Smoke aspiration systems, known as VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus), are designed to detect smoke at very early stages using a network of pipes and highly sensitive detectors. These systems continuously sample the air and use advanced detection technology to identify smoke particles before they become visible.

The main purpose is to provide early warning of potential fires in environments where early detection is crucial, such as data centers or industrial facilities.

VESDA systems help reduce damage by enabling faster evacuation and fire response. They are particularly effective in environments with high-value assets or critical operations that need to be protected from fire hazards.
