Raythink highlights fire prevention technology supporting Saudi Vision 2030 goals at Intersec Saudi Arabia

How Raythink’s new fire prevention systems could redefine oil field safety

New fire prevention and security technology unveiled in Riyadh

Raythink Technology has unveiled its latest fire prevention and thermal imaging solutions at Intersec Saudi Arabia 2025, held from 29 September to 1 October at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center in Saudi Arabia.

The company is exhibiting at Booth 5-D44, showcasing a range of new and upcoming products including thermal PTZ cameras, infrared panoramic systems and AI-integrated management platforms.

According to the company, these technologies are designed to enhance protection across oil and gas fields, as well as commercial, warehouse and residential environments.

Raythink said its systems provide a combination of long-range detection, continuous monitoring and automated fire identification to improve security and reduce fire risks in critical energy facilities.

Security solutions for oil and gas operations

Raythink stated that its oil and gas field security solution addresses the challenges of protecting remote energy infrastructure against theft and safety threats.

The system is centred on the SilentW series infrared panoramic cameras and the PC series multi-spectrum PTZ cameras.

According to the company, these deliver ultra-long-range detection and 24/7 all-weather monitoring, supported by intelligent alert functions.

Raythink explained that this combination provides consistent situational awareness for large, dispersed assets in the energy sector.

The firm said the technology establishes a new benchmark for the surveillance and protection of high-value oil and gas operations.

Intelligent fire detection and AI-enabled management

Fire prevention was identified by Raythink as a major focus of its Intersec Saudi Arabia display.

The company said its thermal PTZ cameras use an intelligent fire detection algorithm capable of identifying hotspots from as little as 1.5 pixels.

This function aims to increase detection accuracy while limiting false alarms.

The Thermal Bullet Camera, also displayed at the event, combines temperature analysis with fire detection functions for perimeter protection in industrial, commercial and residential settings.

Raythink added that its VIS-3100 fire management platform links surveillance with AI-driven analysis to create a complete process from alarm generation to incident assessment.

The company said this system enables a unified visual command structure for comprehensive fire control.

Aligning with Saudi Vision 2030

Raythink stated that its participation at Intersec Saudi Arabia forms part of a wider commitment to supporting Saudi Vision 2030.

The company said its products contribute to national objectives by improving the safety and resilience of the Kingdom’s energy infrastructure while promoting sustainable industrial growth.

Usher Wang, Product Manager at Raythink, said: “Intersec Saudi Arabia is a pivotal opportunity for Raythink to connect with industry pioneers across the Middle East.

“It allows us to showcase our innovative thermal imaging solutions and explore collaborative possibilities that align with the Kingdom’s vision for a secure and technologically advanced future.”

Relevance for fire and safety professionals

Raythink’s new thermal imaging and fire management solutions are relevant for safety professionals working in energy, industrial and commercial sectors.

Oil and gas safety officers may find the company’s long-range monitoring systems applicable for remote asset surveillance, especially where traditional patrols are limited.

Facility managers and risk assessors could benefit from the fire detection accuracy offered by the thermal PTZ and bullet cameras, which use pixel-based heat identification to reduce false alarms.

Fire engineers and system installers may also find interest in the VIS-3100 platform’s integration of AI-driven alarm, dispatch and assessment functions, offering a unified visual command system for managing fire risks across large sites.

Firefighters missing amid oil storage tank fire in Cuba

A large fire in a crude oil tank in the port of Matanzas in Cuba caused several explosions Saturday morning, leaving at least 121 people injured, local authorities said, and 17 firefighters, who were trying to prevent the flames from spreading, were declared missing by Cuba’s presidential office.

Firefighters and other specialists were still trying to quell the blaze at the Matanzas Supertanker Base, where the fire began during a thunderstorm Friday night, the Ministry of Energy and Mines tweeted.

The oil storage facility is located in an area of Matanzas Bay opposite the city centre. Authorities said about 800 people were evacuated from the Dubrocq neighbourhood closest to the fire.

In an afternoon press conference, Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero said rescue teams recovered the body of an unidentified person. Local state media reported it was of one of the missing firefighters.

The Cuban government said it accepted “technical assistance” offered by the United States to help put out the fire.

Firefighting teams appeared to have made progress on Sunday bringing under control a fire at its main oil storage facility, drawing on help from Mexico and Venezuela to fight the raging flames.
