B2C - Household Uses
For our non-industrial customers, we offer a simplified version of our solution that harnesses the capabilities of computer vision. This streamlined offering provides an accessible and user-friendly experience, catering to a wide range of customers with diverse needs. By leveraging computer vision technology, our simplified solution still delivers effective fire detection and safety features, tailored to non-industrial settings.
The Benefits of Detectium's Solution
Speed
Our solution incorporates a state-of-the-art highly sensitive IR detector, enabling the detection of small temperature anomalies and flames both indoors and outdoors. In addition, we enhance the system with active learning on an RGB sensor, significantly elevating visibility and accuracy levels. With a rapid detection time of under 9 seconds for small fires, we outperform current fire detection systems, ensuring quick and efficient fire detection.
Accuracy
Our cutting-edge thermal and RGB camera sensor technologies offers an expansive detection range, setting a new standard in fire detection capabilities. Our solution stands out by detecting flames of 0.01 square meters size from an impressive distance of 60 meters away. In comparison, traditional fire detection methods using smoke detectors typically have a limited range of approximately 10.5 meters, and heat detectors come in at around 7.5 meters.
Use of data
By harnessing the power of machine learning algorithms to analyze historical data collected at the factory over an extended period, specifically focusing on various fire hazard incidents our solution intelligently identifies and maps high-risk areas, enabling more effective and targeted risk mitigation strategies for the future. Additionally, we continuously retrain our machine learning model to ensure its adaptability and efficiency in managing all possible scenarios.

Company Background
Established in 2021, Detectium is a startup in Finland. The project results from a collaboration between three partners: Fenno-Aurum, TeamDev, and Aalto University, to reduce casualties from industrial fires by digital twinning technology and hi-tech sensors.
Fenno-Aurum is our launch customer and hardware supplier providing their established hardware experience and sensor innovations to continuously collect accurate data about the factory environment.
TeamDev is our project business champion who provides their expertise in machine learning, which is used to analyze the sensor data in real-me and yields actionable insights about improving the factory’s safety.
Aalto University carries over their proficiency in building simulation models from previous projects, which will manifest themselves as a digital twin of the factory. This digital twin will source its data from Fenno-Aurum’s sensors and TeamDev’s data analytics, integrating both into a virtual representation of the state of factory safety.
This project has received seed funding from the EIT Digital 2021 program as an innovation activity in the area of the digital industry under grant number 20644 (Project ID: 21325).
Digital twin definition and background:
A digital twin is the digital counterpart of a physical asset that specifically works with real-time data fed by sensor systems to record and analyze the real-time structural and environmental parameters of a physical asset. This is done for the purpose of performing highly accurate simulations and data analytics.
