keep your kitchen performing at its best throughout its lifecycle.

Data-Driven Operations and Peace of Mind: Halton Connect™ provides 24/7 remote monitoring, predictive maintenance alerts, and powerful data analytics to optimize performance and ensure business continuity.
