Early Fire Detection

Thermal monitoring for early fire detection uses infrared cameras to continuously scan critical areas for abnormal heat patterns or rising temperatures—often before smoke or flames are visible.

By detecting hot spots early, these systems provide automated alerts that enable rapid response and help prevent costly damage, downtime, or safety risks. Ideal for high-risk environments like scrap yards, waste facilities, battery storage, and warehouses, thermal EFD is a proactive and reliable solution for fire prevention.

Applications for Early Fire Detection Solutions

Scrap metal yards

Thermal and infrared monitoring helps scrap yards detect and respond to heat build-up in metal heaps before it becomes a fire risk, improving site safety and reducing downtime. By identifying hotspots early, operators can act faster, protect assets, and maintain compliance—key factors in promoting operational reliability and environmental responsibility.

Risk: Lithium battery fires, spontaneous combustion of stockpiles.
EFD Benefit: Detects hot spots in piles, conveyor belts, and storage areas before ignition.
Outcome: Prevents large-scale fires, reduces insurance costs, improves compliance.

Lithium battery storage

Thermal and infrared monitoring helps detect early signs of overheating or thermal runaway in lithium battery storage, especially for e-bike batteries, allowing quick intervention to prevent fires and ensure safer storage conditions. Cameras allow operators to intervene quickly, isolate affected units, and prevent fires, ensuring safer storage conditions and reducing the risk of large-scale incidents.

Risk: Thermal runaway in lithium-ion battery cells or packs.
EFD Benefit: Pinpoint detection of overheating cells in BESS, EV charging hubs, or UPS rooms.
Use Case: Often paired with gas detection or off-gas sensors for layered safety.

Recycling & waste management

Thermal and infrared monitoring helps recycling and waste management facilities quickly detect heat build-up in waste piles, allowing early intervention to prevent fires and improve site safety. This is especially important in areas storing flammable materials or batteries, where temperature spikes can signal serious risks.

Risk: Flammable mixed waste, gas buildup, deep-pile heat.
EFD Benefit: 24/7 automated monitoring in hard-to-see or remote areas.
Tools: Pan/tilt thermal cameras, AI analytics, integration with alarms/sprinklers.

Warehousing & logistics

Thermal and infrared monitoring in warehousing and logistics helps detect abnormal heat levels in stored goods, equipment, or battery packs, allowing early action to prevent fires and protect inventory. It enhances safety, reduces risk, and supports uninterrupted operations in high-density storage environments.

Risk: Electrical faults, overheated machinery, stockpile fires.
EFD Benefit: Real-time alerting before flame/smoke, especially useful in high-rack storage or pallet areas.

Conveyor systems

Thermal and infrared monitoring helps detect overheating in conveyor systems caused by friction, motor faults, or material buildup. Early detection prevents equipment failure, reduces fire risk, and ensures continuous, safe operation.

Risk: Belt friction fires, overheating motors, underground equipment heat.
EFD Benefit: Monitors moving parts and confined spaces where human access is limited or delayed.

Substations & transformers

Thermal and infrared monitoring in substations and transformers helps detect overheating in components like bushings, connections, and coils before failure occurs. This early warning reduces fire risk, prevents outages, and supports proactive maintenance to keep power systems running safely and efficiently.

Risk: Electrical faults, overheated machinery, stockpile fires.
EFD Benefit: Real-time alerting before flame/smoke, especially useful in high-rack storage or pallet areas.
