IT Networking Products Manufacturing & Trading in India
Hope on the Horizon
The debate of manufacturing versus trading is one for the ages. Encouraging the former, especially in the IT networking products industry is a definitive step forward for the Make in India movement.
EXPERT TALK August 2022 - www.visionmediahitech.com12
In order to encourage local manufacturing of PCs, the Indian Government reduced detail parts import duty below 40%, making it attractive to manufacturer
Nobody needs an explanation as to why IT networking products have become an essential feature in today's fast paced business landscape. With the advent of the internet and management information systems (think computers, phones and software), businesses have been able to transform from small local outfits to international household names. In order to keep up with competition as a result of internet commercialisation, companies are increasingly turning to information technology, or hardware, software and telecommunications networks, to streamline services and boost performance. In a developing country like India, it's ever so more the Evencase. so, consider this. The IT revolution in India was signalled by the arrival of computer networking and the impact it made on many aspects of our lives. It was part of something bigger – electronic and digital revolution that brought us computers and a plethora of communication facilities.
Recalls K.R. Naik, Executive Chairman, SMARTLINK HOLDINGS, and Chairman & Founder, DIGISOL SYSTEMS, an IT industry veteran, two decades back he was recognized as the Father of India's information technology networking industry: “Back in the 1970s, mainframe computers in market were developed by IBM-USA, ICL-UK, and maybe one or two European companies. India was nowhere. Personal computers (PCs) started appearing in the 1980s, when custom duties on import was as high as 100%.”
motherboards and add on cards at the Mumbai factory The duty difference in detail parts imports and finished products import was as high as 60% initially Hence, at that time, many companies sprung up all over India, manufacturing PCs. When networking products started appearing in India, I convinced D-Link Taiwan, a multinational company, to start manufacturing in India by taking advantage of the duty difference. In 1993, I shifted the factory to Goa as we needed a large area to use SMT lines. I formed a new company, SMARTLINK, and offered as much as 51% stake to D Link Taiwan. In 1995, the name changed to D-Link India from SMARTLINK. Unfortunately, the Taiwanese Chairman Ken Kao felt sick and moved to the US The new management was more sceptical, and invested only 19%. After two years, they raised it to 40%. It was only when they realised the latent potential that they raised the stake to 51%.
EXPERT TALK August 2022 - www.safesecuremagazine.com 13
D-Link products were all active networking products. However, as I had lots of experience in the passive range of products, I wanted to introduce SCS products. But Ken Kao was not comfortable using the D-Link brand for this, and asked me to use my own brand. Thus the Digilink brand was conceived. In 2005, D-Link Taiwan chose to become a brand products sales & marketing company All R&D and manufacturing operations ceased, and a new company called Alpha Network Ltd was formed. Since import of detail parts from D-Link Taiwan was also stopped, we in India started sourcing detail parts from China and Taiwan suppliers. This ensured a huge advantage in price. Meanwhile, our passive products continued to be 100% manufactured here under the Digilink brand. Because we had a large manufacturing base, we started manufacturing other products as well. We entered into a JV with Gigabyte and began manufacturing motherboards. The business of D-Link and Digilink became 50:50. As the D-Link Taiwan parent company became a brand products trading company worldwide, both Ken Kao and I felt it was better to split the business for future growth, with one company in manufacturing with me holding the majority stake with the Digilink brand; and one product trading company - the D Link brand with D Link Taiwan holdingthe majority. So in 2008, D-Link India de-merged by changing its name back to SMARTLINK and continued manufacturing Digilink SCS products and all other to assemble in India. Many companies entered the fray, but duty difference in finished products and detail parts reduced every year. By 2003, due to the WTO agreement, all finished products in the IT sector became Duty Free This resulted in almost all manufacturing companies closing down. “Despite suffering losses, my company SMARTLINK somehow managed to weather the storm,” says Naik. “No matter what, we cannot compete with cheap imports from China. But now that the Government is beginning to take a great deal of interest in making India aatmanirbhar (self reliant), by encouraging manufacturing in the country and by implementing duties on finished products from overseas, we can hope for better days. It's a step forward for the Make in India movement. Such a Long Journey K.R. Naik, Executive Chairman, SMARTLINK HOLDINGS Ltd., and Chairman & Founder, DIGISOL SYSTEMS, traces the story of IT networking products in the country as well as his own story For 50 years you played a key role in creating the IT networking market and the surrounding channel ecosystem in India. Could you trace your personal journey in the IT industry?
50 years ago, we used to have large sized mainframe computers, the most well-known of which was IBM. Back then, the IBM India plant used to manufacture card-punching machines, namely the IBM 029 and IBM 129 models, at its Andheri plant in Mumbai. You might be surprised to know that back then we used to export these 'Made in India' machines to Europe, Japan and 10-15 other countries worldwide. We had over 400 vendors supplying parts from all over India I joined the IBM manufacturing plant in 1969. Initially, IBM used to re condition large mainframe computers. Then around 1973, we started manufacturing IBM Machines by sourcing detail parts from all over India as well as complicated importing from IBM vendors outside India. But due to government policy, IBM closed its operations in 1978. Then in 1986, I started my own venture called Virtual Computers Pvt. Ltd., manufacturing personal computers (PCs) by sourcing detail parts from Singapore I used to assemble

products using SMT lines. All the stock of D-Link brand products were transferred to a newly formed products trading company, D-Link India. Business continued in SMARTLINK via manufacturing of Digilink passive brand products. Having 6 SMT lines in active products, SMARTLINK introduced the DIGISOL brand in 2009. Having a large manufacturing base, SMARTLINK also introduced tablets and motherboards. The SCS business became No 1 in channel sales in India as it had a large manufacturing base besides having its own patents. In 2011, Schneider Electric, a renowned French company in SCS products acquired the Digilink brand with all manufacturing, sales & marketing operations. We continued manufacturing all kinds of active products in the DIGISOL brand along with other products. As we parted off the Digilink brand's SCS business to Schneider, D-Link India Trading Company entered the SCS market by importing finished products from China. In five years, the Digilink brand lost its channel business to D-Link. So we decided to enter the fray after a five-year hiatus. Instead of getting China products and trading, we chose to manufacture the latest patented products by forming a joint venture with a company having the latest patents. Then in the fourth quarter of 2016, we reentered the SCS products space again by manufacturing higher grade patented products. A new manufacturing company was formed by taking a foreign partner having a lot of latest patents in SCS products. To simplify operations, SMARTLINK became a Holding company with assets and cash. The business split in three independent units offering scope to expand – Digisol SYSTEMS (a brand products company); Telesmart SCS (for SCS products in copper and fiber having a foreign company as partner); and Synegra EMS (for all kinds of active products manufacturing, and with large space for SMT lines, soldering lines, and assembly lines). DIGISOL, our brand products company, sources products from Synegra and Telesmart, as well as worldwide suppliers. Tell us about your passion for passive product manufacturing After the JV with D Link Taiwan, we started manufacturing active products in India. But I was also in passive products, having a JV with Sapphire, the UK based company. After introducing active products, I introduced passive products by manufacturing under the D-Link brand, as had prior experience. Ken Kao was not happy to use the D-Link brand for passive products. As such, D-Link Taiwan is a multinational with more than 14 offices and with worldwide sales in more than 50 countries in only active products even today. Therefore, I introduced Digilink, my brand of SCS products. Until the Government of India announced the second edition of production-linked incentives (PLI) schemes across 10 key sectors, Indian manufacturers were losing out to traders who were simply importing finished products or SKD from countries like China. Your comments… We all know that Indian manufacturing is nothing but importing majority of detail parts from up countries, manufacturing some parts locally, assembling & testing of products, and offering after sales support to customers. The costs for test equipment in case of some products like fiber runs into crores of rupees It doesn't benefit manufacturers like us at all. On some products like switches, the basic custom duty being 10% is net saving. You're better off importing as the manufacturing cost is quite low. Once said that, the Government's PLI scheme is fairly encouraging But once manufacturing of large volumes starts, and volume of consumption of detail parts increases, manufacturing of detail parts will happen in India automatically, as large volume of local requirement helps detail parts manufacturing. We too will start manufacturing some detail parts instead of importing Why did a reputed multinational company like Schneider Electric, which acquired a successful brand like Digilink fail to impact the market? What caused the fall of such a big multinational? After Schneider Electric acquired the Digilink brand in SCS products, manufacturing in India almost all products from components level, D-Link India's new management decided to enter the passive products line in India by importing from China (China produces outdated patents. It's worth noting that once a patent is 20 years old, anyone can manufacture it, even in India). Schneider, having acquired our patents, continued to manufacture here. Schneider could not compete with D-Link's pricing, and exited from the network connectivity structured cabling business (Digilink) in India.

Can you shed some light on DITT? Empowerment of the next generation must be something you feel deeply about… In a bid to empower our partners and system integrators across India, we launched a certification and training institution, DITT - DIGISOL Institute of Technical Training. The institution aims to create value for all our network engineers, channel partners, and ISPs by consistently delivering quality training programmes which are always in sync with the market demands. DITT comprises of 8+ online training programmes that cover industry-trending topics like FTTH, structured cabling solutions for tomorrow,
switching and wireless solutions, etc. It comprises both free and paid training
The demand for FTTH products has grown enormously in recent years considering the increasing demand for high speed internet. Our endeavour is to offer the bestin class wireless products that offer high performance, connectivity, and are manufactured in India We introduced our bestselling FTTH products DG GR1321 & DG GR6010 XPON ONU routers as 'Manufactured in India' by assembling detail parts DG GR1321 is designed to fulfil FTTH and triple play service demands of network operators, while the DG GR6010 ONU modem is designed to fulfil FTTH ultra-broadband access request of home and SOHO users. We are also launching our bestselling switches that are made in India We have introduced many Made in India products previously under the passive networking range of products, and with the launch of these GEPON products, we aim to strengthen our foothold and increase our market share. Is that why you decided to reenter the market after five years? Since I possessed expertise in manufacturing, I decided to reenter the passive products line by manufacturing. As I had offered my products patent to Schneider Electric while parting with the Digilink business, I decided to take a Taiwan ODM supplier as our partner, having many patents of SCS products in Taiwan. We established a new company, Telesmart SCS Ltd., and invested in tooling, moulds, test equipment, etc., and started manufacturing in Goa. To what extent (if any) has the PLI scheme helped Indian manufacturers such as yourself negate the impact of importers. The PLI scheme will help all manufacturers. Today, we are getting more enquiries to manufacture products and so we are expanding and getting the latest SMT lines to take care of detail parts of very small size. This is the best support we have received from the Government. Let's wait for a year or two years to see the results. The Government's failure to impose heavier import duty must have been a mitigating factor in the industry's predicament… After the WTO agreement on IT products, importing became duty free, and it became difficult for the Government to impose duty I feel at least the recentproducts such as FTTH routers and WiFi mobile phones should have attracted duty in order to encourage manufacturing in India. I must admit here that I have not gone through the details of the agreement.
The objective of these training programs is to enhance the knowledge of our T2 partners on the latest technological trends and to introduce them to a wide range of products that DIGISOL offers. DIGISOL has been on the forefront of empowering partners, system integrators, and ISPs/MSOs across India by conducting various training programmes under DITT. Even during the time of unprecedented uncertainty, the company took the responsibility to empower all the partners by conducting online training programmes. Tell us about your recent product developments and offerings in manufacturing for your brand company DIGISOL?

Recently, SMARTLINK has become a Holdings company with assets and cash, by splitting all operations into three independent units and giving scope of expansion individually The three companies SYNEGRA EMS, TELESMART SCS and DIGISOL SYSTEMS are independent of each other. SYNEGRA EMS LTD. SYNEGRA is a 100% owned EMS products manufacturing company of SMARTLINK HOLDINGS LIMITED It has a large manufacturing setup of SMT lines, soldering lines, assembly & testing lines. In 1993 for expansion he shifted to Goa, to setup a large manufacturing unit under SMARTLINK with intention of Joint Venture with D-Link Taiwan. Then in 1995 D-Link Corporation joined as partner and the company name was changed to D-Link India. Over the years, the manufacturing operations expanded to 8 SMT lines catering to various products. Further, he started manufacturing SCS products locally with Sapphire UK, who were ODM suppliers to many worldwide branded companies. He introduced DIGILINK an indigenous local brand in Passive Networking (Structured Cabling Systems) with own developed patented contacts design of AsKEYSTONE.D-LinkTaiwan in 2005 had become a Brand Products Trading Company and started sourcing products from ODM suppliers, D Link India also started sourcing products of parts directly from many ODM suppliers in Taiwan & China. As Indian operations had become more independent, it was decided to part the joint venture and a formal demerger with the JV partner resulted in changing the company name back to SMARTLINK from D Link India, while sharpening its focus on its Indian brand DIGILINK SCS Products by manufacturing in Copper and Fiber. Having a large manufacturing base, the company also started manufacturing large quantity motherboards and introduced its Indian brand DIGISOL in Active Networking products line in 2009. Today under SMARTLINK HOLDINGS which is main BSE/NSE listed company, there are three brand 1.companies:SYNEGRA EMS Company, where all Active Products are manufactured to supply EMS and ODM products to brand companies.

This spike in numbers encouraged the Reserve Bank of India to mandate all banks to enhance their e surveillance at their ATMs, e-Zones and inside the branch premises. RBI's directions included installation of digital locks, new cassette swapping system, ATM operating system upgrade (software used for ATM functioning) and stepping up of electronic surveillance at the ATMs. This apart, recently The Centre for Internet and Society has recommended some amendments to the e surveillance policy of India, focusing on banking, running businesses and privacy laws.
Thus, as an effort towards strengthening e surveillance systems and ensuring a better secured country, upscaling themselves with state of-the-art surveillance technology, Vighnaharta Technologies Pvt. Ltd. has introduced a range of sensors and detectors. These include Intelligent GSM Speaker Phone (iGSP); Glass Break Sensors; SAP 500 Panel; 4G LTE / WCDMA Dual Module, Active / Active SIM Cellular & WiFi Router, GSF 9364 and Intrusion Sensors (Wireless remote (key fob), Wired door sensor, Wired shutter sensor, Wired glass break sensor, Intelligent Vibration Sensor – iVS, Sounder and flasher siren S02, Siren S01, Emergency panic switch). The products can be installed at various locations such as ATMs/banks, control rooms, warehouse, security gates, transport infrastructures, retail shops, jewellery shops, glass windows and doors, automobile industry among many others. Explaining about the products, Patankar says, “E-surveillance systems have the basic character of remote monitoring. When any untoward incident happens at a location, where such e-surveillance systems/equipment are installed, just pressing the panic switch immediately sends an alert notification to remote locations such as your mobile phones or respective command centres within fraction of seconds. One can then, accordingly, take necessary actions In some cases, one does not even have to manually press the alarm buttons and the alert notifications is sent simply based on malicious activities such as breaking open an ATM machine. While we great efforts to manufacture and build a robust security system for the banking sector, the local GSM operators play a pivotal role in the execution ofit.” Ramrao PatankarBU Head, OEM & Intrusion Vighnaharta Technologies Pvt.

But do you know which the first company was to provide the Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) system to banks and bank related other unitssuchasATMsande bankingcentres?
“We take pride in stating that Vighnaharta Technologies Pvt. Ltd., formerly known as Reality Automation Security and Surveillance, was the first company in India to introduce and help installation of security equipment and system in the banking sector. R&D is the backbone of our entire product cycle through which we have manufactured over 50,000 intrusion panels,” shares Ramrao Patankar, Business Unit Head (IDS and DGM). The hike in number of thefts at such financial institutions and spaces, coupled with numerous murders of security guards of banks & ATMs; also, the increased incidents of the security guards looting citizens at ATMs grew the demand for digital monitoring systems such as burglar alarms, CCTVs and remote monitoring.
The digitalisation boom has brought along great ease –from office work, digital payments, CCTVs, smart homes to entertainment and shopping, everything can be done online. However, with convenience, it has also led to numerous cybercrimes across the globe.

The right users need to have access to the right applications and data for organizations to function. It's necessary to make clear access permission polices for all users. You need first to define possible users who may access your network and security devices, and then set permission levels for each user to limit unnecessary access privileges and reduce the risk of cyber breaches.
Several landmark ransomware attacks on enterprises in energy and food industries last year remind us that we are living in a world with constant cyber threats. Every industry has now been prompted to reinforce their network security and strengthen their online protections. The security industry is no exception, as cybersecurity is also an on-going challenge for us, too. Here, we would like to offer some basic tips and practices to harden your network and keep your security devices protected. Create strong passwords and change them
Update your firmware in a timely manner
regularly You have heard it all before - almost every cybersecurity guidebook tells you that you need to create strong passwords. It is indeed a common instruction, but one of the most efficient methods to improve the protection of your network and devices. Passwords are just like lock on your front door, and if they are not strong enough, unwelcome visitors can easily crack them and "walk right in" to your network.
Creating strong passwords is a very important first step in the process of hardening the security of your network and devices. For setting strong passwords, the following list provides some good principles to follow:
Five Tips for Hardening your Security Devices and Networks
Define clear access permission policies for all users
• Change your passwords on a regular schedule. Set only the firewall rules you actually need A firewall intercepts all communications between you and the Internet, and decides if the information is allowed to pass through to your devices. Most firewalls, by default, will block all traffic both in and out. This is what we call "Deny all by default." In this default state, it is as if your devices are not even connected to the Internet. While this is a very safe state to be in, it is not very useful. So, we must create a set of rules to tell the firewall what we consider safe. Everything else is, by default, considered not safe. As you create rules to allow traffic in and out, you are creating tiny holes in your firewall for the traffic to flow through. The more rules you create in your firewall, the less secure your network becomes. You should only create minimum rules that you need, which can reduce risks of cyber threats through the firewall system.
• Passwords should be more than eight characters long.
It is a software program or set of instructions programmed right onto your network devices. It provides the necessary instructions for how your devices communicate with other computer hardware.
• Include numbers, symbols, uppercase letters, and lowercase letters.
Another key way to safeguard your network and data includes using encryptions This is the process of encoding your data in a way that can only be accessed through a corresponding decryption process. Data encryption is encouraged, as it keeps your data privacy safe from unauthorized hands especially in the event of a data breach Normally, it is not necessary to encrypt all of your data; you could make an encryption strategy to classify and assess risks of your data Be sure to choose the right encryption tools for sensitive, non public, and confidential data.
Firmware is the component that enables and controls the functionality of your network devices.
August 2022 - www.visionmediahitech.com30
Firmware updates are not just for bringing additional new features, but also often provide important security patches. It is recommended that you always use the latest firmware so that you get the best possible security updates and most recent bug fixes.
Encrypt your data
• Avoid any password based on repetition, dictionary words, letter or number sequences, usernames, relatives or pet names, or biographical information (birthdays, anniversary, etc.).

Bollards are vertical post installed for controlling or directing vehicles in areas including traffic gates, playgrounds, roadways, malls, parks, landscapes, pathways, and toll booths among many others. They are perfect security solution for securing wide perimeter entrances.
Bollards can be rated and certified for their distinctive features and functionality with the advantages to remain operational after an impact. by Arindam Bhadra
August 2022 - www.visionmediahitech.com32
In 2007, the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) first published the F2656 Vehicle Impact Test Method for Perimeter Barriers. ASTM F2656 means the American standard for determining the level of perimeter protection using safety barriers: road barriers and bollards The American Barrier Test Methodology was first published in 1985 by the US Diplomatic Security Administration to assess the strength of perimeter barriers and gates when hit by vehicles. Since then, the number and scale of attacks with vehicles with or without explosives has increased worldwide. Therefore, it is necessary to consider a wide range of possible threats, for example attack on an object with a vehicle, attack by various vehicles at high speed, as well as possible defenses to prevent intrusion to the territory of the object. In addition, there are different criteria for evaluating access control for institutions, as well as requirements for the aesthetic appeal of access and security
The bollards are available in diverse variety of operating configurations and aesthetic outlooks to best-fit the need of the customers. They can be deployed as fixed, removable or retractable forms.
ASTM STANDARD FOR BOLLARD
Uponmeasures.completion of the test, deformation of the safety barrier, vehicle penetration range, and damage to both the test item and the test vehicle are documented based on measurement results, instrument readings and photographs. Based on this data, the security barrier is assigned a corresponding protection class.
Key indicators such as the type of car (its mass) and speed are encrypted into a code. In addition to this, an important indicator in the rating is the penetration range of large particles. The penetration range is encrypted in the symbols P1, P2, P3 and P4. Each of the codes corresponds to a certain distance of penetration of large particles (over 25 kg) outside the blocking Adevice.nother

Medical Training Technologies can help elevate the training experiences of medical students, creating more professional and well-prepared doctors. Medical applications allow students to gain experiences that they would not have been able to get in the past. It can introduce these students to some of the conditions experienced by their patients in a detailed way, creating more empathetic and better equipped doctors for the future.
Wellness Wearables The Internet of Things (IoT) has also made massive in-roads in the healthcare industry. More so, it is becoming a cornerstone of advanced healthcare. IoT makes information sharing between different stakeholders much easier; it also creates wearable and implantable, and digestible “care” gadgets, allowing doctors to monitor and examine patients in a completely new way. These wearable and digestible portable devices can easily take all the necessary samples without the patient having to leave the house. These gadgets can make healthcare more quick, accurate and effective and reduce all parties' costs. The results can be sent over to the doctor's office in seconds.
Importance
Through vision technologies and developments in artificial intelligence, automated diagnostics have become the crowning jewel of the modern-based healthcare industry. Predictive AI tech can deliver a much more effective and mistake-proof diagnosis of any ailment compared to humans. There is less chance of misdiagnosis, and through vision technologies, the process of gathering data about the patient can become less invasive and relatively Sincepain-free.tech is free from the human drawbacks of stress, tiredness, bias or other environmental factors that often affect people, it can be more reliable when diagnosing a patient. This could make quality healthcare more widely available and bring premium healthcare to places that need it the most.
Technology has made healthcare more effective than ever and its influence will only become more prominent in the years to come. Tech innovations in medicine will lead to more healthcare solutions, including preventive measures, diagnostics, and treatments. Multiple promising and effective tech-based tools will transform the health industry as we know it today. In this article, we explore the healthcare innovations the world is likely to experience as well as their cybersecurity implications.

Here's What you can do to avoid the privacy concerns associated with tech-based healthcare:
many concerns among the skeptics, and rightfully so, regarding the digitization of healthcare. Besides the obvious risks of leaving the machines unattended by humans and the risk of malfunction, people are also worried about the privacy issues that come with such complex interconnected Thesesystems.systems and devices become a part of our everyday lives and even attire, such as wearable gadgets that transmit your data to the doctor in real-time. There is a real risk of someone with ill intent hijacking these devices and endangering the patient in multiple ways.
While the thought of someone hacking into the device that is keeping your heart beating, for example, is terrifying, it's up to us to make sure we do everything to stay protected and reap the benefits of modern healthcare in a safe, secure way. If you want to get the benefits and the convenience of modern, tech-based healthcare, you must also be familiar with the new set of challenges that come with it. Just like in healthcare, when it comes to tech-related risks, prevention is the best medicine.
Conclusion: Technological innovations can make great healthcare more accessible, affordable, and substantially more accurate. It should not surprise us that such huge developments also require us to reassess some of our habits and adjust to novel risks.
2. Use a Strong Password: If you are going to introduce medical devices into your IoT at home, make sure to set up secure passwords. While most of us are only concerned with passwords on our social media accounts, the passwords for our routers and other devices connected to them are equally important and should be treated as such. Use complicated passwords to avoid privacy breaches and keep your data safe from snoopers. The importance of strong passwords is magnified when the intruder can potentially get access to our medical devices and tamper with them, possibly endangering our lives. While keeping track of all the complicated passwords is a tedious job, it's the kind that can protect you from hackers and potential threats to your health and well-being in this case.
1. Use a VPN: Using a VPN when browsing online is a good practice to integrate into your daily life, even when not dealing with such sensitive data. But it becomes especially important when dealing with digitized healthcare. An unauthorized person getting access to your medical data or, even worse, a device that is supposed to be supporting your well-being or orchestrating an examination, becomes difficult with VPN protection. In worst cases, if your network isn't safe, the attack on the network could threaten your life. Using a VPN, a technology that encrypts your connection and hides your identity, is the best way to avoid letting someone get access to your medical records and then using them against you in some way Since your IP address will be hidden, the attacker won't identify you and therefore won't be able to use the data for their personal gain and to your detriment.

Types & Methods of
Types of Fire Hose
There are two main types of fire hose: Class A: This type of fire hose is used to extinguish fires in ordinary combustibles, such as wood, paper, or cloth. It is made of a synthetic rubber inner layer and a natural rubber or PVC outer layer Class B: This type of fire hose is used to extinguish fires in flammable liquids, such as gasoline or oil. It is made of a synthetic rubber inner layer and a nitrile rubber or PVC outer layer.

What is Fire Hose? Rolling Fire
Advantages and Disadvantages of Fire Hose Advantages of Fire Hose
A fire hose is a high-pressure hose that carries water or another fire retardant (such as foam) to a fire to extinguish it. Outdoors, it is attached to a fire engine or water pump and indoors, it can be permanently connected to a building's standpipe or plumbing system. The usual working pressure of a fire hose can vary between 8 and 20 bar (800 and 2,000 kPa; 116 and 290 psi) while its bursting pressure is up to 72 bar (7,200 kPa; 1,036 psi). A fire hose is made of one or more layers of woven fabric impregnated with rubber or PVC. The outer layer is designed to resist abrasion and withstand exposure to UV light. The inner layer is a liner that is compatible with the contents being conveyed (water, foam, fire extinguishing agent). Fire hoses are manufactured in different diameters. The most common sizes are 25mm (1"), 38mm (1.5"), 50mm (2"), 65mm (2.5"), 80mm (3"), and 100mm (4"). The length of the hose also varies but is usually between 30m and 50m. How Does Fire Hose Work? The working principle of a fire hose is very simple. It uses the power of water to extinguish the fire. The water is forced into the hose by a pump and is discharged through the nozzle at high pressure. The force of the water jet breaks up the structure of the fire and puts it out. In order for a fire hose to work effectively, it must be properly connected to the water supply The hose is usually connected to a fire hydrant or water pump. The hydrant is used to supply water to the hose and the pump increases the pressure of the water so that it can reach the nozzle. Once the hose is connected to the water supply, the nozzle is opened and the water is discharged at high pressure. The force of the water jet breaks up the structure of the fire and puts it out.
What is Fire Hose?
There are many advantages to using a fire hose. Firstly, it is a very effective way to extinguish a fire. The high pressure water jet breaks up the structure of the fire and puts it out quickly Secondly, it is very versatile and can be used in a variety of situations It can be used to extinguish fires of different types, such as liquid or electrical fires Thirdly, it is very easy to use. All you need to do is connect the hose to the water supply and open the nozzle. fourthly, it is very portable and can be easily carried to the site of the fire. Disadvantages of Fire Hose
There are some disadvantages to using a fire hose as well. One of the main disadvantages is that it requires a lot of water to extinguish the fire. This can be a problem if there is a limited water supply. Another disadvantage is that it is not very effective in high winds. The highpressure water jet can be blown away from the fire by the wind, making it less effective.
Class A fire hoses are more common because they can be used for a variety of fires. Class B fire hoses are less common because they can only be used for fires in flammable liquids.
The type of nozzle used depends on the type of fire being extinguished. For example, a straight stream nozzle would be used for a deep seated fire, while a fog nozzle would be used for a surface fire.
There are two main types of fire hose rolls: Attack Roll: This type of roll is used to carry the fire hose to the site of the fire. It is usually made of canvas or nylon and has a handle for carrying.
The spiral is used for smaller diameter hoses and is the most difficult to learn. It is the slowest roll of all the Nmethodsomatter which method you choose, it is important to practice so that you can roll the hose quickly and efficiently
The suction hose is used to draw water from a fire hydrant or water pump. It is usually made of PVC and is attached to the pump by a coupling A delivery hose is used to carry water from the fire hydrant or water pump to the nozzle. It is usually made of rubber and is attached to the nozzle by a coupling.
One of the most basic methods of rolling a fire hose is the straight roll. This method is typically used when the hose is loaded on the back of a fire truck, or when it is placed in storage at the firehouse. To roll a hose using this method, lay the hose flat on a clean surface. Then, begin to roll the end of the hose that connects to the water source, also known as the male coupling, toward the other end. Make sure the coil is open enough to insert your fingers in the middle. As the roll increases in size, keep its edge aligned on the remaining hose This will help keep the roll uniform, according to the state of Illinois' firefighter protocol.
Rolling for Direct Use
What are Suction Hose, and Delivery Hose?
Storage Roll: This type of roll is used to store the fire hose when it is not in use. It is usually made of PVC or nylon and has a strap for carrying. Fire hose rolls are important because they allow the fire hose to be easily transported to the site of the fire. They also protect the fire hose from damage when it is not in use. When choosing a fire hose, it is important to consider the type of fire that you will be using it for There are different types of fire hoses for different types of fires The most common type of fire hose is the attack roll It is important to choose a fire hose that is made of materials that will not be damaged by the type of fire you are using it for
All firefighters must participate in extensive training before they are put on duty fighting fires. A portion of that training involves learning how to roll a fire hose. There are several methods of rolling a hose that can be employed, depending on the situation.
The donut roll method is best used in situations when the hose is going to be deployed directly for use. This method allows the hose to roll out easier and facilitates connection to other couplings. Similar to the straight roll method, lay the hose flat and without twists. Then, fold the hose in half, with the male end on top, about two feet away from the opposite, or female, end. Complete the roll from the fold end. After you have finished, check your work and make sure the male coupling is still inside the roll, with the female coupling a few feet ahead of it.
The donut roll and straight method are the most common rolling methods used by firefighters However, there are other methods that may be more beneficial for certain situations. For example, the twin donut roll works well for hoses that are approximately 1 ½ to 1 ¾ inches thick. It can be done by laying both ends of the hose side by side. Then, roll the hose up from the fold side, making the hose into two side-by side rolls, according to PrichardMurray Volunteer Fire Department in Idaho. The end fold will have a decreased diameter, making it more compact and easier to carry.

Once you have finished the roll, lay it flat on the ground. Then, use your foot to push down any jutting coils.
Methods of Rolling Fire Hose
The basket weave is the most common method and is used for all types of a fire hose. It is easy to learn and is quick to roll.
Additional Methods for Firehose Rolling
Fire Hose Nozzles
There are two main types of fire hose nozzles: Straight Stream Nozzle: This type of nozzle is used to produce a straight stream of water. It is more effective at penetrating deep seated fires.
Roll Hose for Storage Purposes
The figure eight is used for larger diameter hoses and is more difficult to learn. It is slower to roll than the basket weave.
Fog Nozzle: This type of nozzle is used to produce a mist of water. It is more effective at extinguishing surface fires.
Types of Fire Hose Rolls
If you want to carry the hose over your shoulder, roll a hose using the self locking donut roll method It is basically the same as the donut roll method explained above, except has a handle made from the hose itself
There are three common methods of rolling fire hoses: the basket weave, figure eight, and spiral.
While some of these methods are taught on the job, it is best to be aware of the ones most common to your particular firehouse to ensure you are following protocol.
Also, using the fire extinguisher too close to the fire can spread and increase the flames when shooting or applying the pressurised agent. FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) suggests standing about 8 feet away from the fire to extinguish the fire properly.
While a fire extinguisher is a vital tool to fight the fires, it can be very severe and dangerous when in the hands of someone that doesn't know how to use or handle it properly
Everyone at the workplace should know how to use or control a fire extinguisher at work in case of an emergency, but unfortunately, not the everyone is practised and taught the basics of how to use and manage the fire safety equipment at work in case of fire emergency.
Rushing To Stop A Fire
Everyone should read the instructions and guidance on a fire extinguisher as a part of the fire safety training, but even if you've nevermore read them before the fire starts, take time to read the directions or commands on how to use the tool Notinstantly.understanding the instructions or guidance may result in dangerous misuse of the equipment, and even small familiarity of how to use or control the tool or safety device can protect you in case of a fire situation.
The distance between the fire and the fire extinguisher is very critical, but many people stand much too close to the fire when operating the safety equipment. While standing too far away will not ease or help to extinguish the fire, standing too close is very dangerous for you as you put yourself at the risk of being burned.
Common Mistakes People Make WithFire Extinguishers
Not Reading Instructions
When a fire occurs, many people rush to get the fire safety equipment without stopping to think of their safety from fire. A fire accident causes depression and stress, but it is necessary to do your best to remain calm and think about your actions about controlling the fire. If the fire is enormous to stop or settle with the fire extinguisher and there are the possibilities that you will be injured or affected by trying to fight the fire, leave the building quickly and call at helpline.
Leaving A Freshly Extinguished Fire
Once you extinguished the fire, then the last thing you should do is to turn around and leave the room quickly The fire starts easily again from the small spark, and it may not be put out when you imagine it is. Observe the area & search the room for any signs that the fire is not the entirely extinguished, then leave the area when you think it is safe.
Standing Too Close

• Fewer hazards remain unidentified during operation.
Workplace Testing Explains Hazard Identification Study (HAZID) The analysis revealed by the hazard identification study serves as
• Health, safety and environment hazards are revealed before significant costs are incurred.
• Action responses are auditable.
• Design and construction delays are avoided.
What Does Hazard Identification Study (HAZID) Mean?
Help prevent the unexpected release of stored energy with these steps:
5. Check for stored energy. Hazardous energy can remain in the equipment even after the energy source has been disconnected and the machine has been locked out.
4. Lock and tag. Apply a lockout device to keep equipment in an energy-isolating position. Then, place a tag on the device with the authorized employee's name who performed the lockout.
2. Shut down. Turn off the equipment using the proper procedures. Inform all employees who use the equipment about the shutdown.
6. Verify isolation. Check again to ensure the equipment is isolated and de energized before service or maintenance begins. 2022
Control Hazardous Energy
Simply put, lockout/tagout is a safety procedure used to make sure equipment and machines are properly shut off and not able to start during maintenance or repair work. “This is known as controlling hazardous energy.”
a proof that the installations are operated under safe measures where employees, third parties, the environment, and the surroundings are excluded from hazardous conditions.
A hazard identification study (HAZID) is the procedure used for hazard identification in workplace health and safety. It is conducted by breaking down all processes in a worksite for detailed analysis. Once a hazard is identified, the hazard identification study reviews the effectiveness of the selected measures and expands the safety measures where required to reach a tolerable residual risk.
The key benefits of a hazard identification study include:
• Hazards are avoided, mitigated or highlighted during design.

Fire and Security Association of India (FSAI) organized a seminar on tall buildings and their safety in the main auditorium of the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER). At this time, Warik was guiding the program as the president. Many luminaries were present in this seminar and important topics were discussed and guided here. Fire and Security Association of India (FSAI) organizes many events throughout the year and this was one of the most important events.
Pune, July 24: Cities in the state are developing rapidly and a large number of tall buildings are being built. The lack of fire safety in these buildings was pointed out several times. Therefore, if a fire occurs in such a place, along with loss of life, other resources are also damaged to a large extent. This damage is preventable by following fire safety rules. So it is necessary to look at it seriously. While constructing tall buildings, it is necessary to consider whether they are competent in terms of fire safety or not. There are provisions in the Fire Act for such buildings. But due to its nonimplementation, the fire threat remains Therefore, Maharashtra Fire Service Director Santosh Warik expressed that instead of discussing fire safety after fire incidents, there is a need to take comprehensive measures to prevent fire.
Pankaj Dharkar, former chairman of FSAI, asserted that the safety rating being prepared by FSAI will be important for the fire safety of tall buildings. It also gave detailed guidance on the systems used globally.

Warrick said that the responsibility of fire safety can only be fulfilled with the participation of construction professionals, developers, architects, structural engineers and building stability standards officers The state government has recently made it mandatory to install and operate 'fire evacuation lifts' in buildings of height 70 meters and above.
Many developers of tall buildings in cities like Mumbai have installed or are currently opting for non certified or substandard fire evacuation solutions/lifts. However, due to quality compromises by builders and regular passenger lift manufacturers, these non-rated fire solutions/evacuation lifts may not provide adequate safety and security to people in case of fire. In contrast, Warrick said fire evacuation lifts are a safer and more reliable option.
