Sensor technology integrated into the automatic extinguishing system improves the operational safety of the systems through integrated early wear detection.

Automatic early wear detection

The smallest leaks are automatically detected and reported to the control centre. The system operator is proactively informed about the upcoming replacement of wear parts and can systematically plan the replacement. If temperatures approach the freezing point, the integrated temperature monitoring activates the heating cartridge and thus ensures the smooth operation of the system even in outdoor areas. The risk of unplanned downtimes is reduced and system availability increases.

Maintenance based on wear data

Advances in sensor technology also allow maintenance intervals to be individually determined on the basis of wear data. These dynamic maintenance intervals not only extend the maintenance intervals in the context of predictive maintenance, but also increase the service life of the spare parts monitored in this way. In this way, the two goals of ”reduction of unwanted downtimes” and ”optimal utilisation of components”, which until today have often been perceived as conflicting, can be harmonised through powerful sensor technology.

Sustainable use

In order to be able to integrate the more sustainable use of resources associated with the application of dynamic maintenance intervals into the production process even better than before, it is essential that dynamic maintenance intervals are taken into account in the corresponding regulations. This is a topic that will increasingly occupy us in the future.

Preventive solutions by Fagus-GreCon

For more than 40 years, spark extinguishing systems from Fagus-GreCon have been protecting industrial production plants from dust fires and explosions that can cause damage worth millions within a few minutes and threaten livelihoods. In order to protect themselves against this and to avoid production downtimes, production companies from various industries rely on preventive fire protection solutions from Fagus-GreCon.

Increasingly important for productivity increase

The increasing connectivity of preventive fire protection systems and production facilities in the future opens up ever new potential for increasing productivity. By integrating spark extinguishing systems into the structure of complex early warning systems, for example, indications of anomalies in the production process can be provided at an early stage. As a result, measures can be initiated in good time to help prevent production or safety-related malfunctions.
