Description
Current research shows undetected machine fires can spread quickly, even compromising building structures and endangering lives. A.G.E.S is designed for the industrial/machine shop environment and is an overhead X-Y gantry system that attaches to existing ceiling infrastructure. Sensor boxes will be attached to machinery, and these will detect and locate a fire. This will trigger the movement of the X-Y ceiling gantry system to move to the fire location and actuate a fire extinguisher.
