IRTIMfireSoftware
Many infrastructures are susceptible to fire, with all the terrible consequences that this entails. An early fire detection system based on infrared thermography is the best option to detect hot spots at a very early stage, before they materialize into a fire.
IRTIMfire Software is an effective system for early fire detection that will help you avoid unscheduled production stoppages and the associated economic losses. In addition, it can provide you with significant insurance premium bonuses, among other benefits.
The first half of 2022 was marked by serious fires in the industry, 7 fires per day, some of them of great virulence. The figure that confirms this seriousness is derived from its cost, and here the industry reaches 37% of the total insurance costs.
Early fire detection can help prevent damage caused by a fire by detecting it and alerting PCI systems and company workers early enough to take quick action to control and extinguish the fire before it spreads and causes further damage. It can also help reduce the risk of injury and loss of life.

IRTIMfire, anticipate the onset of fire
IRTIMfire Software is an intelligent system based on infrared thermography that detects signs of a possible fire at a very early stage.
IRTIMfire allows to act before the appearance of smoke or flames with a high margin of maneuver, contrary to other systems that detect fires when they have already started.
The software is a complete system composed of a control unit with high sensitivity thermographic and visible cameras that detects temperature variations in real time.
The system monitors the installations 24/7 and automatically detects any sign of fire, issuing warnings, alarms and/or activating the extinguishing systems.
Industry applications
IRTIMfire is the ideal tool for companies or organizations that handle or store products or materials that may involve a significant fire load. The system monitors the facilities 24/7 and automatically detects any signs of fire, issuing warnings and alarms, and preventing an outbreak from occurring.
The combination of state-of-the-art thermal imaging cameras together with IRTIMfire's unique algorithms quickly and reliably detect hot spots, ruling out false positives.

IRTIMfiresoftware features
IRTIMfire software offers maximum coverage of your indoor and outdoor installations with high reliability and measurement accuracy. The system has an intuitive interface, with a flexible and scalable system that allows you to expand the number of cameras and areas to be protected at any time. With the IRTIMfire system you will have a great detail of the protected areas and, in addition, it identifies elements that can generate false positives.
Benefits of IRTIMfire
Multiple fields of application
The IRTIMfire is the ideal solution for early fire detection in waste treatment companies (MSW, metals, plastics, tires, paper, etc.), processing and storage of raw materials (wood, biomass, grain, coal, fertilizers, etc.), industrial laundries and petrochemical industries.
Reliable detection of hot spots
The combination of state-of-the-art thermal imaging cameras together with IRTIMfire 's unique algorithms quickly and reliably detect hot spots, ruling out false positives.
Integration of detection technologies
IRTIMfire allows the integration of other existing or newly installed detection technologies, such as smoke detectors, to cover all stages of a fire's evolution.
Communication of incidents and actions
IRTIMfire instantly communicates incidents to the designated recipients for rapid action on the fire source: automatic voice call, SMS, email, app dashboard, push notifications or activation of digital outputs for activation of audible alarms, communication with PCI systems or activation of extinguishing systems.
Scalability
IRTIMfire is a modular system that allows the number of cameras to be increased at any time. The system allows the installation of up to 64 thermal imaging cameras.
IIot - IRTIMcloud
IRTIMcloud is designed to meet the expectations of Industry 4.0. Leveraging sensor connectivity (IIoT) and cloud data processing, it collects and analyzes in real time information from all work centers so that it can be monitored from anywhere with a PC, tablet or smartphone.
Easy installation, configuration and maintenance
The IRTIMfire system only requires the connection of the cameras to the control unit via PoE ethernet cable (local version) or to a Wifi network (cloud version) for its operation, minimizing hardware requirements.
Operability, robustness and self-diagnostics
The cameras and PCs used in IRTIMfire systems are designed to work in the most demanding environments without interruption. However, to ensure 24/7 operability, the system performs periodic self-diagnostics locally and remotely to check that all elements are working properly and alert immediately in the event of an incident.
Intuitive interface
IRTIMfirehas an easy and intuitive interface to allow the operator to focus on safety-relevant tasks.
One or several monitors can be connected for different simultaneous displays (Video Wall), or for basic display in several locations.
Multiple display modes

Easy installation and configuration
IRTIMfireis easy to install and configure. Once all the cameras are connected, it automatically detects them and, thanks to its intuitive interface, the zones to be protected, alarms, alarm and incident communication channels, etc., can be configured.
The IRTIMfire system only requires the connection of the cameras to the control unit via PoE ethernet cable (local version) or to a WiFi network (cloud version) for its operation, minimizing hardware requirements.
Communication of alarms and incidents
IRTIMfire, in addition to fire monitoring, constantly performs self-checks locally and against the Cloud to ensure that all elements of the system are operating correctly 24/7. Any fire alarm or incident in the system itself can be reported through multiple channels:
Digital I/O: visible/audible alarms and system shutdowns
Integration with fire control panel
Notification
by email
Push Notification through Android & IOs APPs
Notification
SMS
System Display Warnings
Connection to Alarm Receiving Center
The IRTIMfire instantly communicates incidents to the designated incidents to the designated recipients for rapid action on the fire rapid action on the source of the fire: automatic voice automatic voice call, SMS, email, dashboard app, push notifications or activation of digital outputs for activation of audible alarms, communication with PCI systems or PCI systems or activation of extinguishing systems.
Adaptability
COMPATIBLE CAMERAS
The IRTIMfire system is compatible with TeledyneFlir A-Series thermal imaging cameras and IRTIMcam cameras. In addition, it allows the integration of other brands and models available on the market.
This wide variety makes it possible to select the minimum and necessary chamber to protect each space without having to oversize.
- Resolution from 250×150 to 640×480.
- Optics from 6º to 105º.
- Combination of different camera brands/models in the same system
HOUSING
To protect the camera and guarantee its correct functioning when operating in aggressive environments, it is essential to protect them with the appropriate housing.
- Protection up to IP69K.
- ATEX protection in explosive environments.
- Air cooling for environments up to 80ºC.
- Water cooling for environments up to 300ºC.
- Heating elements for ambient temperatures down to -50ºC
PAN&TILT POSITIONERS
Depending on the size and geo-metrics of the area to be protected, a fixed camera installation, a Pan-Tilt positioner installation or a combination of both systems can be chosen.
- Fixed mounting. Permanent monitoring of a single plane.
- Pan-Tilt mounting. Cyclic scanning of the
space to be protected.
Additional hardware
VISIBLE CAMERAS
Advantages of the camera and software combination:
- Combination of thermal and visible images (parallel, merged or with contour highlighting) for easy and fast identification of scene elements.
- Smoke and flame detection (in addition to hot spot detection).
EXTINGUISHING MONITORS
For those installations where response time is critical and/or that are left unattended for long periods of time, the IRTIMfire system can take control of the extinguishing monitors to act on the hot spot.
INTEGRATION OF FIRE DETECTION TECHNOLOGIES
In scenarios where, in addition to hot spot detection, other stages of a fire, such as smoke or flames, other detection technologies, such as smoke, heat, gas or flame sensors, can be integrated into the IRTIMfire.
Thus, a potential fire not detected in the hot spot phase because it is in a blind zone, can be detected in one of the following smoke or flame phases.
