1 . A method for configuring fire safety devices in an environment, comprising:

receiving an input comprising one or more machine-readable codes corresponding to one or more fire safety devices, wherein each of the one or more machine-readable codes includes at least one of device model information and a logical path associated with the corresponding fire safety device;

generating a floor-based plan of the environment including positional information of each of the one or more fire safety devices based on the received one or more machine-readable codes; and

configuring each of the one or more fire safety devices based on the corresponding positional information in the generated floor-based plan.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the input comprising one of:

receiving, via a scanning device, the one or more machine-readable codes; or

receiving a Computer Aided Design (CAD) file including the one or more machine-readable code.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein configuring each of the one or more fire safety devices comprises:

assigning the one or more fire safety devices to at least one operational node configured to control operation of the one or more fire safety devices.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein prior to receiving the input, the method comprising:

assigning, to each of the one or more fire safety devices, a machine-readable code to store at least one of the device model information and the logical path associated with the corresponding fire safety device: and

generating the CAD file with one or more machine-readable codes placed at a designated location of the corresponding one or more fire safety devices.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein configuring each of the one or more fire safety devices comprises:

determining a number of fire safety devices from the received input;

identifying a number of operational nodes based on the determined number of fire safety devices; and

assigning the one or more fire safety devices to the at least one operation node based on the identified number of operational nodes.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying the generated floor-based plan to a user via a user interface.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, via a user interface, one or more user inputs corresponding to the generated floor-based architecture of the environment; and

modifying the generated floor-based plan based on the received one or more user inputs.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the CAD file corresponds to a building map.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more machine-readable codes correspond to a Quick Response (QR) code.

10 . An apparatus for configuring fire safety devices in an environment, comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor communicably coupled with the memory, the at least one processor configured to:

receive an input comprising one or more machine-readable codes corresponding to one or more fire safety devices, wherein each of the one or more machine-readable codes includes at least one of device model information and a logical path associated with the corresponding fire safety device;

generate a floor-based plan of the environment including positional information of each of the one or more fire safety devices based on the received one or more machine-readable codes; and

configure each of the one or more fire safety devices based on the corresponding positional information in the generated floor-based plan.

11 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive, via a scanning device, the one or more machine-readable codes; or

receive a Computer Aided Design (CAD) file including the one or more machine-readable code.

12 . The apparatus of claim 10 , to configuring each of the one or more fire safety devices, the at least one processor is configured to:

assign the one or more fire safety devices to at least one operational node configured to control operation of the one or more fire safety devices.

13 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein prior to receiving the input, the at least one processor is configured to:

assign, to each of the one or more fire safety devices, a machine-readable code to store at least one of the device model information and the logical path associated with the corresponding fire safety device: and

generate the CAD file with one or more machine-readable codes placed at a designated location of the corresponding one or more fire safety devices.

14 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein to configure each of the one or more fire safety devices, the at least one processor is configured to:

determine a number of fire safety devices from the received input;

identify a number of operational nodes based on the determined number of fire safety devices; and

assign the one or more fire safety devices to the at least one operation node based on the identified number of operational nodes.

15 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

display the generated floor-based plan to a user via a user interface.

16 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive, via a user interface, one or more user inputs corresponding to the generated floor-based plan of the environment;

modify the generated floor-based plan based on the received one or more user inputs.

17 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more machine-readable codes correspond to a Quick Response (QR) code.
