The composition and quantity of equipment is determined by the purpose of the installation and the peculiarities of the specific facility.

Russian-made fire robotics are also used in deserted technologies, which increases the safety of extinguishing fires at dangerous facilities. Automated systems are able to operate offline without human presence, which is especially important for large transport nodes.^[1]
