Problem
Commercial and residential kitchens often run ventilation fans at full speed regardless of cooking activity, leading to excessive energy use, higher operating costs, and unnecessary noise, while unattended stoves can cause fire hazards.
Solution
Safera offers intelligent sensor‑driven systems that adjust kitchen ventilation and lighting in real time based on actual air quality and cooking activity, and provide automatic fire‑prevention alerts. The FlowHero demand‑control ventilation unit reduces HVAC energy consumption by up to 50 % in professional kitchens without compromising indoor air quality. The Sense Integral module integrates into residential cooker hoods to automate fan speed, LED lighting, and safety alarms, while the Safera App and cloud service enable remote monitoring, alerts, and data‑driven sustainability reporting. Together, these products create safer, more comfortable, and energy‑efficient cooking environments.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial kitchen operators and restaurant owners seeking energy‑efficient ventilation, as well as homeowners and residential appliance manufacturers looking for automated fire safety, air‑quality control, and smart cooking assistance.
