Early Fire Detection in Warehouses and Assembly Halls
Automatic alarm triggering when critical temperature thresholds are exceeded
- Segmentation of image areas for alerting
- Documentation of alarm situations to analyse potential causes of fire
- Localisation of heat sources, even in dusty or smoke polluted environments to prevent thermal runaway
- Designed for continuous operation 24 h / 7 without supervision
- Camera feed can be routed to control room or other locations
- Single or multi-camera systems possible
Electromobility – A future-oriented topic that manufacturers of electric vehicles and their suppliers are addressing to the same extent. The same applies to producers of high-performance rechargeable batteries and high-voltage batteries for use in electric cars, electric buses, e-scooters, e-mopeds and e-bikes. The production and storage of these energy storage devices entails some risks. Lithium-ion batteries in particular pose a fire hazard, as they can self-ignite in the event of a thermal runaway and release toxic gases when burning.
In order to avoid such a scenario, InfraTec offers a way to monitor assembly and storage halls completely automatically with the thermographic automation solution FIRE-SCAN. The system, consisting of a high-performance infrared camera and corresponding software, self-monitors the temperature development at workstations and storage areas 24 hours a day and reliably localises heat sources, before a thermal runaway occurs.
