Large engineering firms need to rely on specialized sensor suppliers such as PARATRONIC, one of the leading players in the market, with sensors designed to detect high water, flooding, low water, dry water tables and forest fires. Patrice Rilly CEO PARATRONIC talks to Smart City mag.
Discover how PARATRONIC, an SME based in the Ain region specializing in high-tech sensors, is establishing itself as a key player in the ecological transition, from Vigicrue river monitoring to forest fire detection. From lightning protection to artificial intelligence for fire prevention: a closer look at the Reyrieux-based company that monitors 3,500 rivers and 400,000 hectares of forest in France.
AI monitors forest areas with the ADELIE system: an early fire detection solution.
The ADELIE system, developed by PARATRONIC, uses multispectral cameras and artificial intelligence to continuously monitor forest areas. It detects smoke during the day and the glow of flames at night, and provides a precise location of fire outbreaks. The ADELIE system has been adopted by a number of French départements, and is designed to simplify and enhance surveillance of high-risk areas in natural environments.
