SMART CITY by using security drones for fire detection and evacuation

April 23, 2019

Check out our latest Smart City video in which we visualize our vision of the future in Smart Cities. For this video we chose a specific, very important type of alarm in cities, which is a fire alarm. With that many buildings next to each other, each containing lot's of people, it is clear that this could be a recipe for disaster.

By quickly providing the overview of the current situation of the building, a security drone is able to send the message to the control room quickly and efficiently. In turn, the operator has an easier job in going through the right steps in the process of evacuation and follow-up. For example, the HVAC units and elevators are quickly put out of order, stopping the fire from expanding through the shafts to other areas. With the Sky-Walker platform, all the information needed is visualized very intuitively on screen.
