Event details

Warehousing and logistics facilities are large, high-bay environments where smoke can dilute, stratify and drift with airflows, making early, reliable detection challenging. Add long aisles, complex racking, and 24/7 operations, and the cost of false alarms or downtime quickly escalates. This session frames the real-world risks and operational constraints that make W&L different. 

We’ll compare the leading detection technologies used in W&L - optical beam smoke detection, aspirating smoke detection (ASD), flame detection, and linear heat detection, focusing on where each excels, where it doesn’t, and how they integrate for complete coverage. Expect clear, application-led guidance rather than theory. 

Using a recent Nottingham distribution-centre case study, we’ll show how combining technologies can reduce devices at height, simplify maintenance, and improve resilience, without compromising early warning. You’ll see how the selection approach translates into practical design decisions on real sites. 

You’ll leave with actionable takeaways on how to choose and integrate the right detection mix for your site, plus pointers to supporting resources for specification and design.




All attendees will receive a CPD certificate.
