  • Helping Cities Protect and Serve: FLIR Provides the Technology Cities Need to Thrive

    New and better-connected sensing technologies are quickly playing a bigger role in how city governments and city services are serving constituents. By combining these sensing technologies, from thermal imaging on unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to traffic monitoring, these emerging technologies can be leveraged together to improve safety and quality of life.

  • Continuously Monitoring Volcanic Activity

    Monitoring volcanic activity with a standard visual camera has its challenges. The solution for many observatories is to install fixed thermal imaging cameras designed for continuous monitoring. Because they can “see” heat, thermal cameras can provide a clear view of the hot, warm, and cool surfaces of a volcano, even, in some cases, through fumes.

  • Condition Monitoring Improves Reliability of Electrical Power Systems

    Electric power utilities are looking for ways to avoid system failures in order to improve reliability while at the same time reducing costs. Condition monitoring with a fixed thermal imaging camera allows these utilities to detect impending equipment failures, day or night, improving system uptime and reducing costs.

  • How Safe Are Thief Hatches?

    In the Oil and Gas industry, it’s a common practice for operators to gauge the level of tanks through the thief hatch—a small, closable opening in a tank or vessel. Unfortunately, the process of opening the thief hatch can put workers in unsafe environments due to invisible emissions from the tanks, visible with an Optical Gas Imaging camera.

  • Protect Personnel and Equipment by Detecting Early Signs of Fire

    See how a monitoring with a fixed thermal camera can help companies stop potential fires in their tracks.

  • Real-Time Thermal Monitoring with NASCAR Next-Gen

    Behind each NASCAR vehicle is a small army of team members determined to make sure race day goes smoothly, no small feat when each race pushes cars to the brink. When excessive heat issues in a redesigned cockpit threatened driver comfort and focus, the engineering team reached out to Teledyne FLIR to help identify the source of the problem using two FLIR A50 thermal cameras.

  • ITS-Series Dual AID Surpasses Standards for Fire Detection Systems in Japan

    Underground land planning in major cities has helped ease the pressures of traffic and overcrowding but presents unique challenges due to the inaccessibility of underground roadways in the case of a traffic accident. Monitoring underground spaces, especially for tunnel fires, is essential to catch problems early and prevent catastrophic and life-threatening events. The Teledyne FLIR ITS Dual AID thermal camera provides real-time temperature measurement and alarms, giving it a major advantage compared to traditional fire detection technologies. Recently, the ITS Dual AID passed regulations for installment in underground spaces in Japan. 

  • Understanding Cooled vs Uncooled Optical Gas Imaging

    For more than a decade, FLIR Systems has manufactured infrared (IR) cameras to visualize gas leaks of various kinds. Historically, OGI cameras have been designed with cooled IR detectors that offer several advantages over uncooled detectors - but they often come at a higher cost. Advancements in the technology of uncooled detectors have allowed the OGI camera manufacturers such as FLIR to design and develop lower cost OGI solutions for these industries.

  • Phoenix Agencies Team Up to Leverage Cloud Data Fusion and Improve Traffic Flow

    The Phoenix Metropolitan Area has 4 million people spread over a number of individual cities. It is one of the fastest growing regions in the United States, and like other metropolitan areas, it faces the specific challenges that come with managing such regions.

  • SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Implements IR Window Solutions

    When SLAC discovered a failed circuit breaker on some very old switchgear, they determined the optimal solution was the installation of infrared inspection windows.

  • Recorded Webinar: FLIR QL320 Introduction and Basic Training

    Gain a fundamental understanding of quantitative optical gas imaging, or QOGI, in this recorded webinar with one of our FLIR optical gas imaging experts, Craig O'Neill. He also offers detailed operational training for the FLIR QL320 QOGI System, including a product demonstration.

  • Accelerate Electronics Design and Testing with Teledyne FLIR Infrared Cameras

    As electronic components and systems get smaller and more powerful, the potential for failures and significant damage due to inherent heat generation increases. Finding, evaluating, and fixing these hot spots during product development and validation is becoming increasingly difficult. Whether you work in research, design, testing, quality assurance, or repair of electronic systems, you can benefit from viewing this free webinar.
