  • FLIR helps New Covent Garden migrate to IP security system

    New Covent Garden Market is the largest wholesale fruit, vegetable, and flower market in the United Kingdom. Redevelopment work launched in 2015 included a new security monitoring system, as well as a migration from analog security equipment to an IP solution from FLIR Systems.

  • Inspecting Motors, Pumps, and Valves

    A motor breakdown, pump failure, or valve leak is always a critical issue in the oil and gas supply chain. They can result in pollution, product or energy loss, and shutdown of equipment or a production line. That’s why motor, pump, and valve inspections using FLIR thermal imaging technology are a vitally important part of predictive maintenance programs for so many businesses.

  • Application Spotlight: Upstream and Midstream Security

    With miles of gas lines to manage, oil and gas companies face many security and asset monitoring challenges. One solution is a thermal security solution that provides early warning of gas flow issues through pipes, as well as perimeter protection. Unique analytics allow companies to expand perimeter protection without a large investment in additional fence and or hardware.

  • Inspecting Natural Gas Compressors

    Compressors can fail for several reasons, including extensive wear or thermal stress on components. Determining the source of the failure through external inspections can be time consuming and labor intensive, while internal component inspections are challenging when you can't directly see inside the equipment. Incorporating a borescope or OGI camera into a routine maintenance plan can help natural gas companies improve safety, reduce costs, and extend the life of compressors.

  • Application Spotlight: Electrical On-Site Substation

    Maintenance personnel must routinely monitor Load Tap Changers (LTCs) for signs of trouble, including leaks, hot spots, and low oil levels. These systems have built-in gauges that aren’t always correct, and they can be difficult to check or even reach with traditional tools. Thermal imaging can help inspectors assess the health of LTCs and monitor them in real-time to ensure transformers are running at peak performance.

  • Application Spotlight: Electrical Systems Distribution Inspection

    Electrical connection and component failures can be expensive to repair and lead to expensive, unplanned downtime. That's why it's important to keep electrical distribution system in proper working order—from busbars to circuit breakers and fuses. Thermal imaging can provide key information on how these systems are functioning, helping maintenance professionals quickly troubleshoot overheating electrical connections and components.

  • Push-button cross signals are a reliable way for pedestrians to cross intersections and roads safely

    Haarlemmermeer, Netherlands is using thermal detection sensors from FLIR to improve the efficiency of pedestrian push buttons at signalized intersections for smoother traffic, less vehicle idling, and fewer frustrated motorists.

  • Application Spotlight: Adhesive and Sealant Inspection

    Glue bead placement accuracy is critical to achieve the desired structural integrity and sealing performance. Manufacturers can monitor this process with visible-light cameras, but the enormous variety of adhesive materials and lighting conditions present challenges. A thermal imager or an IR temperature sensor can help users easily determine whether the glue bead has been applied properly, has gaps, and is within the required temperature limits.

  • Application Spotlight: Welding Inspection

    Weldings are crucial to an automobile's safety and quality, but standard methods for testing are destructive. Most often, these tests are costly and only feasible for a small part of the weld. In order to properly check the weld and gain meaningful insight into the welding processes, some inspectors are starting to use thermal imaging to visualize weld seam quality.

  • Lawrence, Massachusetts Deploys FLIR Video System for Safety

    Situated north of Boston, the city of Lawrence is a densely populated area of over 79,000 residents. It’s known for being a manufacturing hub. When looking to address crime, the community found themselves lacking surveillance capabilities. As a result, government officials saw a critical need to deploy a wide-spread, situational awareness system. Familiar with the Urban Area Security Initiative Homeland Security District in Boston and FLIR Systems’ instrumental role, the city of Lawrence was interested in what FLIR could offer.

  • Teledyne FLIR Defense Introduces New High-Performance SeaFLIR 240 and TacFLIR 240 Surveillance Systems

    Advanced sensors, optics, and image processing features deliver best-in-class range performance for object detection, recognition and identification TAMPA, Flor., May 18, 2022 ― Teledyne FLIR Defense announced today at SOFIC 2022 the official launch of SeaFLIR® 240 and TacFLIR® 240, the latest additions to its line of high-definition, multi-spectral surveillance systems developed for a variety of maritime and land-based operations.

  • Teledyne FLIR Awarded $500 Million U.S. Army Contract for Family of Weapons Sights-Individual Program

    Lightweight thermal imaging system allows soldiers to see targets and conduct operations day or night, through smoke and fog, in all weather conditions THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., May 5, 2022 ― Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY), announced that it has won a five-year, firm-fixed-price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract worth up to $500.2 million to provide advanced thermal imaging systems for the U.S. Army’s Family of Weapons Sights-Individual (FWS-I) program.
