In a context shaped by climate change, ACOT Systems developed Firecatch, an early forest fire detection solution that combines high-definition imaging, artificial intelligence, and the support of Youtouch in the development of mobile applications.

Climate change has made forest fires an increasingly frequent and difficult threat to control.
In this scenario, having tools that allow action to be taken in time can make an enormous difference.

That is why we are proud to be part of Firecatch, the early fire detection system developed by ACOT Systems, a solution designed to remotely monitor areas with high fire risk due to factors such as wind, high temperatures, and low humidity.

Firecatch uses high-definition imaging technology and artificial intelligence to identify smoke columns in real time, enabling fast and timely detection.
This helps reduce response times and can be decisive in preventing an initial hotspot from turning into a large-scale wildfire.

At Youtouch we are very pleased to have supported this project through the development of mobile applications, contributing our technological expertise to a solution with real impact.
We strongly believe in the value of initiatives like this, where technology not only improves processes but can also make a real contribution to addressing urgent environmental challenges.
