Workshop Outline:
This workshop will focus on FM Global Property Loss Prevention Data Sheet 8-34, Protection for Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems, which was updated in October 2020. The specific focus will be the section on Top-Loading Automatic
Storage and Retrieval Systems (TL-ASRS) which are becoming increasingly common and has revolutionized picking, packing
and shipping warehouse operations. TL-ASRS are very complicated with the use of robots and extensive stacks of bins
and pose a lot of fire protection challenge. An overview of the functionality and the fire hazards and recommended automatic
fire protection will be provided as well as the importance of adequate pre-incident planning with the fire department.
Workshop Objectives:
- Explain what a TL-ASRS and the fire hazards.
- Provide an overview the recent fire testing done by the FM Global Research and show videos
- Explain the recommended automatic fire protection for TL-ASRS
- Explain pre-incident planning and critical elements to include to in a pre-incident plan involving a fire in the TL-ASRS grid.
Who Will Benefit?
This workshop will benefit engineers, designers, consultants, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (building and fire departments).
