Why early heat detection is essential

Fires at charging stations often start without visible warning. Traditional detection methods usually respond when it is already almost too late. With battery fires, every second counts. The earlier a developing overheating is detected, the smaller the chance of escalation, especially at charging stations where valuable vehicles are often charging for long periods and left unattended.

Electrification

The rise of electric trucks and cars is leading to more charging infrastructure, often placed close together, used for long periods and left unattended.

KOOI_ICON_DETACTION_AREA

Invisible threat

Temperature differences are not visible to the naked eye, and risks can develop before smoke or flames become visible.

KOOI_ICON_BATTERY_2

Causes of fire

Fire hazards in electric vehicles often arise from defective batteries, incorrect charging procedures or mechanical damage.

Need for detection

There is a need to detect heat development at an early stage. Time is crucial: the earlier it’s detected, the smaller the damage.

Smart technology for fire prevention

It’s clear that with battery fires, rapid detection is essential. The sooner overheating is noticed, the smaller the damage. Thermal cameras make this possible by detecting subtle temperature differences at an early stage and automatically sending an alert when irregularities occur. Thanks to 24/7 remote monitoring by our own control room, physical surveillance such as a fire watch is no longer necessary. This allows immediate and targeted intervention before an invisible risk turns into a fire or explosion.

What is the RED?

Types of solutions

Kooi offers advanced fire and heat detection solutions, specially developed for high-risk environments where standard detection systems fall short. Thanks to their versatile features, our detection cameras can be used in a wide range of applications. With continuous thermal monitoring, we detect temperature deviations at an early stage, allowing us to manage fire risks effectively and reliably. Always tailored to the specific complexity of each location.

More FAQs

Kooi’s detection system operates based on trend analysis. When the RED detects a temperature increase that falls outside the expected trend, an alert is sent to the Kooi Alarm Centre. The innovative system uses AI (Artificial Intelligence), and this advanced technology helps prevent false alarms.

Thanks to our efficient approach, we keep costs low. The exact costs naturally depend on various factors, such as the size of the area to be secured, the power supply and the duration of the security period. We are happy to provide a free, no-obligation quotation. You pay for our service on a monthly basis.

Kooi’s fire detection system can be used across many different sectors. The detection system is often deployed in the waste and recycling industry, charging infrastructure and the chemical industry. Locations where waste is sorted, shredded, incinerated or composted are at risk of fire. Items such as lithium batteries, mattresses and aerosols pose particular hazards for waste processing. There is also growing demand for other applications, such as in the chemical industry or at charging stations.

The RED is extremely reliable. We operate with a dual internet connection using two different providers, ensuring a consistently stable connection. In addition, we continuously monitor the RED’s performance with our Health Check. If we detect a malfunction, we immediately dispatch a technician to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
