ForestGuard detects open-air fires in under 15 minutes using AI-powered, solar IoT sensors. It works infrastructure-free and monitors air quality and toxic gases.
About
ForestGuard is a deep-tech IoT solution developed by Binary Labs Technology Inc. for real-time open-air fire detection within the first 15 minutes. Using AI-powered, solar-powered sensors and infrastructure-free communication, it continuously monitors environmental data such as air composition, temperature, humidity, and gas resistance. Positioned at the intersection of environmental protection and predictive risk management, ForestGuard empowers industries, municipalities, and landowners with proactive fire detection and air quality monitoring for high-risk outdoor environments.
Key Benefits
Fire Detection & Risk Mitigation
- Detects open-air fires within 15 minutes
- Differentiates between harmless smoke (e.g. exhaust, cigarette) and real fires using AI-based gas classification
- Predicts fire spread direction, enabling proactive intervention
- Generates pre-fire risk heatmaps for high-risk zones
Deployment & Infrastructure
- Solar-powered, infrastructure-free, satellite or LoRaWAN communication
- Easy to deploy across remote or high-risk areas
Environmental Intelligence
- Real-time air quality & microclimate monitoring
- Urban heat island mapping, noise pollution detection
- Enables resilience planning with historical air/environmental data
Applications
ForestGuard targets B2B and B2G stakeholders responsible for protecting high-value open-air assets and operations in fire-prone or environmentally sensitive areas. Key target users include:
- Agricultural producers (orchards, vineyards, farms vulnerable to drought/fire)
- Supply chain facilities (e.g. warehouses, logistics hubs, cold storage with surrounding vegetation)
- Energy & utility firms (solar/wind farms, substations)
- Waste & recycling companies
- Municipalities, smart city planners, and resort properties
- Insurance providers seeking to reduce risk exposure and claims
