Case Study
Check out this scenario to see the benefits of having an EMP in action: A serious windstorm has caused power outages across the city. Despite the best efforts of the electrical company, the power won’t be restored for at least two days.
Company A is a mid-sized warehouse WITH an EMP created using the EPIC platform. Company B is the same but without an EMP.

- 2:25 PM: Everyone is evacuated to a designated safe space. Non-essential personnel are sent home.Â
