The Challenges of Matrix Industry before NFire

Matrix is spread across an area of 73,000 sq. ft., the structure houses departments like Assembly, Testing, Quality Control, Purchase, Stores, Dispatch and Accounts.The lengthy wiring was estimated to be 5 times the total cost of the system. Hence, lengthy wiring was not possible. The heavy machinery could raise primary causes of destructible fire. Also, the possible malfunction in wires, circuitry problems, fires from production materials, explosion, electrical rooms and office environment can all lead to sparkling fires. Air-conditioned offices can trap fire inside since the doors and windows are closed. Even in case of power cuts, terror attacks or any other emergencies, quick and planned evacuation is extremely important. Only early evacuation can contribute to life safety and early evacuation comes from early detection. Major design considerations for Matrix were safety, technical leverage, highly reliable system that could last longer with low maintenance and installation cost.
