Migros Verteilbetrieb AG (MVB), based in Neuendorf, is one of Switzerland's leading logistics companies and ensures reliable supplies to Migros stores and migrolino shops. With a capacity of over 300,000 pallet spaces in modern high-bay warehouses and storage of products in six different temperature zones, from -25°C to 25°C, the company places high demands on availability, security, and operational continuity.
To reliably protect its automated deep-freeze warehouses against fires and the consequential damage caused by conventional extinguishing systems, Migros Verteilbetrieb AG relies on a holistic fire protection solution from WAGNER. The combination of active fire prevention with OxyReduct® and sensitive early fire detection with TITANUS® offers high safety in the event of a fire – without business interruptions and with optimum protection for people, technology, and stored goods.
RISK ANALYSIS
Automated deep-freeze warehouses pose particular fire risks: Packaging materials such as cardboard and plastic represent a high fire load, while numerous electrical components are susceptible to technical defects that can cause fires. The extremely dry air at -25°C can further promote the spread of fire.
PROTECTION GOALS
SOLUTION
A customized fire protection solution was developed for MVB's deep-freeze warehouse in Neuendorf, specifically tailored to the special requirements of the warehouse. TITANUS® early fire detection ensures precise and early fire detection to immediately limit the spread of fire and smoke. The OxyReduct® oxygen reduction system is used in both the main storage areas and the adjacent pre-zones to reduce the oxygen content and proactively lower the fire risk. This solution provides effective protection against fires while also preventing damage that can be caused by extinguishing systems such as conventional sprinkler systems.
