40 years of ASD

40 years of pioneering fire early detection

For four decades, WAGNER has helped shape the development of innovative solutions for early fire detection using aspirating smoke detectors (ASD). What began in the mid-1980s with a clear goal - to detect fires much earlier and more reliably than ever before - marked the launch of WAGNER’s aspirating smoke detection technology. At the time, most systems relied on spot-type smoke detectors that only triggered once visible smoke had developed. Active air sampling, by contrast, made it possible to detect fires at a very early stage; often before smoke was visible. 

In 1986, WAGNER unveiled its first in-house developed aspirating smoke detector at Security in Essen, the leading international trade show for safety and fire protection technology. This was a defining moment that set the stage for continued technical innovation and steadily established WAGNER as a technology leader in fire early detection

A key milestone followed in 1995 with the first patent application for an aspirating smoke detector and the registration of the now well-established brand name TITANUS®. This laid the foundation for a product family that has evolved into one of the most powerful systems in early fire detection.

Over the decades, the original solution developed into a flexible system available in a range of models tailored to specific applications. Today, clearly defined versions are available for large and highly demanding monitoring areas, small to mid-sized spaces, server and control cabinets, mobility applications such as rail vehicles, and challenging environments, including deep-freeze areas and contaminated or dusty spaces. With this broad portfolio, WAGNER now offers an ASD solution for virtually any application scenario.
