Smart sensing for a green future



Forest fires:
An enormous resource loss

In 2016, 160 490 hectares were burned in Portugal, more than twice the average area burned in the 2006-2015 decade. In 2017 we have already surpassed 500,000 hectares of burning forest and more than 100 mortal victims. Undoubtedly, this reality is a national scourge that, year after year, destroys our forest heritage and more importantly it has been taking lives indiscriminately.

Aware of the impact that this problem represents, we resolve to get our hands on the ground and guide our creative potential to solutions that better help forest monitoring and alarm mechanisms.

In the end of 2016 we started the project and we brand it SmartForest. SmartForest is a brand registered in Portugal and owned by us. We are not a comercial company. We are a technological Portuguese Startup that branded the service / Porduct that we are developing as SmartForest. Don't get confused with a comercial company named "Smart Forest, Lda"!


Forest fires, An enormous resource loss.

The SmartForest project

The Project SmartForest aims to develop applications for owners of forest parks, for real-time monitoring of their property. Through a network of low-cost sensors we intend to anticipate the environmental conditions conducive to the occurrence of fires and to detect them at the beggining.

Through the alerts generated by the system we intend to improve the response time of the combat device protect the economic and natural value of private property. With our applications the owners of forest parks will be able to do the real time monitoring of your property.
