Securitas UK has announced a new solution to mitigate one of the biggest risk factors for spontaneous combustion across laundry businesses. Often taking place overnight, when there is no one at the premises, spontaneous combustion is a major cause of laundry and launderette fires which results in large amounts of damage to businesses at a high cost. Securitas UK, in partnership with Axis Communications, has come up with a solution in the form of a combination of thermal temperature cameras, optical cameras, IoT sensors, offsite monitoring and remote support services. The end-user or busi-ness is then alerted to any unexpected temperature hotspots and the potential risk of fire.
