Reinventing Fire Detection in Industrial Warehouses, Paper360º March/April 2019

Advanced technology detects smoke at the earliest possible stage, while reducing false alarms and maintenance in large industrial warehouses.

The cost of a fire in a warehouse goes far beyond the loss of the building and goods. The consequential loss caused by downtime, operation interruption, business reputation, and goodwill can be significant.

Modern goods also tend to have increased flammability, in addition to the presence of large amounts of packing materials such as plastics, cardboard, wooden crates, and pallets. There are various possible ignition sources in warehouses including smoking, lighting, electrical equipment, and heaters. Although sprinklers are typically installed in warehouses, the lack of an appropriate early warning smoke detection system can not only compromise the safety of the facility, but also that of adjacent buildings.
