> overview

A research pipeline, not a product brochure.

The AI Fire Detection division develops machine learning models that redefine how fire events are identified, classified, and predicted — spanning convolutional networks for real-time flame recognition, recurrent networks for temporal smoke analysis, and sensor fusion algorithms that combine optical, thermal and electrochemical streams into a unified inference pipeline.

Training data covers more than two million labelled combustion events captured across controlled burn laboratories — smouldering, flaming and explosive scenarios across diverse fuels and conditions. VESDA AI integration extends the same models into predictive failure analytics for detection circuit degradation before hardware faults manifest.

By deploying multi-modal inference at the edge, we eliminate false alarms that plague threshold-based systems — a 97% reduction in nuisance events while sustaining sub-second response on genuine fire signatures.
