Against the backdrop of labor shortages, factory automation and labor-saving measures are advancing. While these increase productivity, they also bring new risks, such as "times and places where human eyes cannot reach." In reality, a certain number of factory fires occur, and the risk of fires breaking out during unmanned hours—such as tracking phenomena caused by dust accumulated in outlets or "lingering embers" that begin to smolder inside walls hours after work has ended—can threaten a company's very survival.

In this seminar, based on this background, we will introduce the "three-layer defense," which integrates fire prevention measures that were previously implemented separately, by combining the technologies and know-how of the three companies, while incorporating specific case studies.

Ultra-early detection that catches flames "before smoke is generated," thorough preventive maintenance based on data, and the centralization of inspection records through digital means.

What are the "initial response measures" to break away from personnel-dependent management and reliably suppress and respond to fires within the scope of human control? Why not start preparing with certainty to ensure your valuable site is never brought to a halt?
