Kingston’s Cooktop Safety Inc. Leads the Way in AI-Driven Kitchen Safety

In our mission to spotlight local innovations, Kingston.FYI is thrilled to feature Cooktop Safety Inc., a Kingston-based trailblazer in kitchen safety. They’ve recently launched an AI stovetop monitor, a patent-pending marvel that not only detects potential fire hazards but also alerts homeowners in real-time. But what sets this apart from other safety devices? It’s the integration of thermal imaging with cutting-edge AI, allowing the system to predict and counteract threats before they escalate.

David Eby, the visionary behind Cooktop Safety Inc., shared insights into this innovation. “Traditional fire prevention methods are reactive, kicking in post-hazard. Our thermal monitoring device is proactive, designed to anticipate and prevent mishaps,” he explained. Given that stovetops are a primary source of residential fires, this AI-driven approach is a significant leap forward in ensuring home safety.

The CookTop Safety AI Thermal Sensor is more than just a detector. It’s a sophisticated system that monitors heat patterns and temperature shifts on a cooktop, identifying anomalies that could lead to potential hazards. And with its smart notification strategy, homeowners are alerted at various stages, from a gentle reminder of unattended cooking to an urgent intervention alert. If users don’t respond promptly, the system can even cut off power to the appliance, nipping the threat in the bud.

Eby is optimistic about the future, revealing plans for pre-orders by mid-September 2023 and potential collaborations with leading cooktop manufacturers. “This isn’t just about safety; it’s about enhancing the cooking experience,” he added.
