Senior Design Project - Group 6

About the Project

The FLAMES (Fire Detection and Monitoring for Emergency Situations) project aims to deliver an innovative solution for early fire detection in small, high-risk environments such as labs and CNC machines; settings where traditional detectors may be triggered by harmless sparks. Utilizing advanced optical sensors and FPGA-based flag synchronization, our system enables real-time fire monitoring and alerting to enhance detection accuracy and improve safety during emergencies.
