Project Background
Zhejiang Ningbo Zhenli Chemical Industrial Park is a key chemical production base where safety management is of paramount importance. While traditional fire protection systems offer a degree of safety assurance, they often struggle with slow response times and high false alarm rates in complex industrial environments. To address these challenges, the industrial park decided to implement a Smart Firefighting Project powered by advanced AI technology.
Project Objectives
To enhance fire safety management by adopting high-precision AI-based smoke and fire recognition algorithms, enabling rapid and accurate fire warnings while significantly reducing false alarms. The goal is to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the industrial park.
Technical Implementation
-
High-Accuracy Fire and Smoke Recognition:
The AI algorithm achieves a detection accuracy of up to 99% with a false alarm rate below 1%, averaging fewer than one false alarm per month. Compared with small AI models that generate minute-level false alerts, this system greatly improves reliability. -
Extensive Training Dataset:
The algorithm has been trained on a dataset of over 120 million images, far exceeding the typical 100,000-image datasets used by smaller AI models. This massive dataset ensures superior detection precision and adaptability. -
Low Computational Requirements:
Despite its large-scale training and complex structure, the AI model can run efficiently on CPU-only systems, eliminating the need for GPU acceleration and thereby reducing deployment costs and complexity.
Implementation Steps
-
System Deployment: Install intelligent cameras in critical areas throughout the industrial park and connect them to the AI smoke and fire recognition system.
-
System Integration: Integrate the AI algorithms with the existing fire protection infrastructure to optimize alarm handling and response workflows.
-
Continuous Optimization: Continuously fine-tune and update the algorithm based on real-world operational feedback to ensure long-term stability and reliability.
Expected Outcomes
-
Greatly improved fire warning accuracy with minimal false alarms, ensuring rapid emergency response.
-
Reduced implementation and maintenance costs, improving overall system cost-efficiency and operability.
-
Enhanced workplace safety, protecting both personnel and assets across the industrial park.
Conclusion
The Zhejiang Ningbo Zhenli Chemical Industrial Park Smart Firefighting Project has significantly enhanced the efficiency and accuracy of fire safety management. This initiative demonstrates the transformative potential of AI technology in industrial safety applications. Its successful implementation not only strengthens the park’s fire protection capabilities but also provides a valuable model for other industrial enterprises seeking to adopt intelligent, technology-driven safety management solutions.
