Innovative Fire Protection
Our Technology
Comprehensive Fire Protection Solutions.
RDi’s uses advanced fire protection systems from Firefly to provide comprehensive solutions, safeguarding everything from individual machines and filters to entire processing lines. Each system integrates precise detectors, efficient extinguishing equipment, and state-of-the-art control units to detect and neutralize potential fire risks with exceptional accuracy across various industrial processes.
Every solution is custom-designed to meet the unique demands of your application. For processes where water isn’t suitable, alternative methods like inert gas or mechanical separation ensure optimal protection. All systems are powered by Firefly’s EXIMIO™ control platform, featuring the intuitive IntuVision™ operator interface for seamless user interaction and system management.
Stopping Fires Before They Start
Firefly’s cutting-edge systems are designed to detect and neutralize fire risks at the earliest stages. With TrueDetect™ technology, we detect even the smallest hot particles—well before visible sparks—and respond instantly to prevent ignition.
Our tailored solutions, including Quick Suppression with water mist or alternative extinguishing methods like inert gas and mechanical separation, ensure optimal protection for high-risk areas and critical equipment. Managed through the advanced EXIMIO™ control platform and user-friendly IntuVision™ interface, Firefly systems provide comprehensive safety for everything from individual machines to entire processing lines.

Prediction
Firefly’s Intelligent Prediction Technology is designed to detect fire risks before they emerge, identifying potential issues in machines or processes early—long before ignition sources are generated. By analyzing critical data, the system provides actionable insights, empowering facilities to take proactive measures, prevent failures, and maintain seamless operations.
At the heart of this predictive approach is Firefly’s Multiple Gas Detection (MGD) Technology, originally developed for aerospace. Acting as an “electronic nose,” the MGD detector analyzes a combination of fire-related gases to detect the earliest warning signs of potential ignition. With pre-alarm functionality and customizable solutions for diverse environments, MGD technology delivers unmatched early warning capabilities, enabling rapid intervention to halt fires before they escalate.
By staying one step ahead with predictive fire protection, businesses can enhance safety, reduce downtime, and safeguard their operations through smarter, forward-thinking strategies.
Prevention
Firefly’s prevention technology is designed to eliminate ignition risks before they escalate into fires. By leveraging TrueDetect™ and TrueIR™ technologies, Firefly systems detect and extinguish ignition sources—such as sparks, hot friction particles, and flames—within milliseconds. This proactive approach ensures fires are stopped at the earliest possible stage, safeguarding operations and minimizing damage.
Unlike conventional detectors that rely on visible light, Firefly’s TrueIR™ detectors operate exclusively in the infrared spectrum, making them highly accurate and insensitive to daylight. This advanced detection system can identify hazardous particles as small as black friction dust, even at temperatures as low as 400°C—far below the visible spark threshold of 700°C.
With patented Multi-Checkpoint™ technology, Firefly detectors provide rapid and precise identification of ignition sources, even in high-speed processes where particles travel up to 50 meters per second. By addressing risks before they manifest, Firefly’s prevention technology empowers industries to maintain safe and efficient operations without the need to fight fires after they’ve started.
Protection
Protecting high-risk areas and critical machinery requires a fire protection system that responds in an instant. The faster a fire is detected and extinguished, the less damage it causes, minimizing production downtime and ensuring the safety of your team.
Traditional sprinkler and water mist systems offer general protection but often react too late to prevent damage in critical zones. Firefly’s Quick Suppression System is designed for instantaneous response, extinguishing fires before they can spread. This advanced system not only reduces downtime and repair costs but also enhances workplace safety by stopping fires at their source.
Mitigation
Dust explosions pose significant risks in industries handling dry and finely divided materials like wood, grain, flour, and sugar. Fine particles suspended in the air within an enclosed space can ignite, causing rapid combustion and dangerous pressure buildup. Firefly’s EXsolvo and EXIMIO™ systems are designed to minimize the damage and financial impact of such incidents by detecting risks early, mitigating explosion effects, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
The EXsolvo vent panels act as a safety valve, releasing pressure during a dust explosion to prevent structural damage. For enhanced protection, the EXsolvo flameless venting unit safely vents explosions without allowing flames or glowing particles to escape, protecting both equipment and personnel. Integrated with EXIMIO™, burst sensors provide real-time alerts when safety devices are activated, while the EXsolvo isolation valve prevents fire propagation by sealing off affected process areas during overpressure events.
Firefly’s explosion mitigation systems are tailored to the unique needs of dry bulk material handling environments, from silos and conveyors to elevators and cyclones. With over 25 years of expertise in explosion protection design, Firefly ensures safe and cost-effective solutions for your site. The EXIMIO™ control system provides centralized monitoring and management, giving you a complete overview of your fire safety measures while keeping your operations compliant and secure.
