Amplicam supports Wildfire Technology Management Summit 2023
Amplicam, a leading provider of early wildfire detection and monitoring
systems, recently had the opportunity to participate in Sacramento's highly
anticipated Wildfire Technology Management Summit 2023 #WTMS2023, held in
April. The event drew a multitude of professionals from the industry, creating
a vibrant atmosphere buzzing with knowledge and innovation. Over the course of
two days, Amplicam had the pleasure of connecting with numerous individuals,
exchanging ideas and forging valuable connections.
Among the notable encounters, we were delighted to meet and engage with
passionate experts, such as @Kim Zagaris, @Tonya Hoover, @Ben McGrane, @David
Green, @Brian Fennessy, Brian Marshall, Jeff Meston, @Kim Connors, Jerome
Perez, and many more, who share our commitment to addressing the pressing issue
of wildfires. Their deep understanding and firsthand experiences reinforced the
significance of our mission and fuelled our determination to make a positive
impact. It was truly inspiring to witness the collective enthusiasm and
collaborative spirit that permeated the conference.
At Amplicam, we recognize the urgency and global scale of the wildfire problem,
particularly evident in the United States where approximately 70,000 wildfires
occur each year. California, in particular, has been no stranger to the
devastating consequences of these natural disasters, making the need for
effective solutions all the more pressing.
The Amplicam Wildfire Guardian, a cutting-edge system designed to detect fires
at the preheat stage, leveraging commercially available cameras and advanced
analytics software. Early detection is paramount in minimizing the damage,
losses, pollution, and resources consumed by wildfires. By identifying fires in
their incipient stages, we can swiftly mobilize resources, coordinate
responses, and mitigate the impact of these destructive forces.
Our innovative solution is built upon a network of existing video surveillance
cameras, harnessing their inherent capabilities with the aid of proprietary
software. This comprehensive system provides centralized coordination,
efficient resource management, and robust report generation. Additionally, our
Geographic Information System (GIS) visually represents the precise locations
of cameras and identifies potential hazards, offering invaluable insights for
prompt action.
Participating in the Sacramento wildfire conference has reaffirmed our belief
in the power of collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Engaging with industry
professionals has not only expanded our network but has also deepened our
understanding of the challenges and opportunities in the field. We are excited
about the prospects of serving the US market in the years to come, as our
presence in North America grows stronger with offices established in both the
United States and Canada.
As we reflect on our experience at the conference, we remain committed to
pioneering innovative solutions that combat the devastating effects of
wildfires. With the Amplicam Wildfire Guardian at the forefront of our efforts,
we are determined to make a significant difference in protecting lives,
properties, and the environment. By leveraging technology and collaborative
partnerships, we can foster a future where the destructive power of wildfires
is mitigated, enabling communities to thrive in harmony with nature.
We’re looking forward to see everyone next year at the Wildfire Technology
Management Summit 2024!
