Customer oriented and innovation driven, ITURRI benefits from 1,400 employees in 14 countries over four continents in order to provide daily support to more than 10,000 customer accounts worldwide.
As a fire truck manufacturer with +500 new vehicles per year, the ITURRI Group has partnered with Fotokite to offer +550,000 firefighters simple and immediate access to valuable thermal aerial information with the Fotokite Sigma. The partnership is meant to equip and train Spanish and Portuguese firefighters with Fotokite technology.
The Fotokite Sigma allows any firefighter to quickly gain overview perspectives during critical situations at the push of a button, without any active piloting. The Kite carries a specialized thermal aerial camera. It is robust, deployable in seconds, fully-autonomous, and provides a constant aerial perspective in emergency situations. The system can be seamlessly integrated into any fire department with or without an established drone program. It complements existing drone programs without adding any complexity and serves as a daily-use front line tool. The IP55 classification and a 24h+ flight autonomy allow the Fotokite Sigma to be used safely in all-weather conditions.
