Drones can reduce risk to firefighters who run in on each call-out – sometimes into a sea of flames more than 1,000 degrees Celsius.
The new N45 LHD series of fiber-optic Linear Heat Detectors (FO-LHD) can achieve a measuring range of up to 16km per channel with up to 4 independent sensor channels.
Fires break out in companies every five minutes. A defective electrical system is a frequent cause of fires.
The patented Notifier Self-Test detector performs real sensor tests by safely heating the thermistor and by generating real smoke to test the optical sensor.
Recognising hazards more quickly and, in the event of an emergency, transporting the necessary equipment to the scene as quickly as possible to save lives.
The compact control panel BC08 is designed for small fire alarm systems. Commissioning is simple - even without a PC.
The MultiSensor-TI is the latest MultiSensor technology and, in addition to various gas sensors, integrates a 1024px thermal image sensor for monitoring critical system statuses and early fire detection.
The new 155 F wireless system for hold-open systems from Hekatron Brandschutz revolutionizes fire detection systems with its simple and efficient technology.
CONUS II Sounder-Flasher has an integrated battery which allows to install up to 126 alarm devices per loop.
The DENIOS lithium-ion battery transport box XL is the company's latest product development.
The video-based fire detection solution Aviotec 8000i IR marks a quantum leap in fire protection.
The AXIS P1468-XLE Explosion-Protected Bullet Camera is certified for Zone and Division 2 (ATEX, IECEx, cULus).
Every now and then, news reminds us of the devastation that a large building fire can cause. One consequence is that fire doors now receive the attention and regulation that they deserve, both nationally and internationally. Just as important, however, is that a fire door must be properly closed to be effective. Assa Abloy has a complete range of door closing solutions to meet the needs and regulations of almost every type of of door in every building.
Lithium-ion batteries offer many advantages. They are long lasting, have a high energy density and are only slightly self-discharging. The batteries are therefore particularly practical for many devices in the industrial sector as well as in security technology. However, one thing should always be borne in mind: Lithium and many of its compounds are highly flammable and highly reactive. Certified and GS-tested type 90 safety cabinet models enable the highest safety requirements to be met when storing and charging lithium-ion batteries.
Clinker production requires extremely high temperatures. Fuels therefore need to be kept at the ready to provide the necessary energy. However, whatever burns during a manufacturing process is also a fire hazard. The Heidelberg Materials cement plant in Schelklingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany therefore uses infrared thermal imaging cameras to enable smart early fire detection.
The revolution in fire protection is underway as AI-powered video-based fire detection represents one of the most significant advancements in the field. Bosch Building Technologies’ Aviotec 8000i IR solution utilizes AI algorithms for smoke and flame detection. These deep learning-based algorithms enable real-time, accurate fire detection while minimizing false alarms.
The Euralarm Fire Section has started a new Task Force that will focus on video fire detection. The start of the new task force follows after identifying video as an expanding technology for the fire business. The scope is to investigate mainly both products / systems and installations of video fire detection in general including thermal video fire detection.
Product quality is high on the priority list of any reputable manufacturer. Whether your business manufacturers finished articles or components for other business to incorporate into their products, the risks are the same: If your production equipment fails, your business quickly transitions from a profitable organisation to a loss-making company.
Fire is a bad thing, so the earlier a developing fire can be detected, the better. Early warning can prevent severe damage, environmental pollution, and most importantly save lives. There are various ways of detecting a fire, some of which have been around for decades and others that are emerging as faster, more efficient, or more reliable. Although GIT SECURITY already reported on this subject quite recently, the latest developments deserve a mention here so that you are up-to-date on your options.
Siemens Smart Infrastructure is launching a new version of ‘Fire Manager’, its dedicated web-based SaaS (Software as a Service) fire app that offers service providers and fire safety managers the capability to have all fire safety sites in one view. The status of buildings can be easily monitored, with more information available by clicking on a site of interest via a fully encrypted connection that ensures the safety of the data.
Envision, C-Tec’s cloud-based IoT remote access, monitoring and system test solution, is now available.
Why Yacht Owners Are Adding Thermal Imaging Cameras to Minimise the Risk of Lithium-Ion Battery Fires.
The creation of clear, transparent audit trails boosts the safety of multi-residential properties and reassures both owners and building residents. Having a reliable and up-to-date source of specification information is essential to maximize the effectiveness of the inspection cycle. As at many other stages of the building lifecycle, digitalization can be an ideal solution.
The latest on lithium-ion batteries: VdS, Europe’s most important institute for fire protection, has looked at the current state of research and practice concerning these potential hazards and, above all, some protective measures. Most of them easy to ensure and to implement.
