How IoT Sensors Predict Wildfire Ignition on Power Lines
In this episode of Internet of Things with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore a cutting-edge application of IoT sensors: predicting wildfire ignition along power transmission corridors. They discuss a pilot program by a major western utility that deployed thousands of networked temperature, humidity, and electrical arc sensors on remote towers. The system caught three potential ignitions in its first month, including a failing insulator that traditional patrols missed. We break down the sensor stack, the data pipeline, and why utilities are racing to deploy this technology before the next fire…
