Early Fire detection
A smoldering spot in stored paper, waste, or secondary fuels develops long before a flame becomes visible to the naked eye. Caused by spontaneous combustion of bulk materials or the introduction of hot contaminants, fires in enclosed hoppers and open-air storage yards pose severe risks to operators and the environment. Our PYROVIEW FDS early fire detection system continuously monitors these critical areas via thermal imaging cameras, triggering instant alarms the moment temperature thresholds are exceeded to protect your infrastructure and minimize costly downtime.
24/7 Continuous Operation

Keep critical facility zones under continuous, 24/7 surveillance. Real-time thermal monitoring identifies anomalies instantly, ensuring safe, uninterrupted plant operations.
Early Hotspot Detection

Detect critical temperature rises long before smoke or open flames appear. Evaluate risks early and initiate targeted countermeasures before disaster strikes.
Made in Germany

Engineered and manufactured in Germany to the highest quality standards. Benefit from precision measurement technology, durable systems, and a dedicated team of experts.
Industry-Proven

Engineered for heavy dust, extreme heat, and harsh operating environments, our infrared early fire detection systems built for continuous industrial duty deliver reliable thermal data even under the toughest conditions.
Applications
Property insurers strongly recommend early fire detection systems, particularly in high-risk zones with elevated fire loads or highly flammable materials. Our PYROVIEW FDS early fire detection system delivers dependable protection for demanding, fire-hazardous environments, including:
- Waste Management & Disposal (e.g., waste pits, recycling storage yards)
- Manufacturing & Processing Industries (e.g., paper and pulp mills)
- Commercial & Industrial Real Estate
- Open-Air Storage & Forestry Operations
How It Works
With the PYROSOFT FDS system solution, DIAS Infrared provides a scalable, turnkey solution for automated early fire detection in demanding environments. At the core of the system is continuous temperature monitoring powered by high-sensitivity PYROVIEW thermal imaging cameras.
- Proactive Detection: Continuous real-time thermal monitoring identifies subtle temperature rises, smoldering fires, or hidden hotspots long before smoke or open flames ever appear.
- Intuitive Visualization: PYROSOFT software displays thermal imaging in a clear grayscale baseline (dark = cold, light = warm) by default. When defined temperature thresholds are exceeded, the system triggers a visual alert: critical hotspots immediately highlight in red, enabling fast, pinpoint localization of the hazard without delay.
- Process Automation & Integration: The system operates 24/7 fully autonomously to execute predefined alarm protocols during an incident. These range from notifying dispatch centers and local fire departments to directly triggering automated fire suppression systems.
VdS Compliant
Our PYROVIEW FDS 380L thermal imaging system is VdS compliant (VdS Directive 3189) as an infrared camera device for temperature monitoring in fire protection.
ISO 9001 – Certified Quality Management
Our ISO 9001-certified quality management system ensures clearly defined processes, continuous improvement, and the highest quality standards across every stage, from product development and manufacturing to customer support.

Real-World Case Studies
Behrendt Recycling, Neumünster Germany

A battery short circuit or a smoldering hot spot in a material stack is all it takes to engulf an entire facility in flames within seconds. At Behrendt Recycling, the PYROVIEW 380L FDS monitors the sorting plant and adjacent storage areas 24/7 to stop fires before they start.
Hazardous Waste Landfill Kölliken, Switzerland

Inside the dismantling hall at the Kölliken Hazardous Waste Landfill in Switzerland, 12 PYROVIEW thermal imaging cameras continuously monitor an area of 500,000 sq ft (46,000 m²). This site represents one of our flagship early fire detection reference projects.
Pirin National Park, Bulgaria

Monitoring 22,000 acres (9,000 hectares) of forest around the clock, our infrared thermal cameras are mounted on custom 65-foot (20-meter) towers at PIRIN National Park in Bulgaria to safeguard one of Europe’s most sensitive nature reserves.
