Η Huawei and Nova – Wind member of United Group, presented for the first time in Greece, a pilot fire detection program, the Wednesday 29 June, in Syngrou Grove
Τthis particular program is based on 5G technology, as well as the use of algorithms, artificial intelligence and robotic drones. The fire detection program is an early warning system for identifying extreme events, such as fires, using sensors and drones to address a problem with social, environmental and economic ramifications.
Sensors that interface with the event management platform and the drone were placed at strategic points in the park. The drone carries out planned surveillance flights as well as emergency flights in case of indications from the sensors. To detect smoke and/or fire, special algorithms are used which in real time analyze the image and send data to the Control Center highlighting the points of interest.
In case, through the camera, the drone detects smoke and/or fire, it sends an alert to the control center and rushes to the spot where the smoke was detected to confirm the event. Then the drone either returns to its base, or records the progress of the fire.
The result is the immediate determination of the starting point of the fire, the monitoring of remote areas in real time, the early visual detection of smoke and/or fire, the protection of human life and the limitation of exposure to hazards, as well as the monitoring of the evolution of the fire. fire.
Huawei, within the initiative of the Ministry of Development and Investments Elevate Greece, to create a National Register of Young Enterprises, collaborated with PROBOTEK and undertook the financing of the pilot program.
Η Nova–Wind participates as a telecommunications provider of connectivity coverage.
The startling business PROBOTEK, offers the early fire detection system solution.
The event for the presentation of the pilot program was attended by, among others, Mr. Adonis Georgiadis, Minister of Development and Investments, George Georgantas, Minister of Rural Development and Food, Christos Dimas, Deputy Minister of Research and Technology, Ministry of Development and Investments, George Marios Karagiannis, Deputy General Secretary of Civil Protection, Kedzia Radoslaw, Vice President Huawei CEE & Nordic Region, Huawei Technologies, Nikolaos Lazaris, CEO of Huawei Greece, Panagiotis Georgiopoulos, CEO of NOVA-WIND, Georgios Delaportas, CEO/CIO, PROBOTEK, Dionysis Avg.

In the context of the greeting addressed by the Minister of Rural Development and Food, Mr. Georgios Georgantas, stressed:
I want to thank her Huawei of Greece and Nova - Wind, as through their collaboration they show the way to be followed in the field of preventive fire detection, but more generally and in regards to the protection of the environment and primary production.
At the same time, the Deputy Minister of Research and Technology, Mr. Christos Dimas said:
The business synergies of companies from the technology field with Elevate Greece's start-ups are a good example of how we can use the talent, ideas and human resources we have to respond to the challenges of our time, such as the climate crisis . Warm congratulations to the initiators and participants of the initiative, who fill us with confidence that the Greek innovation ecosystem now has the ability and the tools to achieve great collaborations and take the lead.
From his side, Mr. Dionysis Kyriakopoulos, President of Institute of Agricultural Sciences said:
The 750 square meters are a forest of Aleppo pine and one of our main axes is the prevention of fires that have affected the country so much in recent years. In this context and in addition to the other preventive measures we take every summer, we were very pleased to collaborate with Huawei, Nova - Wind and PROBOTEK so that a pilot fire detection project using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and a drone could be implemented in our area of supervision. is being held for the first time in Greece. We hope that this pilot program after its completion will be another weapon in the fire prevention quiver.
Ο Mr. Nikos Lazaris, Chief Executive Officer Huawei said:
