ADT Caps Minimizes Fire Damage at Industrial Facilities with Flame Detector-Based Response System

Fire Incidents in 2025 Up 35.6% Over Previous Year
Rising Fire Risks at Industrial Facilities, Especially in Manufacturing
Flame Detectors Capture Early Fires Within Seconds

SK Shieldus announced on March 11 that its physical security brand, ADT Caps, will strengthen its fire response system based on flame detectors for industrial facilities, as the risk of fire increases during the spring season.

Recently, the risk of large-scale accidents has been rising as dry weather and strong winds have led to fires that started at factories, warehouses, and manufacturing sites spreading to nearby forests. According to an analysis of ADT Caps’ own compensation data for the past two years, the number of fire incidents in 2025 increased by 35.6% compared to the previous year. In particular, about 83% of all compensation claims in the manufacturing sector were related to fires, indicating a significantly higher fire risk compared to other industries.

In response, ADT Caps is expanding the implementation of a flame detector-based fire response system, which can react faster than the conventional smoke detection method. Unlike standard fire detectors that only activate after smoke reaches ceiling sensors, flame detectors sense specific wavelengths emitted by flames within seconds, enabling a much quicker initial response. The product is available in both ceiling-mounted and wall-mounted types. The wall-mounted version, in particular, can be installed both indoors and outdoors, with a 180-degree adjustable angle, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial facilities such as waste disposal plants and electric vehicle charging stations.

If an abnormal signal is detected by the flame detector, it is immediately linked to ADT Caps’ physical security control infrastructure for prompt action. The control center monitors the situation in real time using on-site AI (artificial intelligence) CCTV, and in the event of a fire, provides comprehensive support including customer alerts, emergency dispatch, and reports to relevant authorities.

An ADT Caps representative stated, “At industrial sites, the scale of damage increases exponentially if operations are halted, so early detection and response to fires are critical. By building a response system that integrates flame detectors with our security infrastructure, ADT Caps will actively support the safety and asset protection of our customers.”
