INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
Crushers are machines which use a metal surface to break or compress
materials. Mining operations use crushers, commonly classified by the
degree to which they fragment the starting material, with primary and
secondary crushers handling coarse materials, and tertiary and
quaternary crushers reducing ore particles to finer gradations. Crushers
are used to reduce particle size enough so that the material can be
processed into finer particles in a grinder. Fire protection is the study
and practice of mitigating the unwanted effects of potentially
destructive fires. It involves the study of the behaviour,
compartmentalisation, suppression and investigation of fire and its
related emergencies, as well as the research and development,
production, testing and application of mitigating systems. A Building
Management System (BMS) is a computer-based control system
installed in buildings, which controls and monitors the building’s
mechanical and electrical equipment such as ventilation, lighting,
power systems, fire systems, and security systems. A BMS consists of
software and hardware; the software program, usually configured in a
hierarchical manner, can be proprietary, using such protocols as C-bus,
Profibus, and so on.

Fire Fighting
Fire protection is the study and practice of mitigating the unwanted effects of potentially destructive fires. It involves
the study of the behavior, compartmentalisation, suppression and investigation of fire and its related emergencies, as
well as the research and development, production, testing and application of mitigating systems. In structures, be they
land-based, offshore or even ships, the owners and operators are responsible to maintain their facilities in accordance
with a design-basis that is rooted in laws, including the local building code and fire code, which are enforced by the
Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Three main goals of fire protection are:
Continuity of operations
Property protection
Life safety
Building Management System
A Building Management System (BMS) is a computer-based control system installed in buildings that controls and
monitors the building’s mechanical and electrical equipment such as ventilation, lighting, power systems, fire systems,
and security systems. A BMS consists of software and hardware; the software program, usually configured in a
hierarchical manner, can be proprietary, using such protocols as C-bus, Profibus, and so on.
Functions of BMS are:
Controlling
Monitoring
Optimizing
Overall growth drivers for all the three industries are:
India’s increasing population and accelerated growth in the Indian economy.
Strong emergence of high growth verticals like Malls, multiplexes, retail chains, manufacturing plants, IT, and
BPOs.
