Mine fire early warning

Know where fire risk is building.

A Realm deployment correlates camera, atmospheric, and equipment signals so teams can investigate developing fire risk sooner.

Adds context around required fire protection. Never replaces it.

Why early warning matters

Fire risk rarely appears in one place.

Temperature, vibration, gas, airflow, and visual changes can emerge across separate systems. Realm brings those signals together so teams can investigate with context.

Assetsfocus inspections on the equipment showing abnormal change
Productionsurface developing conditions before downtime expands
Responsekeep alerts, evidence, owners, and actions in one record

One early-warning layer

No single alarm sees the whole fire risk.

Realm evaluates conditions, visual evidence, and readiness together—helping teams separate developing hazards from isolated signals.

01Sensors + SCADA

Watch the physical signals

Connect CO, methane, airflow, temperature, vibration, water pressure, and suppression status in one operating view.

02Visual intelligence

See what instruments miss

Surface visible heat, smoke, flame, belt drift, and spillage from fixed and thermal cameras for operator review.

03Safety records

Close readiness gaps

View inspections, training, rock-dusting controls, and equipment readiness beside live conditions—not in separate binders.

NIOSH found that CO-only monitoring can produce nuisance alarms; combining sensor types can improve early warning and discrimination. Read the NIOSH study.

From signal to action

Make every warning easier to act on.

  1. 01

    Connect

    Connect the cameras, sensors, controls, and records already at your mine.

  2. 02

    Interpret

    Signals are evaluated together by location, asset, severity, and rate of change.

  3. 03

    Alert

    Configure alerts by condition, evidence, location, timestamp, and response owner.

  4. 04

    Prove

    Leaders and insurers can review the controls, response, and unresolved risk in one operating view.

Platform proof

Oak Grove Mine

Realm's monitoring platform watches critical components in live mine operations.

Having an AI top layer that continuously monitors our critical components is a real game-changer. This allows us to diagnose, intervene, and address issues more effectively to get us back up and running sooner.

FAQ

The practical questions.

No. Realm adds context and decision support around existing systems. Required detectors, fire watches, inspections, and suppression remain essential.

Begin with the highest-risk asset

Build the warning layer before you need it.

Bring us one belt line, drive system, fan site, or electrical area. We'll map its signals and show you a focused fire-risk deployment.
