Fire Incident at Taiwan Plastics Xinguang Township Zhongyangzi CCL Copper Foil Substrate Factory and Planck Vision Systems’ Solution

On August 26, 2024, at approximately 11:33am, a severe fire broke out at the Taiwan Plastics Zhongyangzi CCL copper foil substrate factory in Xinguang Township. The fire spread rapidly with thick smoke billowing into the sky. The Chiayi County Fire Department promptly dispatched 21 fire trucks and 46 personnel to combat the blaze. Initial investigations revealed that the fire originated on the factory’s second floor, likely due to burning hot coal oil, with smoke also emerging from the top floor. The Chiayi City Fire Department joined the effort, bringing the total number of firefighting vehicles to about 20.

After a prolonged battle lasting approximately four hours, the fire was brought under control around 3:30pm. The blaze caused significant damage to the factory’s production lines, equipment, and raw materials, with preliminary estimates of economic losses reaching up to NT$50 million. In response, Taiwan Plastics has implemented immediate measures including halting production for inspections, enhancing internal safety training, upgrading fire safety equipment, and establishing a more rigorous fire warning system.

To effectively address similar incidents, Planck Vision Systems offers advanced thermal imaging monitoring solutions that significantly enhance fire prevention and system protection across industries. Our technology provides the following benefits:

1. Real-Time Temperature Monitoring: Planck Vision Systems’ thermal imaging technology detects minute temperature variations in real-time, allowing early identification of potential fire hazards.
