Minimizing fire risks in automotive logistics company with Hikvision thermal cameras

 

Logistics companies dealing with warehousing of flammable or volatile products or components are subject to significant fire risks. This is the case for automotive logistics company M. Preymesser Logistika, which stores lithium batteries for electric vehicles. To ensure that these high-value assets never overheat and cause a fire, the company has deployed a latest-generation thermal imaging solution from Hikvision.

 

The challenge - Preventing fire risks to protect high-value automotive assets

Every day, many OEMs and logistics companies in the automotive industries deal with assets and products worth millions of dollars. Not only that, but some of the components used to build cars are highly flammable, creating fire risks that need to be monitored and mitigated to protect staff and facilities. 

 

This is the case at Preymesser, a major player in the automotive supply chain, which is located in Mlada Boleslav in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. The company, which is a core logistics partner to an automotive brand, stores and transports lithium batteries for electric cars. These are extremely high value items that can, on rare occasions, also create fire risks due to overheating. 

 

Preymesser needed a way to monitor the car batteries and other goods around the clock in a challenging warehouse environment, where moving people and vehicles often obstruct the view of security cameras and other sensors. 

 

Not only was traditional video security a key requirement to achieve this, but thermal imaging technology was also needed to detect fire risks immediately. The company also wanted automated alarms in the event of an overheating component or other incident to minimize manual fire-monitoring processes.

 

The solution - Intelligent bi-spectrum imaging cameras from Hikvision

To ensure that any fire risk can be detected before damage or losses are incurred, Preymesser chose Hikvision's Thermographic Thermal & Optical Bi-spectrum Network Turret Cameras (DS-2TD1217T-2/PA) to use with their fire detectors. These were delivered by local Hikvision partner EFG. The bi-spectrum thermal cameras and fire detectors immediately identify objects that are emitting excessive heat and trigger alarms to managers or members of security teams. 

 

The Hikvision cameras were chosen because of their excellent price-to-quality ratio, their sensitivity to even very small changes in temperature, and their ability to trigger alarms to teams automatically on detection of a fire risk. 

 

In addition to these important features, the cameras use an onboard AI algorithm to distinguish between genuine fire risks and innocent moving objects, such as forklift trucks or people moving in front of stacked car batteries, helping to minimize false alarms. 

 

The benefits - Effective fire prevention, with fewer costly false alarms

With the Hikvision solution, Preymesser has peace of mind that its assets, people, and facilities will be protected against fire risks, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

 

Jan Nečas, Executive director of Preymesser, says, "The Hikvision solution is meeting and exceeding our expectations in terms of protecting our operations. We now know that any component that overheats, even small variations in temperature, will be detected automatically, allowing our teams to act fast to minimize the risk of a full-blown fire and prevent any losses or damage. It's all about protecting our business and our people – and Hikvision is helping us achieve it."
