Maintenance Inspection Windows on Transformers
There are many Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) technologies that can help maintenance technicians catch the early warning signs of impending failure on transformers. These include contact and airborne ultrasound surveys, inspection with an ultraviolet cameras, and visual inspections. Infrared inspection can be especially useful in detecting loose connections, weak crimps, and cable creepage due to thermal cycling—and with the right equipment, doesn't necessarily require facilities to power down.

Advances in Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) technology make leak detection safer at pipelines, tanks, and industrial plants
The new affordability of OGI technology not only enhances safety monitoring for oil and gas applications, but also strengthens an organization’s culture of safety. OGI protects personnel by showing the safety threat from a distance, before a worker is in harm’s way. It empowers any user to establish the facts of an unsafe situation in order to seek a swift remedy.

Four Reasons Security Managers Should Deploy Counter-UAS Solutions
For security managers, drones pose an entirely novel threat, as the technology used in one application for infrastructure maintenance can be easily refitted to cripple any number of facility operations in another. Because of this, Counter UAS (C-UAS) devices have become an increasingly essential part of an end-to-end security solution. Built to detect, identify, locate, track, and then mitigate both ground-based and aerial threats, C-UAS perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) layer industry-leading thermal sensors and radar devices to deliver robust, round-the-clock security capabilities for facilities of every kind, in any weather condition. Below are four reasons why security managers should invest in Teledyne FLIR C-UAS solutions.

Lessons Learned from Drone-Related Incidents
There have been several dangerous drone-related incidents recorded worldwide that have concerned global security personnel of all stripes. Each was an isolated event, of course, but what’s concerning is their part in a rising trend of violent and malicious attacks, carried out by remote pilots of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The solution to this problem is the implementation of robust, Counter-UAS (C-UAS) solutions that meet the threat of aerial attacks head on. An important takeaway from an analysis of these events is that affected individuals had no forewarning of a drone attack, leaving them entirely vulnerable.

The Advantages of Virtual Barrier Video Analytics for Perimeter Systems
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have transformed the perimeter security landscape through the use of video analytics for intrusion detection. Highly-sensitive motion-based analytics, capable of detecting microscale movement at impressive ranges, have seen widespread adoption across perimeter systems deployed at critical infrastructure sites. Today, however, FLIR Virtual Barrier video analytics are yielding even greater benefits for customers, improving detection precision, classification accuracy, geolocation of targets and resilience against false alarms. This tech note will discuss the strategic value of Virtual Barrier analytics in perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) as well as its specific performance advantages when compared to motion-based analytics.
