Autonomous robotic fire suppression systems

UNIFIRE AB is a globally recognized supplier of the worlds most advanced Autonomous Robotic Fire Suppression Systems (ARFSS). What sets ARFSS apart is how these
capabilities work together in practice. They can integrate virtually any type of
detector – IR3 flame detectors, thermal imaging, video analytics, linear heat
detection, and others. Multiple detectors may be combined not only to confirm an event, but also to expand coverage with additional detection zones, making false activations exceedingly rare. When two detectors are strategically placed – whether specialised flame
detectors, thermal imaging cameras, or video analytics – ARFSS are capable of triangulating the precise three-dimensional location and size of a fire, depending on detector
set-up. When equipped with thermal imaging cameras, they are positioned independently from the nozzle, so their view is not obstructed by the agent stream during suppression.
This allows fires to be attacked at their exact source, suppression to adapt in real time, and even multiple incidents to be managed simultaneously. Once a fire is confirmed, ARFSS act within seconds, directing agent exactly where it is needed – first containing the perimeter, then sweeping the flames down at their core. Like other smart monitor systems, ARFSS shut off agent flow once suppression is complete. But unlike AFM models, ARFSS are able to confirm actual extinguishment and apply only a brief over-spray for cooling – making them more efficient in both precision and agent use (with the overspray duration fully programmable). Importantly, ARFSS remain fully armed and ready to respond immediately should a flare-up occur.
ARFSS units can act completely independently, but they can also communicate with each other, enabling coordinated response strategies across an entire facility.
