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.
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.
