Warehouses and manufacturing spaces can vary enormously in size and process, some being fully automated and some having multiple occupants at different times of the day.

Distribution warehouses can be difficult places in which to work as they may require specialist platforms for working at height and could present on-going problems for maintenance and repair.

Equipment used and access to escape routes are also major factors when planning and designing an effective fire detection system.

Alternatives to the standard point detection systems are smoke beams, and aspirating systems within storage racking, providing the solution for a sensitive yet stable fire detection solution.
