Spectur Limited announced that it has lodged patents for two new technologies that will help drive its growth. Remote Gas Detection Camera Technology: The first patent is for a unique gas detection system which takes advantage of Internet of Things (IoT) and Software as a Service (SaaS) technologies to enable remote monitoring of plants and pipelines to detect potential dangerous gases and vapours as well as other monitoring services. The system includes an automatic alarm, detecting and isolating with pinpoint accuracy where a gas issue has occured. It also provides real-time vision to assist with identifying potential causes or hazardous conditions. Traditionally, remote gas pipelines require physical or drone inspection whenever a potential leak is detected. The Spectur technology allows for faster detection and identification of potential issues without the costs of direct human inspection or flying a drone across the area. Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) Camera System: The second patent is for a highly advanced surveillance camera that utilises state-of-the- art light detection and ranging technology (LIDAR). The camera enables highly accurate intrusion detection and is capable of alerting security breaches with an extremely high level of accuracy across large and remote perimeters. The technology is scalable and suitable for a wide variety of applications. LIDAR, also known as laser-radar is a remote sensing method which uses light in the form of lasers to measure distances and detect objects. The technology has been used in the defence industry for many years and is now commonly being used in autonomous vehicles, by companies including General Motors and Google. The two new patents build on Spectur's intellectual property portfolio and follows the establishment of a research and development centre in Melbourne that will drive the commercialisation of the Company's new pipeline of products playing a key role in Spectur's aggressive growth strategy. It is expected the two new technologies will be available for commercial sale in early 2018.
