Danger alarm systems designed for
economic efficiency
Every company is following the trend of
achieving greater economic efficiency.
Concentration on clear objectives, streamlined
organization and core competence areas are
the tools that allow these requirements to be
met. In addition to the processes associated
with core competence areas, there are a
number of other framework processes that are
required for maintaining the functionality of
every organization. One such process is the
security process.
The security process comprises a number of
sub-processes, which are subdivided to a
greater or lesser extent, depending on the
specification of the key tasks. Process control,
which is adapted to every situation, makes a
very significant contribution to economically
efficient process planning. This contribution is
even greater if you consider the fact that
standard process controls can be designed for
all aspects of security. Uniform structures
prevent spurious responses in a danger
situation and simplify daily work with and for
the master processes.
Multifunctional

A danger alarm system is multifunctional if it
signals dangers specified by DIN VDE

(danger of fire and intrusion/hold-up) in con-
junction with general dangers in the factory
(technical dangers) and averts damage by
implementing previously conceived measures
for handling these dangers. It is important that
the alarm and control effect does not only run
in one direction from bottom to top but also
horizontally from subsystem to subsystem in
different hierarchical directions. The contribution
to economic efficiency is also mainly achieved
by the combination of different functions in a
single and high-capacity system. The imple-
mentation of these functions traditionally
required at least four different systems.
