FIRE-RIP – an intelligent early fire detection system for smart harbors

From the aspect of smart harbors/ports digitalization of processes and services is conducted as a part of process automation that helps in creating the smooth port operational flow and function. However, as far as we know, the automation of harbor fire protection process is still not present even in some advanced global harbors and ports. The omnipresent risk of fire hazard in harbors and their facilities is constantly present and just one fire accident can cause huge losses on containers containing valuable cargo and goods inside ports or ships and luxurious yachts in harbors. It is extremely difficult and hard to manually manage fire protection of large harbors and by having an automated fire detection and protection system in place, fire disasters can be both prevented and minimized. After performing detailed research on current commercial state-of-the-art in the field we couldn’t identify any identical system developed and implemented on the market or even in the research stage. Therefore, the novelty and originality of our work lies in R&D activities for creating smart harbor fire detection solution by implementing new emerging AI, IC and sensor technologies in fire extinguishers and surveillance systems in order to create an innovation that will enable more efficient, more secure, more reliable and smarter fire protection.
