Electric Vehicles: Prevent ignition and explosions with smart monitoring
With increased customer demand for greener solutions, it's no surprise that electric cars are taking the industry by a storm. However, this brings new challenges when it comes to ensuring safety and preventing damage.
Electric vehicle batteries / accumulators pose a whole new set of dangers, especially for vehicles involved in accidents. When a battery overheats, the electrolytes in the cell ignite, causing further heat and creating a dangerous cycle.
With our Selmatec solution, we aim to provide a highly reliable and easy-to-implement system that indicates sources of danger on the vehicle. Installation is particularly recommended at quarantine areas or depots, where you can use our ThermoView IR camera or LIR camera for real-time monitoring. Thanks to the almost instant feedback, our software is able to analyze the temperature inside the battery to trigger warnings and alarms, send SMS messages or make voice calls.
