PROTECTING THE NATURAL WORLD
Dryad provides ultra-early wildfire detection and autonomous drone solutions protecting public and private forests.
SILVANET
Silvanet Wildfire Sensors detect fires within minutes from ignition enabling fire fighters to extinguish fires before they spread out of control. Our AI-powered gas sensors utilize our unique large-scale mesh network to connect in remote areas.
SENSORS
Our fully industrialized, solar-powered and AI-enabled wildfire sensors detect fires within minutes from ignition.
The 4th generation of our sensors combines VOC, CO and PM2.5 sensors to detect fires as early as the smoldering phase.
NETWORK
Our scalable, distributed mesh networks enable large deployments of low-cost sensors.
Off-grid, solar-powered LoRaWAN mesh networks connect sensors even in the most remote areas.
CLOUD
Our cloud platform enables deployment planning, operation, analytics and alerting for Silvanet networks.
Fire risk and fire spread modelling provide actionable insights and tools to make better decisions.
USE CASES
Our technology offers a wide range of use cases and delivers significant value across various sectors.
Protect your vital natural assets and ecosystems with our revolutionary Silvanet wildfire detection technology.
When it comes to fighting wildfires, speed is everything. Silvanet detects fires during their early smoldering phase enabling response teams to extinguish them easily and safely.
Power and transport infrastructure is a leading cause of wildfires. Protect against liabilities with our cost-effective, scalable and durable solution.
Our technology is highly adaptable to various needs and use-cases, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any other enquiries.
SILVAGUARD
Silvaguard is an advanced drone system responding to fires detected by Silvanet, dispatching autonomous drones to provide advanced situational awareness and extinguish small fires.
Note: Suppression drone provided by Harald Müller Metall-Sonderfertigung GmbH funded by BMBF (Projekt PEELIKAN).
OBSERVATION DRONE
The autonomous Silvaguard Observation Drone is dispatched when a Silvanet sensor detects a fire.
Using infrared and optical cameras, it scans the area and provides exact geolocation of the fire and delivers unparalleled situational awareness.
HANGAR
Silvaguard drones need to be deployed in close proximity to the forest areas and protected from weather and animals.
The hangar keeps the drone protected from weather and animals and charges the drone using integrated solar panels.
SUPPRESSION DRONE
With the exact geolocation of the fire, the Silvaguard Suppression Drone is dispatched to extinguish the fire.
Equipped with a large 100 liter tank, it applies fire suppressant liquids to extinguish fires autonomously.
ROADMAP
Our roadmap includes a portfolio of sensors including fuel-moisture, soil moisture sensors to measure the fire risk with ground-truthing sensors, chainsaw & gunshot detection to detect illegal logging and human presence detectors to locate humans in case of a fire.
We have several live R&D projects looking at future applications for the digital forest.
ABOUT DRYAD
We use a advanced technologies to protect our natural resources, valuable assets and ultimately save lives.
OUR STORY
After several successful startups and exits in IT, electronics and telecommunications, we now apply our expertise to solve real-world problems. Witnessing forest fires increasingly threatening the world's largest carbon sink compelled us to think of innovative solutions to protect our invaluable natural resources by harnessing the power of nature and technology.
OUR MISSION
In Greek mythology, dryads are tree spirits living in symbiotic relationship with their hosts. Our artificial 'Dryads' monitor, analyze and protect forests using cutting-edge technology. Our mission is to tackle wildfires with ultra-early detection, and to protect and restore the critical natural resources upon which we all depend.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
Dryad has developed a wireless environmental sensor network based on LoRaWAN: the leading open-standard for long-range radio IoT networks. Our patented distributed architecture enables large-scale deployments in areas without existing network coverage. Our vison extends beyond detection and into autonomous drone systems to provide advanced situation awareness and even extinguish fires.
