A little more to show you
KUBO™ installed beside a fire point, behind glass, within reach. Ready to deploy in ten seconds flat.
Why not more? Because the rest has to be seen for real. Book an appointment and we will come and show you, on your own site.
But tomorrow, on a plane, a train or a bus, those three words could stand for immediate action against an incident involving a lithium battery.
KUBO™ is the name of our new first-response and containment solution, developed specifically for passenger transport.
A phone, a tablet, a battery or an electronic device starts to smoke?
Get the KUBO™.
KUBO™ is a first-response bag that cabin crew deploy in ten seconds to cut off the smoke and heat from a lithium device in thermal runaway.
Product marking
Emergency containment device
That is the exact designation of KUBO™, and it appears on the equipment in three languages: French, German and English.
A containment bag is useless if the person reaching for it first has to work out what it is for. The marking states the function, not the brand, and states it in the language of whoever picks it up.
Containment: the word is deliberate. KUBO™ does not extinguish the battery; it cuts off smoke and heat and contains the thermal runaway.
One single solution
A single piece of equipment on board, immediately identifiable, rather than a combination of scattered means.
A fast response
Designed for on-board staff: no technical handling, no tools, no complex decision to make under pressure.
Seconds to act
That is the time available between the first smoke and thermal runaway. KUBO™ is designed to work within that window.
Why passenger transport
A lithium-ion device can ignite anywhere, but in a cabin, a railcar or a bus the response is constrained by three factors: the space is confined, evacuation is impossible or slow, and the response falls to non-specialist staff. KUBO™ is built from those three constraints, rather than adapted from an existing industrial product.
Patent pending. A patent application has been filed with the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property. KUBO™'s technology is therefore protected from now on, while the application is examined.
An on-site demonstration
To find out more, write to us at info@ypiresia.ch. We will be glad to come and give you an on-site demonstration.
If you operate a fleet, an airline or a transport network, the demonstration runs against your real constraints: your cabin, your procedures, your staff.
