EmiControls, a company based in Italy, who design innovative firefighting solutions using water mist technology, has recently delivered a TAF firefighting robot to Ukrainian firefighters in collaboration with its local partner.

EmiControls have sent its TAF Firefighting Robot to enhance the safety of emergency responders in the war zone, where over 100 firefighters have already lost their lives and many others have been injured.

The handover of the TAF Firefighting Robot to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service (DSNS) took place during an event attended by German Development Minister Svenja Schulze.

Innovative technology for enhanced safety

The TAF AirCore firefighting robot has been designed by EmiContols to tackle challenging scenarios. Its modular design and remote-control capability make the TAF AirCore suited for operations in crisis areas.

Equipped with thermal imaging and high-resolution cameras, the robot allows firefighters to operate from a safe distance of up to 300 meters. This protects them from dangers such as fires, explosions and firearms.

The aim is to support the work of firefighters and increase their safety under extreme conditions. The use of water mist enables targeted firefighting but also helps to suppress gas or smoke and create escape routes.

International cooperation for deployment in Ukraine

EmiControls is headquartered in Bolzano, Italy, and is part of the TechnoAlpin Group. The company develops solutions for firefighting, dust suppression and odor control using water mist technology, which is deployed worldwide. The TAF AirCore firefighting robot, distributed via Magirus GmbH, is based on the idea of using an air stream generated by a turbine to distribute water mist on a mobile platform, allowing for more efficient firefighting.

CEO OF EmiControls, Martin Eppacher’s statement

CEO of EmiControls, Martin Eppacher said of the delivery that: “Our goal is to provide innovative technologies that protect people in dangerous situations and make the work of emergency responders easier.”
