Implement a comprehensive fire safety concept for battery production to protect processes, machinery, people and buildings. A risk-based strategy and smart fire safety system enable early detection and fast response time.
Challenge
The most critical battery manufacturing steps are formation and aging, where the risk of ignition from electro-chemical reactions are high. This can lead to thermal runaway, which can stop production and cause costly downtime.
Solution
Our fire safety portfolio provides early detection — up to 5× faster — along with rapid smoldering and suppression systems to protect assets, minimize damage and maintain uptime.
Adopt a holistic safety approach for your gigafactory buildings and machinery to maximize uptime, minimize damage and protect data.
The Siemens portfolio offers a full range of fire safety solutions backed by ongoing research at the Battery Testing Centre in Switzerland, including:
IoT-enabled systems like Cerberus PRO and Sinteso integrate all elements of protection — including fire detection, alarming and evacuation — into one platform for easy monitoring with remote connectivity.
Sinorix NXN uses inert gas suppression that’s residue-free and certified for critical infrastructure safety. Its clean agents quickly extinguish fires without damaging equipment or harming the environment.
Siemens experts regularly test our products on batteries at the Battery Testing Centre in Switzerland. This research forms the foundation of our robust fire safety strategies.
