WilliamsRDM, Inc., has released a new sensor-based version of its StoveTop FireStop product to protect homeowners from kitchen fires.
The StoveTop FireStop Plus Sensor can detect grease fires without direct contact of a flame. The embedded sensors monitor the stove 24 hours a day, and each sensor is programmed to look for a specific “signature” that is unique to a grease fire. Through a complex set of algorithms, they compare their data sets continuously to determine if a fire is occurring. Once a threat is determined to be an actual fire, the canister deploys its powder, snuffing out the threat.
“StoveTop FireStop has been saving lives and homes from unattended cooking fires for nearly 50 years, using a tried and true method. But this changes everything. The specificity of the sensors and the algorithms that control their decisions are truly amazing. When you have a fire, every moment feels like an eternity. That’s why we developed technology that could recognize a fire in seconds,” says Carter Shackelford, brand manager for WilliamsRDM in a news release.
The StoveTop FireStop Plus Sensor is available to purchase directly from the manufacturer today, and will be rolled out to WilliamsRDM’s distributor network in the coming weeks.
