Warehouses often contain a large amount of flammable materials such as cardboard, plastics and other packaging materials. This leads to fires spreading very quickly. The layout of racking and storage can compound this problem further, due to the chimney effect they create which can draw heat and flames upwards quickly. This means that a fire in a warehouse can cause a significant amount of damage very quickly, and dictates the need for comprehensive warehouse safety systems.
High ceilings are a major challenge for fire detection systems because traditional smoke alarms are placed so high up that they do not detect smoke until it has risen to a considerable height. The use of specific high-ceiling fire detection is extremely important in warehouses.The height of stacked goods can be detrimental to the effectiveness of sprinkler systems too, as they may block water from reaching and extinguishing an established fire below.
With many goods coming into and going out of a warehouse. It is very difficult to maintain a consistent fire risk assessment that is up to date and correct. Without end-to-end retail supply chain monitoring, this requires a lot of manual input and checks which can take a long time and lead to delays.
Downtime due to false alarms in logistics can cause a number of large issues that companies would prefer to avoid. These include immediate financial losses due to shutdowns, idle labour costs and potential fines from emergency services due to repeated false alarms. A single false alarm from a distribution depot fire alarm system can cost more than £2,000 in lost production and disruption.
As well as financial losses, false alarms can lead to delayed shipments, supply chain disruption, damage to customer relationships, and alarm fatigue of staff which can lead to them treating alarms as an inconvenience rather than a genuine threat.
Conventional fire alarm systems trigger alerts, but often show barely any insight into the original cause of the issue. This means that facilities managers remain reactive and have to wait for an issue to occur, instead of preventing them.
With manual logbooks and fragmented reporting, compliance tasks become very time consuming for staff and in turn, leaves room for human error.
Routine maintenance often becomes reactive instead of proactive. Minor faults can become major issues, driving costs higher and damaging resident trust.

Fire alarm system asset management is an ongoing process that needs to be maintained at all times. If it is ignored or neglected it can lead to major fire risks and non-compliance with British regulations.
By coupling RAG-rated asset tracking and preventative remedial planning, you can ensure that your fire alarm system asset management is effective and consistent. You can do this by assigning a status to each of your fire safety assets. Either red (immediate and urgent intervention needed), amber (corrective action required) or green (low risk of failure, no action required). This will then inform you of which assets require the most urgent attention to reduce risk.
By doing this across all fire safety assets within your portfolio, you can keep fire risk to a minimum.
To use RAG-rated asset planning and preventative remedial planning effectively, you need to be able to assign a status to every fire safety asset across your portfolio. This can be easier said than done. Especially if you have numerous fire safety assets from different manufacturers across multiple sites and properties.
While our fire safety competitors offer modular and manual solutions, we remove the issue of having multiple fire safety assets from different manufacturers by interlinking them all and connecting them to one intelligent automated platform.
With our software you can see all of your fire safety assets and their statuses in one place. Anytime anywhere.
