Gas Detectors for the Food Industry: Safety and Compliance
In food processing plants, gases are everywhere — used for chilling, packaging, fermenting, and sterilizing. But these same gases can pose hidden dangers. A minor leak from a CO₂ tank, unnoticed ammonia buildup in cold storage, or depleted oxygen in nitrogen-flushed areas can seriously affect worker...

Gas Sensors for Warehouses and Logistics Centers
One forklift malfunction in a closed storage area. One unnoticed propane (C₃H₈) or methane (CH₄) leak from equipment, or a rise in carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels in a poorly ventilated space — that’s all it takes to put workers at risk. Installing the right gas sensor is not optional — it’s a basic part of operational safety.
