On October 27, 2024, at 9:15 AM, a fire broke out at the B2 baggage handling area of Taoyuan Airport’s Terminal 2. The incident was caused by equipment malfunction on the No. 16 carousel, where friction created sparks that ignited the protective net. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze by 9:22 AM, and inspections confirmed no damage to the equipment, with estimated losses around 50,000. This incident did not affect baggage transport or airport operations.

On October 27, 2024, at 9:15 AM, a small fire broke out in the B2 baggage handling area of Taoyuan Airport’s Terminal 2. The fire was caused by a malfunction in the No. 16 carousel, where friction from the rollers generated heat, ultimately igniting the protective net and creating a strong burnt smell on-site. Firefighters swiftly responded and extinguished the flames by 9:22 AM.
Following the incident, Taoyuan Airport Corporation immediately activated its emergency response measures. The operations control center conducted a thorough inspection of the scene and confirmed that the fire had not damaged the conveyor equipment, and there was no luggage on the carousel at the time. The estimated loss from this incident is around 50,000. The airport quickly restored normal operations and resumed baggage handling before 10 AM. The airport company subsequently issued a statement emphasizing that the incident did not affect overall airport operations or inconvenience passengers.
Although the fire was small in scale, it highlighted the importance of early fire detection systems. To prevent similar incidents in the future, Taoyuan Airport began considering the introduction of more advanced safety detection technologies to enhance fire protection measures.
At this point, the thermal imaging technology from Planck Vision Systems can play a crucial role. This technology is capable of detecting minute temperature changes at the early stages of a fire and can issue timely alerts. Through continuous monitoring and data analysis, Planck Vision Systems can effectively mitigate potential fire risks and provide specific response plans.
For example, the system can continuously monitor the temperatures of critical areas during equipment operation. If an anomaly is detected, maintenance personnel are notified immediately for inspection. This not only reduces the risk of equipment damage but also ensures passenger safety. Planck Vision Systems’ technology can be integrated into existing airport safety management systems, providing comprehensive protection solutions and enhancing the airport’s ability to respond to emergencies like fires.
In conclusion, this incident has not only made Taoyuan Airport aware of the importance of fire prevention but also prompted them to seek more advanced technologies to improve safety management levels. The thermal imaging technology from Planck Vision Systems is an ideal choice to provide exceptional support in this area, ensuring a safer and more efficient operation in the future.

Scalable Solutions for Early Fire Detection
For early fire detection, Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras are far superior to traditional systems that can alert to fire only after the visible consequences of smoke and flame are present. TNC cameras can help to prevent the destruction of goods and loss of life by surveilling for abnormal heat conditions before fires erupt.
