Description du projet
Une solution intelligente pour lutter contre les incendies
Les équipements de lutte contre les incendies n’ont pas connu d’innovations notables ces dernières années. Des dispositifs tels que les détecteurs de CO2 ou de température, les alarmes et les extincteurs sont toujours utilisés et doivent être régulièrement inspectés et entretenus. Les avancées technologiques pourraient toutefois contribuer à renforcer les mesures de prévention. Dans ce contexte, le projet TFS, financé par l’UE, propose un nouveau système permettant de mieux surveiller, analyser et prévenir les incendies dans tous types d’installations. Cette technologie innovante, spécialement destinée aux infrastructures critiques, intègre un manomètre numérique et un module intelligent pour recevoir/transmettre les signaux depuis/vers les manomètres vers/depuis le système de réception d’alarme. Elle est également associée à une application mobile ou informatique. Il est ainsi possible d’analyser les incidences et d’émettre des alertes ,le cas échéant.
Objectif
The number of fires per inhabitant has increased over a 250% in the world from 2008 to 2015. Only in 2015, the number of deaths almost reached the 45,000 people in over 3.5 million of fires attended. Infrastructures and vehicles fires account for over a 50% of the total. The economic cost of fire is also relevant. Only in the US, the total cost of fire in 2011 was estimated at $329 billion, or roughly 2.1 percent of U.S. GDP. This cost represents a 34% increase over 1980.
Prevention measures for fires are based on devices like CO2 or temperature detectors, alarms and mechanical items like
extinguishers, firefighting fixtures or pumping groups. These mechanical components are subject to visual inspections from time to time which in the mid-term is a major danger. These old-fashioned procedures for inspection and maintenance may cause major damages in the case of the fire, and have a high-cost in terms of money but also lives. A simple malfunction of the mechanical items can quickly turn fatal.
Titan Fire System (TFS) has created and patented a technology to better monitor, analyse and prevent fires is all sorts of
facilities, with a special focus in critical infrastructure. This technology will disrupt the market of fire prevention systems as they are now conceived worldwide.
TFS is comprised by a (1) Patented digital manometer or smart manometer; (2) Patented module to receive/transmit the
signals from/to the manometers to/from the alarm receiving system (3) Software including a desktop application and an app; (4) Titan cloud to analyse and alert about incidences.
TFS will allow to improve safety against fires, to significantly reduce costs in a security installation and to modernise a very traditional sector.
TFS has already signed their first agreement with a distributor in Spain to start their installation next year.Initial estimations of the company indicate they expect reaching over €17m sales with a net benefit of €5.5m in 2021.
