Showcasing innovative solutions for fire protection, WAGNER will present early fire detection and fire prevention systems for innovative logistics projects at the BUILDINX 2024 exhibition. They will also participate in the panel discussion where Frank Siedler discusses the future of fire protection in cold storage logistics with industry experts. This BUILDINX will see Innovation Arena with start-up mastermind sessions and Founders Fight Night.
The WAGNER Group is participating in the new BUILDINX trade fair, the first B2B platform to cover the entire value chain of innovative logistics and industrial property. As a fire protection specialist, WAGNER will present its pioneering fire protection systems and solutions for the entire industry at Stand E24 in Hall 5 in Dortmund from 19 to 21 November. After all, fire protection plays a key role in the safety of modern logistics projects – from protecting property, stored goods and assets to ensuring operational capability and sustainability goals. As a component manufacturer, WAGNER is an important partner in the logistics and industrial property ecosystem.
Focus on the future of fire protection for innovative logistics properties
WAGNER’s world-leading fire protection technologies contribute to the holistic protection of logistics properties. They should be considered as early as the property’s planning phase to guarantee the highest level of safety for warehouse and logistics processes. Central aspects are the earliest possible fire detection, which WAGNER ensures with aspirating smoke detectors of the TITANUS® series, and active fire prevention with OxyReduct®, which minimizes or completely eliminates the risk of fire under defined conditions.
In particular, fire protection with the OxyReduct® oxygen reduction system offers reliable protection against fires and the resulting fire damage. This innovative technology is often used in logistics facilities to provide preventive protection for closed, automated areas. By reducing the oxygen level in the area to be protected, an atmosphere is created in which fires cannot start in the first place. The spread of fire is prevented. This also prevents the secondary damage caused by fighting a fire with water-based extinguishing agents or powders.
In this context, visitors to BUILDINX can look forward to the panel discussion ‘Hot topic for a very cold environment: innovative fire protection in an innovative cold store’. Matthew Staley (Executive Vice President of Innovation and Technology at NewCold) and Frank Siedler (Global Account Director of Fire Protection Solutions for Logistics at WAGNER) will discuss the current and future requirements for fire protection in innovative cold storage warehouses.
“BUILDINX focuses on how trends and innovations in technology, software, digitalization and sustainability support the development of modern logistics and industrial real estate. The rapid transformation process in the industry also requires new approaches and solutions for fire protection in all areas. We want to raise awareness for the early involvement of fire protection experts in the planning process and will be discussing this topic in many places at the event. With our technologies, we offer precisely those innovative approaches that go beyond the performance and possibilities of traditional systems and thus meet the requirements of modern logistics properties,” says Dagmar Wolf, Head of Corporate Communications at WAGNER.
The special concept of BUILDINX
BUILDINX is a cooperation between Messe Dortmund and the Bundesvereinigung Logistik e. V. (German Logistics Association), BVL. It brings together key players such as planners, project developers, industrial companies, and logistics service providers. The exhibition area, with seven theme clusters, is complemented by a high-level conference program, the Network Area, and the Innovation Arena. New formats such as Start-up Mastermind Sessions, Fish Bowl, or the Founders Fight Night also make the event an ideal networking platform for the industry.
WAGNER is a founding member of BUILDINX and, as a long-standing BVL member, has helped shape the platform’s development. Dagmar Wolf, spokeswoman for the BUILDINX focus group within the BVL Logistics Real Estate topic group, emphasizes that the trade fair creates the perfect conditions for expanding one’s network, gaining new impetus and exchanging ideas with partners. “In addition to the professional exchange, I am particularly looking forward to the Founders Fight Night, where two start-ups will compete in an eloquent pitch duel and have to face the critical questions of the expert jury. At the end, the audience will be asked to choose the winner,” says Dagmar Wolf.
