  • 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.

  • FLIR Thermal Imaging Cameras Integral to Smart Cities

    The City of Seocho (Seocho-gu) is on a mission to collect the artificial intelligence data needed for smart city services across the region, including downtown, residential areas, parks, and waterfront areas.

  • Tracking Down Hidden Problems During Home Inspections with Thermal Imaging

    Maintaining any home requires regular inspections beyond what we see on the surface. Thankfully, thermal cameras give us the ability to see much than we would with our naked eye. Knowing what to look for can save precious time for inspectors and stop problems from ever happening.

  • Wearcheck Completes Inspection 2X Faster with FLIR Thermal Studio and FLIR Route Creator

    Thanks to FLIR Thermal Studio and FLIR Route Creator, generating reports from substation inspection rounds has become so much easier for South-African inspection company WearCheck. And with the possibility to define inspection rounds in advance, it’s practically impossible to overlook installations. 

  • Teledyne FLIR Gives Çanakkale Bridge Travelers a Safer Crossing

    Teledyne FLIR recently installed its dual thermal AID camera technology for use on the new 1915 Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey. Teledyne FLIR technology will allow traffic users to cross the Çanakkale Strait in a fast and safe way. 1915 Çanakkale Bridge is expected to be a huge contribution to the region and country’s economy. The new suspension bridge that runs from Çanakkale to Malkara will decrease the time it takes to cross the Çanakkale Strait to six minutes.

  • 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.

  • Choosing the Right Lens

    To get the best thermal imagery and most points of measurement on your thermal object of interest, you need to choose a lens that allows you to fill the field of view with your subject.

  • Best-in-class high-speed FLIR camera improves target visibility in long-range tracking and measurement applications

    The FLIR RS8500 high-speed camera has been selected for integration into the NEOS optical tracking system from Nurjana Technologies. Thanks to the camera’s superior resolution and measurement accuracy, the Italian system integrator can offer test range customers a solution to identify and track targets with the highest accuracy.

  • Teledyne FLIR Showcases Advanced Imaging Technology and New Regional Alliances at Dubai Air Show 2021

    Teledyne FLIR (Stand # 1646) is going full force at the Dubai Air Show 2021, with demonstrations of many of its leading thermal and visual sensors for the defense market, as well as holding strategic meetings with regional customers and partners, hosted by senior leadership.
