Detection
exci – The “Smoke Alarm for the Bush”
In wildfire/bushfire management, every minute counts! The faster a fire is detected, the quicker the response, increasing the chances of preventing it from escalating into a large, costly disaster. Traditional wildfire detection methods can take up to 90 minutes after ignition, delaying critical response times.
At exci, we have developed a groundbreaking AI wildfire detection system that automatically detects wildfires/bushfires within minutes. By analysing ground-based camera data and satellite data with advanced deep learning algorithms, even small fires are detected with remarkable accuracy and a near-zero false positive rate.
With exci’s AI-powered wildfire/bushfire detection, you gain the power to act fast, protecting lives, property, and the environment from devastating wildfires.

The problem we are solving
Over the last decade, this planet has experienced some of the worst fires in recorded history. Climate change will worsen this situation, making bushfires even more likely, last longer and more intense.
The economic, social, and environmental impact caused by bushfires is severe. Even towns close to a fire, but not directly affected, are still subject to a downturn in their economy (e.g. tourists staying away, loss in retail business, transport disruptions).
Even though bushfires have always the potential to be destructive, the actions we take to mitigate, prepare and respond to severe bushfires will ultimately determine the level of severity and the degree of recovery from social, environmental, and economic impacts. The best way to reduce severity of bushfires is simple: Detect fires early and put them out fast before they get out of control and cause catastrophic damage.
Yet, currently detecting a bushfire relies on the human eye which can take up to 90 minutes after ignition for the fire to be noticed and reported. exci provides an unequalled, innovative solution to this global problem.
Detecting fires as early as a minute after they start
exci’s early bushfire detection system can help build resilient communities
Bushfires highlight the importance of whole-system thinking. If one system fails, the other systems will not be resilient in an extreme event of a bushfire. Many communities are already underprepared for the worsening of a bushfire threat and beyond their ability to adapt to the immense scale of losses.
A critical component of community resilience is the existence of local early warning systems, enabling rapid response and initial attack procedures of firefighting crews. exci’s early bushfire detection and notification system mitigates significantly the social, environmental, and economic impact of fires on communities.
Protecting valuable assets
Wildfires have devastating impacts within and between infrastructure systems, emphasising the immense vulnerability of the connected systems that could lead to a system collapse.
For example, the loss of power has a direct impact on the communications sector. The impact of damaged infrastructure extends to industries such as farming and tourism. Loss of farmland affects food security. Destroyed forestry has a devastating impact on timber production. The cost of bushfires has a tremendous impact on the financial stability of the insurance industry. The affected communities have been significantly impacted by all those losses.
One of the key predictors of whether a fire turns into a large and devastating fire is the time between ignition and first attack response. This means, early detection of a bushfire may prevent a total system collapse and in turn improve the resilience of our communities.
Even small fires are automatically detected within minutes after ignition with a near-zero rate of false positives
