Somebody said that the place I work was going to be demagnetized.I work at a battery warehouse and all the manufacturing buildings at the main facility are also supposedly set to be demagnetized as well. I know why airplanes and submarines would need to be demagnetized? But what is the purpose of demagnetizing a building? Or is this a false statement on somebody's part. The only thing I can think of is it has something to do with 3-phase current? As far as I know all the PLC's and computers run on AC. I know maintaining DC power for computers and production machines is complicated so probably 3-phase current is being used. I know when I worked at a machine shop the networking running to the CNC lathes would always stop working because the place wasn't grounded properly. Any information would be helpful to me, because, as of now, this makes no sense to me at all.

Hey, that sounds like an easy way to make money. I guess if you get lost in the building, your compass will point in the right direction! But, why would you need to worry about that in a battery factory?
