Hochiki Denmark launch driven by investment into fire safety research and development

At Hochiki Europe we believe it is imperative to our operation that we listen to our customers, both the end user and our integration partners, and then use that insight to continue to invest in the research and ongoing development of our products. It is this investment in R&D that enables us to continue to be the global leaders in the design and manufacturing of life safety products and systems. Over the past year we have heavily concentrated our efforts to develop the newly launched Hochiki L@titude system for the Danish market, fully DBI certified, it is the most sophisticated and powerful control and indication system on the market.

Combining the very latest hardware and software the L@titude system is simple to use and understand, as well as being incredibly flexible with the ability to be re-configured to realise many other control and indication applications, with direct integration into intelligent buildings. Available in multiple languages, the system has been designed to be simple to configure and easy to use by anyone, utilising touchscreen technology with a graphical user interface to help display vital information.

The system can be used across numerous applications, from shopping centres, historical and cultural spaces, high rise buildings of multiple occupancy, logistics centres and travel hubs, entertainment venues and office blocks. No situation requires a more urgent response than a fire event, and on a large public site, especially during busy periods, public safety is paramount.
