Fire prevention in Flo’s automatic warehouse is guaranteed by the low percentage of oxygen, but this results in extreme atmospheric conditions, which have made it necessary to provide members of the maintenance team with special technical and physical training.
Keeping a low oxygen level in the automatic warehouse prevents the initiation and development of fire; however, this has required the company to set up an adequate system and apply very rigid safety measures. In case of technical faults or jammed pallets, the 12 maintenance operators are allowed to stay in the warehouse a maximum of two hours, after which an alarm is triggered.
Air composition in the warehouse is constantly monitored by 60 sensors to guarantee that the percentage of oxygen is always 15%.
Team members undergo regular medical check-ups to ensure that they are in perfect health condition. They also take courses in high-altitude climbing with expert mountain guides, known internationally for having climbed to over 8000m.
The warehouse is also used by the Fire Department’s SAF (Speleology Alpine River) team for training under adverse conditions.

From July, R-HYBRID SKY will be available, the new generation of vending cups designed to anticipate the standards of the PPWR regulation and reduce the environmental impact of single-use products. The product introduces a lightweight eco-design that reduces the use of virgin raw materials while maintaining performance, a monomaterial structure without fillers to support recycling processes, and the use of 20% food-grade post-consumer recycled polystyrene. Integrated into the RiVending circuit, the cup supports a real “cup-to-cup” model and remains compatible with existing vending machines without any operational modifications.
