    Agenda:

    We will cover the history of automation in fire sprinkler products and how it is and can be integrated into sprinkler systems to reduce the risks of human error, improve reliability, expand knowledge of systems’ status, and improve the efficiency of testing processes. Risk reduction and efficiency improvements are big components in saving money and downtime for clients.
