Tradition and quality require care

At Switzerland’s Feldschlösschen brewery, the words ‘since 1876’ appear on every bottle. That’s not just a statement. It’s a philosophy. The same brewing methods since 1876. The same recipes. The same quality. A promise that every beer will be as good as the last. And if the brewery is protected, their product is protected – and their tradition is protected. Fire safety systems from Siemens protect Feldschlösschen’s most important ingredient: The building.

Feldschlösschen: The building is the beer

Feldschlösschen translates into "Little castle in the field". A poetic name for a special place. Feldschlösschen is not just an average production facility, but a place that breathes craftsmanship and tradition. It is also the name of the beer, printed of every single label for 140 years. Since then, every beer has been as good as the last.

Timeless traditions, smart fire protection

How do you make sure that everything stays exactly the same? By making changes where it matters. For Feldschlösschen this means to listen exactly what the 140-year-old brewery building has to say – with the help of a brand new fire detection system. Quite a challenging task – because to protect the brewery efficiently, one must know every single building of the large compound by heart.

fire detectors

Feldschlösschen has a long tradition of using advanced fire safety technology. The next step is modernizing more than 2,000 fire detectors and 17 control panels with a refined, networked system.

networked fire control panels

The goal of the modernization was to enhance safety while reducing complexity. There are now 5 networked fire control panels across the site. This allows any panel to respond to a fire, regardless of where it’s detected.

unified solution

Fire safety, like brewing, demands absolute precision. While brewers sense cinnamon, cloves, and citrus, the detection system identifies smoke, heat, gas, and even smokeless liquids.

140 years ago, Feldschlösschen was founded with one vision: to make Switzerland's finest beer. It's a heritage that grows more valuable with every year. And with every year, it becomes more important to protect it.
