Robotic Fire Watch Systems: The Future of Autonomous, 24/7 Fire Monitoring
The Robotic Fire Watch System delivers a breakthrough in safety and efficiency. Designed for rapid deployment, this self-contained, portable system provides continuous fire monitoring in areas that are too hazardous, temporary, or costly for human fire watch patrols. Perfect for construction sites, industrial maintenance, or advanced detection backup.
Key Applications & Cost Reduction Benefits
By replacing costly human fire watch labor with automated, NFPA-compliant technology, SSI’s Robotic Fire Watch dramatically reduces risk, improves reliability, and ensures uninterrupted safety coverage.
Post-Hot Work Monitoring
Ideal for welding, grinding, and cutting operations, the system provides autonomous monitoring after hot work is complete—eliminating the need for continuous human supervision while still meeting insurance and code requirements.
Monitoring During System Impairments
When your permanent fire alarm or suppression system is offline for maintenance or upgrades, the Robotic Fire Watch acts as a temporary NFPA 72-compliant fire watch. It integrates via dry-contact relays for seamless continuity of protection.
High-Risk & High-Value Environments
Ideal for waste facilities, aircraft hangars, manufacturing, and construction sites, where dust, debris, or airflow can interfere with conventional detectors. The Robotic Fire Watch maintains protection even in challenging environmental conditions.
AI-Driven Detection & Integrated Safety Technologies
Each Robotic Fire Watch unit combines optical flame detection, AI video analytics, and local audio-visual alarms for full-spectrum hazard monitoring. It provides 24/7 coverage, video recording, and immediate alerts.
Fike IR3-HD Flame Detectors
Incorporating Triple IR (IR3) flame detection, these sensors deliver millisecond-speed response while remaining immune to false alarms from sunlight, welding, or hot equipment.
AI Video Analytics
Embedded artificial intelligence analyzes live video for smoke, flame, or heat signatures up to 100 ft (30 m) away—minimizing false alarms and enabling predictive alerts before visible combustion.
Integrated Horn-Strobe Warning
Each unit features an onboard horn-strobe for local evacuation alerts and can connect to an FACP or suppression panel for coordinated release.
NFPA 72 Compliance & Remote Integration
SSI’s Robotic Fire Watch is fully NFPA 72-compliant for temporary or impaired system monitoring. It provides dry-contact relays for alarm, fault, and supervisory signals, enabling direct integration with the facility’s Autocall Control Panel or remote central station monitoring.
Real-time notifications can be transmitted to mobile devices, control rooms, or first responders, ensuring instant awareness and rapid response.
