Automation makes logistics processes faster and more efficient. But this evolution also brings new challenges, particularly in the area of fire safety. Winlock will be demonstrating at Transport & Logistics how to keep complex intralogistics both safe and efficient.
For over 25 years,Winlockhas been developing fire-resistant industrial sectional doors and technical doors for critical environments across Europe. The solutions range from fire compartmentalisation to protection against smoke, burglary, noise and explosions, always fully tailored to the project.
In modern logistics environments, conveyor systems are becoming increasingly complex. The routing of chains, roller conveyors, rails and cables often breaks through traditional fire compartmentation.
Winlock responds to this need with specific fire-resistant enclosures for every type of conveyor system. Whether it involves roller conveyors, belt conveyors or advanced sorting systems, every solution integrates seamlessly with the installation without hindering its operation.
Winlock tests all systems in accordance with EN 1366-7, assessing the entire system, including connections and penetrations. This ensures that fire safety remains intact, even in complex configurations.
As well as automation, new technologies bring with them additional risks. Take battery storage, for example, where phenomena such as thermal runaway can lead to rapid fire development and intense heat.
To this end, Winlock developed, among other things, the Opti Lock: a fire-resistant sectional door with an integrated viewing window. This solution combines fire protection with visual monitoring, which is essential in environments such as battery storage facilities, ATEX zones and cleanrooms.
With its own production, engineering and service departments, Winlock supports customers from design through to installation. The focus is on bespoke solutions and reliability, even in the most demanding environments. At Transport & Logistics in Ghent (stand 1323), you can discover how to integrate fire safety into an increasingly complex logistics landscape.

Transport & Logistics & AntwerpXL will go on simultaneously at Antwerp Expo on 14, 15 & 16 Oct 2025.
