MOOG Pieper, Anbieter schlüsselfertiger, industrieller Video- und Sicherheitssysteme, bietet seinen Kunden mit dem Brandfrüherkennungssystem „Early-Bird-Smoke-Catcher“ eine zukunftsweisende Lösung für die frühzeitige Raucherkennung. Das Schwerter Unternehmen entwickelt damit einen Mechanismus, der preiswert und einfach in der Bedienung ist sowie dank der Integration bewährter Technologien und Produkte dem erforderten Qualitätsanspruch einer sicheren Produktionsumgebung entspricht. Viele Unternehmen beugen einem Brand vor, indem sie auf Systeme setzen, die an eine Brandmeldezentrale angebunden sind und mit kalibrierten Thermalkameras arbeiten. Auch wenn Systeme mit einem solchen Leistungsaufwand sehr effizient sind, erfordern sie gleichzeitig hohe finanzielle Investitionen und sind meist sehr kompliziert in der Bedienung. Als Anbieter von Sicherheitslösungen hat MOOG Pieper seine Erfahrungen gebündelt und mit dem „Early-Bird-Smoke-Cather“ (EBSC) ein Lösungssystem entwickelt, das weniger kostenintensiv ist, eine einfache Handhabung bietet und dennoch die Anlagen- und Arbeitssicherheit in Produktionsbereichen in höchstem Maße gewährleistet.
EARLY FIRE DETECTION
It doesn't always have to be expensive Areas within closed production halls that are particularly difficult to see need supportive monitoring systems that alert employees to a developing fire so that appropriate countermeasures can be initiated. Thanks to the low cost of the smoke detection system, it is possible to install it on several cameras and thus keep an eye on many areas within production and storage. The "Early-Bird-Smoke-Catcher" uses intelligent sensors to register even the slightest smoke development and reacts immediately with an alarm message so that a fire can be avoided or quickly contained. In addition, the system has its own WDC (Watchdog Counter), which checks the machines for their operating mode, reports a loss of focus and automatically reports dirty glasses of the housings or cameras. Future-proof approach The newly designed solution builds on the already developed FULL-HD-MINI-INSPECTION video surveillance system, the full HD network cameras of the Illuminator series and the water-cooled protective camera housing of the WUW-2252-E series. Thus, elements that detect important details for smooth process flow even in difficult lighting conditions and even the smallest openings complement Axis Q-Series monitoring software installed on the enclosures. Together, these components form an analysis server on which SmokeCatcher© software is installed. The solution contains an algorithm for detecting smoke and can thus be used beyond pure motion detection. With a wide variety of triggers, the adaptive system releases alarm messages, switches the image in a control centre, sends video sequences via e-mail and can be flexibly parameterised to the local conditions. Flexible and customer-specific True to the motto "New ways, new opportunities", MOOG Pieper focuses on the development of modern systems and solution concepts as well as on their combination with proven product solutions. With the "EBSC", the company has succeeded in designing a new future-oriented approach for professional and flexibly applicable early fire detection. Early smoke and fire detection.
