Johnson Controls has provided a highly sophisticated fire detection system as part of a £300 million development of Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Stirlingshire, Scotland. It was vital to have an effective and robust fire detection system in place to protect patients, staff, and visitors in the event of a fire. In addition, due to the nature of the facility, the system was required to reduce disruptive and potentially dangerous false alarms. 

Forth Valley is the first hospital in the UK to use a fleet of robots to transport goods and equipment around the building. In the event of a fire these robots would be prevented from entering a danger zone from a signal sent directly from the fire detection panels.
