Popis: The development of the logistics industry in Taiwan will continue to prosper nowadays and beyond. In order to save more human power while improving transportation effectiveness, the introduction of AS/RS to the storage warehouse has become a trend. It is wildly known that AS/RS warehouse has the characteristic of high risk on fire occurrence. Merely general specifications were presented in Taiwan’s code for the design of fire protection systems—the Standards for Installation of Fire Safety Systems Based on Use and Occupancy. Through literature review and fire scenario analyses in warehouse, we can realize that although the automatic sprinkler system activated confidently during a fire, the damage still happened. In this paper, sprinkler design situations of four typical AS/RS storage warehouses in Taiwan were investigated. Finally, compared to the literature review from each warehouse, the analysis of rack sprinkler configuration pros and cons were made. Meanwhile, some conclusions of sprinkler design were also provided for AHJ.
