ISCN Global Mixer: Ultra-early detection of wildfires

Forests are under tremendous distress. In Germany, only every fifth tree in forests is still healthy. The past years have seen many heat records and several big and escalating wildfires which are only adding to the menace. As many urban areas around the world are in fact surrounded by forestry and enjoy the resources, protection and other multiple benefits it provides, the smart-city-approach has to investigate how to extend and use its capacities for forest protection as well.

In this ISCN Global Mixer event we will have a look at an interesting example of how extended IOT-sensoring on trees can achieve an ultra-early detection of wildfires. Moreover, Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Dryad Networks, will talk about further developments of digitally-driven wildfire monitoring that includes AI applications and peek at the long-term goal of an autonomous system of wildfire protection.
