Advanced sensors and intelligence networks, powering the IoT through connectivity and real-time information

Wildfires

Wildfire is on the increase, globally, with fires now burning outside normal fire seasons.

Early detection combined with ground-based intelligence is vital for rapid resource allocation, positioning and containment.

Attentis® Smart Sensors instantly detect fire starts from all sources (arson, lightning strike, powerline related ignitions) providing immediate alert notification, live localised weather, and images to enable rapid investigation and proportionate response.

Attentis® Intelligence Networks significantly reduce contact time; first responders are dispatched with real-time information detailing the extent of the fire and prevailing conditions; maximising effectiveness.

R8 series sensors are self powered and designed for installation in high-risk locations, to create region-wide fire detection, air quality and weather networks.

Portable R9 units can be rapidly deployed at the fire front and mesh in to any existing fixed networks, providing real-time situational awareness, accessible by all personnel.

Incident Command and on-ground personnel can simultaneously view interactive maps that detail live fire front, wind and air quality, as well as firefighter and asset location/movement to enhance safety and effective resource management.

Powerline Management

Existing transmission networks require new levels of information to actively adapt to changing supply and demand requirements.

Attentis® Smart Sensors, configured in networks, provide Utilities with the real-time information required to respond to unavoidable events brought about by severe weather, fatigued components or animal and vegetation encroachment that can cause power outages and fire starts.

Attentis® Intelligent Networks provide 24-hour, sensor data, localised weather and images to enable routine inspection across the entire network from a central location. Our sensors also provide alerts to fire starts/arcing, component failure, breach of sag and swing parameters, severe weather and tower movement; reducing costs and improving response times by pinpointing the location of any system disruption.

The threat of undetected fire starts can be eliminated through early detection and notification provided by Attentis® Smart Sensors.

All sensors can be remotely programmable and can be accessed to view thermal/visual imaging for rapid system disruption investigation and response.

Intelligence Networks

Attentis® Intelligence Networks provide the data required to make informed decisions, which empower organisations to efficiently meet and exceed expectations.

Industries and organisations exposed to natural events need real-time, precise information, as climate change alters the environments in which they operate.

Infrastructure monitoring, bushfire detection, air composition and quality networks, localised weather and micro-climate data, severe weather warning, soil and fuel-load moisture content all play a role in detecting and understanding how environmental events impact regions.

Attentis® Intelligent Networks can transform and improve the status quo. From emergency response to agriculture, urban management to scientific modeling, our networks are designed and intended to improve human understanding of, interaction with, and response to current and future challenges.

Smart Agriculture

Incorporating advanced sensing into current agricultural practices, integrated with microclimate and weather knowledge and equipment automation, positively transforms farm efficiency and production.

Attentis® Smart Agriculture Networks can incorporate stock tracking, animal health monitoring, system automation (gates, pumps, troughs, scales, feeders), on-demand irrigation, storage levels (silos, tanks, dams), fire detection and suppression systems to protect on-property infrastructure and increased safety (roll over alerts) to advance farm management and make informed decisions to get the most from crops and livestock.

Forestry

Forests are the dominant terrestrial ecosystem on Earth and account for 75% of the gross primary productivity of the earth’s biosphere.

The world relies on forests for timber, carbon storage, flood control, water filtration, biological diversity and air purification.

Increasing our understanding of forest health, the effects of climate change, forest fires and pest infestation are key challenges for forest management.

Attentis® Intelligence Networks can play a vital role providing real-time information on soil, vegetation and tree health, threat detection (fire, pest infiltration, fuel load) and deterrence (arson, illegal logging, trespass) to help protect and sustain resources.

Attentis® automated detection and suppression systems also provide unmanned protection of log stacks during wildfire events when access to remote locations is temporarily unavailable.

Air Quality

Clean air and water are vital for life.

Natural events (fires, volcanic activity) and man-made sources (vehicles, factories, landfills, aerosols) release pollutants into the atmosphere causing allergies, disease and premature death as well as having major negative impact on food production and agriculture.

Measuring current air quality is an important step in maintaining the health of our environment and the benefits it provides.

Attentis® manufactures fixed and portable air quality sensors that can be used for monitoring and remediation, as well as rapid response units, deployed during catastrophic events to measure levels of PM2.5, PM10, Ozone, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other pollutants that can pose significant public health risks.

Weather

Weather is the largest single factor that determines global commodity output (mining, agriculture, aquaculture). It is also the most common cause of natural disasters.

Current weather intelligence is acceptable for macro decisions, however finer scale, localised weather data can provide crucial information to avoid unforeseeable outcomes, allowing the deployment of appropriate counter measures to minimise operational disruption from natural events.

Attentis® incorporates wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, barometric pressure and optional additional sensing into our Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS), available for fixed position and mobile applications.

Fuel Management

Fuel reduction (planned or prescribed burning) is a proactive fire mitigation practice to reduce the dangerous build up of fuel in remote areas and forests.

Unforeseen changes in weather conditions during a prescribed burn present the risk of fire escape or re-ignition.

Attentis® portable R9 sensors track fire activity (visual and thermal) from ignition to total black out. Real-time weather monitoring details sudden or dramatic changes in conditions to reduce the risk of escape and the associated threat to people and property. Incorporated air quality monitoring maintains the health and safety for burn crews and the general public.

Accountability for each prescribed burn is provided by event logs detailing fire movements, conditions and traceability throughout the burn operation.

Asset Protection

Attentis® Asset Protection Systems are engineered, stand-alone (resources), autonomous, exterior fire detection and suppression/sprinkler systems.

Multiple sensors contained in each unit activate a highly effective external sprinkler system, establishing a barrier of water to protect any structure from the threat of fire ignition.

Attentis® Asset Protection Systems provide continuous updates and notification of system activation, deactivation and reactivation.

Remote operation via a smart device provides secondary control.

Attentis® provides 24 hour, 365 day monitoring to ensure every system remains completely operational.
