Milan-based Eurovetrocap manufactures glass and plastic containers for cosmetics, pharmaceutical and food industries. With a large amout of on-site machinery, they turnt to Hochiki's FIREscape emergency lighting system to keep staff and premises protected.
For large packaging manufacturing plants like the Eurovetrocap site, it is crucial that practical and robust life-safety solutions are installed, as warehouses like these are fast-paced and busy environments with hundreds of workers and lots of complex machinery on-site – increasing the risks in case of an emergency. As a result, the installation of ultra-reliable life-safety systems that can guide people out of often maze-like and crowded spaces is essential for protecting staff and visitors.
The FIREscape series is also a much greener solution, making it perfect for businesses like Eurovetrocap that are committed to improving sustainability. In fact, a standard FIREscape luminaire consumes less than 0.5W when charging, dropping to 0.1W when fully charged, lowering the overall energy consumption of the system and reducing CO2 emissions. In comparison to similar mains-driven fluorescent lighting units, which typically consume 12W, the energy savings made from choosing the FIREscape luminaire are significant. Over a period of ten years, for example, FIREscape can reduce running costs by up to 89% when compared to traditional lighting, and typically offers a return on investment by year three after installation.
