Overview
At the beginning of the third quarter of 2025, we installed our first HUVI.GUARDIAN prototype for wildfire early detection in the field. The unit has a camera, edge computing, a solar panel and battery storage and was developed to test the energy autonomy, data flow and detection quality of our autonomous early warning system under real conditions.
In detail
First results
The prototype confirms the technical feasibility of our autonomous wildfire early warning system. Energy autonomy, reliable data transmission and the AI-based detection pipeline were successfully validated under real field conditions.
Funding and research
The field test is part of our Innosuisse-supported development phase for autonomous wildfire detection systems, carried out in collaboration with the Switzerland Innovation Park Biel/Bienne (SIPBB). Since December 2025, we have also been working with the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) on research questions in energy autonomy, image analysis and edge AI for wildfire early detection.
Next steps
The next step is scaling up: a fully autonomous tower for wildfire early warning with a 360-degree camera, integrated edge AI analysis and satellite connection. Further test installations and pilot projects for wildfire detection are planned for 2026.
