Published

on

The article outlines inspection timelines and compliance expectations for commercial sprinkler systems in Central Indiana.

PLAINFIELD, Ind., June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — How often should fire sprinkler systems be inspected in Central Indiana? A HelloNation article provides an answer, offering guidance based on national standards and local requirements.

The HelloNation article explains that fire sprinkler inspection schedules are guided by NFPA 25, the national standard governing inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems. For businesses operating commercial sprinkler systems, following NFPA 25 helps ensure safety, compliance, and system readiness. The article notes that Central Indiana fire codes closely align with these national standards, making routine inspections necessary for maintaining operational safety.

The article explains that quarterly sprinkler inspections are among the most common requirements for commercial sprinkler systems. These inspections typically include checking valves, gauges, and alarm components to confirm they are functioning correctly. The HelloNation article explains that quarterly sprinkler inspections are essential for identifying small issues before they become serious problems that could impact system performance during an emergency.

In addition to routine checks, the article highlights the importance of the annual fire sprinkler inspection. This more detailed review involves evaluating sprinkler heads, piping, and alarm connections, and testing water flow and system response. The article emphasizes that an annual fire sprinkler inspection provides a deeper understanding of system condition and helps ensure compliance with Central Indiana fire codes and NFPA 25 requirements.

The HelloNation article also outlines the need for more extensive evaluations every five years. These inspections may include internal pipe assessments and obstruction investigations that cannot be detected during standard fire sprinkler inspection visits. For commercial sprinkler systems, these long-term checks are critical for identifying hidden concerns such as corrosion or blockages that could compromise system effectiveness.

Environmental conditions in Central Indiana are another factor discussed in the article. Seasonal temperature changes, humidity, and freezing risks can affect system components, making consistent fire sprinkler inspection even more important. The article explains that properties in areas like Plainfield, Carmel, and Indianapolis benefit from staying on schedule with quarterly sprinkler inspections and annual fire sprinkler inspection practices to address these environmental challenges.

The article further explains that compliance with Central Indiana fire codes is not only about meeting legal requirements but also about reducing liability and avoiding penalties. Businesses that maintain proper fire sprinkler inspection schedules in accordance with NFPA 25 are better positioned to pass inspections and maintain insurance coverage. For operators of commercial sprinkler systems, this proactive approach supports both safety and long-term cost management.

Fire Protection Expert Jeff Long is featured in the HelloNation article, which presents these insights as part of a broader discussion on fire safety practices. Fire Protection Expert perspectives help reinforce the importance of maintaining consistent inspection routines and understanding how NFPA 25 applies to local conditions. The article makes clear that reliable fire sprinkler inspection practices are essential for protecting both property and occupants.

The HelloNation article concludes that maintaining commercial sprinkler systems requires attention to detail and adherence to established schedules. Quarterly sprinkler inspections, annual fire sprinkler inspection processes, and periodic in-depth evaluations all work together to ensure systems perform when needed. By following NFPA 25 and Central Indiana fire codes, businesses can maintain effective fire protection and reduce risk.

Werfen launches a campaign to thank healthcare professionals and laboratories as part of its 60-year celebrations

Published

on

By

Through the short film ‘Thank You,’ featuring real patients, the campaign highlights the impact of in vitro diagnostics (IVD), which plays a key role in 70% of medical decisions worldwide and is crucial to patient survival and quality of lifeThe launch coincides with the company’s 60th anniversary, consolidating a six-decade trajectory to international leadership across its five clinical areas of specialized diagnostics

BARCELONA, Spain, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) plays a crucial role in life-saving clinical decisions. To recognize and thank the healthcare professionals and laboratory teams who make this possible every day, Werfen has launched the ‘Thank You’ initiative. Launched on the occasion of its 60th anniversary, this is the company’s first corporate brand campaign centered entirely on its purpose of advancing patient care by delivering trusted and innovative specialized diagnostics.

Currently, IVD influences around 70% of clinical decisions worldwide, ranging from confirming compatibility in a kidney transplant to detecting chronic disease or monitoring patients during highly complex cardiac surgery. However, this analytical work largely takes place behind the scenes.

The central element in the campaign is a documentary short film, available at https://www.werfen.com/thankyou. With it, Werfen seeks to highlight the direct impact of having reliable and timely data, at the time of diagnosis and in the continuous management of diseases and people’s quality of life, focusing on improving patient outcomes through diagnostic precision.

The voice of patients and the true significance of diagnostics

The campaign gathers stories from real patients who have gone through complex health processes. Through their stories, patients express their gratitude to the healthcare professionals who interpreted their test results and provided the necessary clarity to determine the appropriate therapeutic path to manage their health.

Developed in collaboration with patient associations and non-profit organizations, the initiative gives visibility to the relevance of diagnostics in more than a dozen pathologies such as lupus, thalassemia, hemophilia, thrombosis episodes, rheumatoid arthritis, complex cardiac surgery, or kidney and liver transplants. All of them are severe medical conditions that represent Werfen’s five highly specialized clinical areas: Hemostasis, Acute Care Diagnostics, Transfusion, Autoimmunity, and Transplant.

In the words of Alejandro Risso, CEO of Werfen: “Sixty years ago, Werfen was born with a calling to stand alongside healthcare professionals in moments that mark a before and after in patients’ lives. Our responsibility is to provide maximum analytical precision so that professionals can make decisions with total confidence when it matters most.” To this, he adds: “Behind every diagnosis there is knowledge, experience, precision and, above all, people committed to improving and saving lives. With this campaign we want to bring these professionals to the forefront and thank them for a work that, after 60 years, continues to give meaning to ours.”

Six decades of commitment to specialized diagnostics

The campaign launch takes place during the company’s 60-year anniversary. Founded in Barcelona in 1966, Werfen has evolved to establish itself as a multinational group specialized in IVD, with presence in more than 30 countries, as well as its own R&D capacity and production centers in Europe and the United States.

Throughout this time, the company has strengthened its international presence through direct commercial expansion in key markets such as the United States and China, coupled with the progressive integration of specialized firms in its different clinical areas. This process culminated in 2024 with the strategic decision to concentrate all its resources and research on in vitro diagnostics, thereby reaffirming its commitment to continue providing greater certainty to the scientific and medical community.

Innovation has been one of Werfen’s pillars throughout its 60-year history. As a result of this commitment, in 2025 the company allocated 190 million euros to research and development to continue driving advances in the science of in vitro diagnostics.

In a field where scientific rigor, clinical relevance, and reliability are fundamental, Werfen combines innovation, experience, and talent to offer more effective diagnostics that help laboratories, hospitals, doctors, and healthcare professionals make better clinical decisions and improve people’s quality of life.

CodeWall Accelerates Expansion, Names Former Orca Security VP as CTO

Published

By

CodeWall is scaling its engineering team and autonomous attack platform with an ambition to make offensive security as fundamental as firewalls and endpoint protection.

LONDON, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CodeWall is accelerating its expansion to make autonomous offensive security a permanent enterprise capability. Following its $4 million pre-seed round, the company is scaling engineering and expanding what its autonomous attack agents can investigate, today announcing former Orca Security VP of Engineering Peter Spellward as Chief Technology Officer to lead that effort.

Spellward brings experience building security technology and the organisations behind it. At cloud security unicorn Orca Security, he served as VP of Engineering, led UK research and development and helped scale its engineering organisation. He also co-founded Innovode, whose technology was acquired by CloudLock, subsequently acquired by Cisco.

“AI is giving attackers extraordinary speed and reach. We’re building to put that advantage in the hands of enterprise security teams,” said Paul Price, founder and CEO of CodeWall. “We intend to move aggressively: hire exceptional engineers, expand what our agents can take on and bring this capability to more enterprises. Peter brings experience building the products and engineering organisations that make that expansion possible.”

Spellward leads technology strategy and engineering, with a focus on accelerating delivery, broadening platform coverage and strengthening how agents coordinate complex investigations.

“The engineering challenge is to turn sophisticated attacker behaviour into a capability enterprises can depend on continuously,” said Peter Spellward, CTO of CodeWall. “That means agents that can safely reason through unfamiliar systems, build on each other’s discoveries and produce evidence defenders can trust. We’re building the team and architecture to deliver that at scale.”

CodeWall’s agents investigate enterprise environments from an external attacker’s perspective. They share discoveries and follow weaknesses across connected systems to establish what could actually be compromised, supporting continued investigation and retesting as customer environments change.

The company is already working with large banks and fintech firms, including Axos Financial, to deliver autonomous offensive testing and verified evidence of exploitable attack paths.

“Every enterprise will have an attacker working for it. It will be as essential as a firewall or endpoint protection,” added Price. “We intend to make CodeWall the standard. That’s the scale we’re hiring for, building for and going after.”
