When your network drops, your fire panel misreads a zone, or access control fails on a night shift, you do not lose convenience. You lose output, and sometimes your safety case. Yakkaservices designs, integrates, tests and supports the building systems behind your factory under one contract: the network, security, building management, and fire and life safety to NFPA 72 (2022). You get one team accountable for how they work together, and for the certificates your factory inspector asks to see.
Yakkaservices integrates the building and safety systems behind a plant. Here is where that work fits, and where it does not.
When a plant needs several systems designed, integrated, and certified together, and when one team is accountable for how they work as a whole.
If you need to replace one system on its own, a single fire panel or one camera run, a focused specialist contractor will often do it faster. That is the right call, and we will tell you when it is.
If you are buying machine automation, a SCADA or MES platform, or production-line robotics, that is operational technology, and you want an industrial automation vendor. We design the network, security, building management and fire systems that sit around your production line, not the line itself.
Your plant runs in shifts, often around the clock. When the network drops, a power feed trips, or an access gate jams, the line behind it stops, and the cost shows up as lost output every hour until it restarts. Your building systems carry that load quietly, which is why a fault is easy to miss until production feels it.
The Factories Act, your state factory rules, and the local fire authority all inspect a plant before it runs and while it operates. They check your fire detection, suppression, emergency lighting and exits, and they expect records. A plant also mixes uses an office never does: production halls, material and chemical stores, utilities, and sometimes hazardous zones, each with its own rule.
A fire in a storage bay has to alert the whole site, release the right doors, stop the air handling that would feed it, and start suppression, while staff in a separate hall keep a clear way out. That only works when your detection, suppression, public address and access control act as one system, not five that were installed separately.
Every line, store and office in your plant rides on the same physical infrastructure. We design, integrate and certify these six systems so they work together as one connected plant, not just alongside each other.
Every system in your plant rides the same network: production data, CCTV, access control, the phones and the office floor. We design and certify the cabling to TIA-568-D (2018) and ISO/IEC 11801:2017, run for the heat, dust and distance of an industrial site, with the resilience that keeps a line online when a switch or link fails.
ICT infrastructureA plant has gates, docks, stores and a chemical room that each need a different rule about who gets in. Access control and CCTV let you set those rules by zone, role and shift, log every entry, and watch the perimeter and loading bays. Lock-down and after-hours logic is designed in, not added after a theft.
ELV systemsBeyond the camera, your plant needs to know when a fence is breached, a gas leaks, or a store overheats. Intrusion detection, gas sensors and environmental monitoring feed the same platform, so an alarm reaches the right person on the right device, and a leak or a hot store is caught before it becomes a fire or a stoppage.
ELV systemsEnergy is one of your largest controllable costs, and a plant wastes it where no one watches: idle compressors, oversized ventilation, lighting in empty bays. The BMS controls HVAC, compressed air and lighting, and shows energy use by line and by area. Built on BACnet and Modbus, and reported to ISO 50001 so the savings are measured, not assumed.
Building management systemA factory fire moves fast through stored material and machinery, so detection has to be early and suppression has to match the risk. Your addressable fire alarm triggers the right doors, dampers and suppression in sequence, to NFPA 72 (2022) and EN 54, with sprinkler and special-hazard suppression to NFPA 13 where the risk needs it, and the commissioning evidence the fire authority asks for.
Fire & life safety systemsA shift cannot hear a wall siren over plant noise. We integrate public address and voice alarm so a fire event overrides routine paging with a clear, intelligible instruction by zone, loud enough for your floor, with EN 54-16 voice alarm and the meeting-room and training AV in the same scope.
AV solutionsFour failures that appear at commissioning or after handover. Each one is preventable at design stage.
The fire alarm passes on its own, the suppression passes on its own, and nobody runs them together until the fire authority does. On a plant that means a failed NOC inspection on cause-and-effect, and a start date that slips while you re-test. We have been called to sites where the alarm sounded but the dampers never moved and the suppression never armed.
A failed fire NOC inspection, and a production start that slips while you re-test.
A written cause-and-effect matrix agreed early, then a full integrated test before the authority visits, not during it.
A BMS that reports one site-level number tells you the bill went up, not which line, compressor or air handler did it. You pay for the waste for months because nothing points to the source.
Months of avoidable energy cost with no way to find the source.
Metering by line and by area in the BMS, reported to ISO 50001, so a rise points to a machine, not a mystery.
Cameras and card readers log everything and alert no one, so a breach at a gate or a tailgate into the chemical store is only found the next morning on playback. In a plant, that is a stolen load or a safety incident discovered too late to act on.
A theft or safety incident found the next morning, not the moment it happened.
Design the alarm and escalation rules first, so a breach reaches the right person live, then commission against real response targets.
Cutting over a network or pulling new containment through a working hall without a phasing plan stops production at the wrong time. The result is lost output and a shift working around your contractor instead of running the line.
Lost output, and a shift working around a contractor instead of running the line.
A phased plan agreed with your operations and maintenance teams, cutovers scheduled into planned shutdowns, and a tested fallback for anything a line depends on.
In a plant, the systems are only as good as the points where they meet. None of that happens by accident. It happens because the interfaces were drawn at design stage and tested before handover.
When one team designs and commissions all of it under a single contract, those interfaces are one team's responsibility. When each system is a separate contract, the gaps between them belong to no one, until the day they fail.
Compliance is easier to judge when you can see it by system. Here is what each system we deliver is designed, tested and approved against. Every tab carries authority approval and test certification at handover.
Structured cabling and the data backbone that carries every system in the plant, designed for an industrial environment and for growth.
Across all of them, you receive the evidence at handover: test certificates, the fire cause-and-effect matrix, energy metering verified to ISO 50001, and as-built drawings.
