British invented safety smart socket to tackle fatal electrical fires

CI Global

Ci Global has announced the launch of its first safety smart sockets, the patented Ci One and Ci Max. These are ready for mass production, and fully certified for use in the UK, UAE, and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with other countries to follow shortly.

The groundbreaking invention is the
brainchild of Founder and Chairman
of Ci Global, Anthony Parfitt. Parfitt
developed the original UK Home Office Approved ANPR system for the DVLA, and many other UK government-approved safety innovations for the British police and Network Rail.

After the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire, Parfitt made it his personal mission to stop fatal fires caused by electrical faults: a leading cause of deadly building fires worldwide.

Ci’s safety smart sockets are the most advanced and intelligent of their kind, setting a new benchmark for safety. In fact, they are entirely unique – featuring cutting-edge thermal monitoring technology that detects overheating electrical faults in real time, automatically cutting power before a fire can start.

Called the Ci One and Ci Max, Ci’s smart safety sockets go beyond preventing electrical fires. They can also detect hazards such as water leaks, mould, gas leaks, and even earthquakes. Additionally, they automatically power down standby devices, reducing risks while lowering energy consumption and costs.
