Stop Fires Before They Start
Emitted Energy’s early fire detection systems use infrared thermal monitoring to identify heat anomalies before ignition occurs.
The Marshal Solution
Providing Clear Path Solutions to Unseen Challenges
Marshal is a non-PC, edge-computed early fire detection system that combines thermal cameras, gas detectors, and flame sensors with 24/7 autonomous monitoring and a 3-stage alarm hierarchy. Designed in collaboration with Fire Marshals, FLIR, and Emitted Energy.
Compliant with the 2025 thermal imaging fire-detection rules.
The 2025 NFPA 72 code update added Section 17.12 specifically for thermal imaging, a significant departure from the existing video-imaging and radiant-heat detection rules, recognizing that thermal cameras detect the unique heat signature of a potential fire often before flames or smoke become visible.
Marshal is built around these requirements: sensing thermal anomalies, providing early threat detection, and operating reliably in challenging environments, including darkness, smoke, and dust where conventional detectors struggle.
The Growing Risk
Manufacturers are defining new standards to keep employees and assets safe. Early awareness and defined actions are critical — the gap between “something is heating up” and “something is on fire” is where Marshal lives.
5,000+
Manufacturing & battery storage thermal events reported per year in the US since 2017.
2x
Thermal events doubled over the past year as US battery manufacturing & storage facilities expanded.
24/7
Continuous autonomous monitoring — no operator screens to watch, no shifts to staff.
3-Stage
Local cabinet, facility-wide stations, and remote email/text, alerts get to the right person.
Comprehensive early fire detection, in one cabinet.
In the fast-paced world of industry and manufacturing, workforce safety is paramount. Marshal revolutionizes the way you detect, manage, and control hazardous thermal events, combining multi-sensor detection, automated emergency response, and reporting in a single, rugged platform.
24/7 Autonomous Monitoring
No operator screens to watch. Marshal monitors continuously and only interrupts when it matters.
Automated Emergency Response
Discrete alarm relays trigger your protocols, sirens, lights, shutdown signals, third-party integration.
Multi-Sensor Detection
Combine thermal, gas, and flame sensors in one platform. Earlier detection, fewer false positives.
Reports & Trend Analysis
Detail what led up to an event and how it was handled. Post-event analysis builds preventative strategy.
Designed with Fire Marshals
Developed in direct collaboration with local Fire Marshals, Emitted Energy engineering, and FLIR.
120dB Audible & Visual Alarming
Local tower light plus 30+ minute uninterruptable battery backup, Marshal keeps working when power doesn't.
Fire Progression & Detection
The earlier you detect, the more you can do.
Traditional smoke and flame detectors fire once a fire is already underway. Marshal’s thermal camera detects rising surface temperatures before outgassing, and pairs with gas detection to catch incipient events seconds to minutes, sometimes tens of minutes, before flame.
Temperature Increase
Surface heating begins; component or cell starts running hot.
Outgassing
Combustion gases or pre-combustion VOCs begin to release.
Smoke
Visible particulate begins to form as material breaks down.
Incipient Fire
First visible flame. Asset damage now possible.
Fully Developed
Fire is established. Suppression activates.
Out of Control
Beyond on-site capability. Fire department response.
Technical Comparison
How thermal stacks up against traditional sensors.
Each sensor type has a job. Marshal integrates the ones that matter for early detection, thermal, gas, and flame, and skips the late-stage smoke detector that fires only after fire growth has begun.
| Sensor type | Detects before flame | Spatial info | Typical use cases | Marshal integration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gas Detectors | Yes (earliest) | No | Battery rooms, enclosures | Yes |
| Thermal Cameras | Yes | Yes | Electrical, industrial, battery storage | Yes |
| Flame Detectors | No | Limited | Oil & gas | Yes |
| Smoke Detectors | No (latest) | No | Life safety | No |
Conventional Fire Alarms React Too Late
Traditional fire safety systems often rely on smoke or flame detection, triggering alerts only after a fire has already started—when damage is imminent.
- Delayed response times after ignition
- Inability to detect early heat build-up
- Risk to high-value assets and personnel
- Limited monitoring in hazardous or inaccessible areas
How Our Solution Solves These Issues
- Instant alerts for early-stage thermal threats
- 24/7 continuous monitoring—even in tough environments
- Coverage of high-risk, remote, or enclosed areas
- Seamless integration with existing safety systems
