Webinar: Using IoT for Early Fire Detection Applications
MoviTHERM Releases a Two-Part Webinar Series: “Using IoT for Early Fire Detection Applications”
MoviTHERM announced the release of a two-part webinar series, Using IoT for Early Fire Detection Applications, in response to the rising fire outbreaks in recycling facilities and other industrial settings.
The webinar addresses the evolution of early fire detection and how leveraging the internet of things (IoT) with infrared technology is revolutionizing how industrial facilities can prevent fire outbreaks.
“With more reported fires each year, it is important for industrial companies to know what early fire detection solutions are available to them. Just as critical is knowing how to choose the correct one based on their needs,” said Markus Tarin, President & CEO of MoviTHERM.
“We want to educate viewers on the value of implementing the internet of things for early fire detection applications. Early fire detection has evolved tremendously, and there are many groundbreaking capabilities the public isn’t aware of.”
The webinar series covers topics like:
- Benefits of using thermal imaging cameras
- Advantages of leveraging the industrial internet of things (IoT)
- Demonstrate the MoviTHERM iEFD Cloud software application

About MoviTHERM (https://movitherm.com):
MoviTHERM – Advanced Thermography solutions was founded in 1999. The company provides IoT Cloud monitoring solutions for thermal imaging applications for early fire detection and machine condition monitoring and other applications. In addition, MoviTHERM offers solutions for plastic welding, package sealing and non-destructive testing. MoviTHERM is a Teledyne FLIR Premium Partner and master distributor for FLIR Thermal Cameras for automation and science applications.
These cameras tend to run very hot as part of their normal operation. So it is very difficult to place these cameras into a standard thermal camera enclosure, as this may cause a thermal runaway situation. A thermal runaway is a situation where the heat from the camera warms up the surrounding air and the enclosure too quickly, causing the camera to eventually overheat. The Megalodon enclosure series addresses this issue with an advanced thermal management design, thus keeping the camera within the recommended operating range specified by the manufacturer.
When decision-makers seek to integrate new hardware into their automation process, they are often looking at a few key areas – the ease of use, price point, features, and the ability to utilize the hardware at multiple points throughout their system. The new A50 and A70 thermal cameras come in three options – Smart, Streaming, and Research & Development to fit the needs of professionals across a variety of industries – from manufacturing to utilities to science. The new cameras offer improved accuracy of ±2 °C or ±2% temperature measurement, compared to the previous accuracy of ±5 °C, or ±5% temperature measurement. The cameras all include an IP66 rating, along with a small, compact size with higher resolution options compared to previous versions.
Featuring a thermal resolution of 464 x 348 (A50) or 640 x 480 (A70), professionals can deploy the A50 or A70 cameras in a variety of capacities. These include condition monitoring programs to maximize uptime and minimize cost through planned maintenance, or when used in early fire detection applications to safeguard the lives of workers and secure the profitability of the business by protecting materials and assets. With improved temperature measurement accuracy of ±2 °C, professionals can rely on consistent readings over a period of time, or through varying environmental factors, eliminating any guesswork from data analysis.
“FLIR has developed a rock-solid entry-level IR platform for automation, condition monitoring, and early fire detection applications. MoviTherm is extremely pleased and excited to offer the FLIR A50 and FLIR A70 cameras as part of their integrated solutions!”
