  • 5 Advancements in the New FLIR Exx-Series Thermal Cameras

    Earlier this month, FLIR announced the release of four new models of the Exx-Series of advanced thermal imaging cameras for electro-mechanical, plant, and building maintenance professionals. The four new models—the FLIR E54, E76, E86, and E96—offer a range of resolution capabilities, and are a generational, technological leap that will help make it easier and faster for professionals to find heat-related trouble spots and fix them before they become big, costly problems. With this in mind, here are five key design and feature advancements that make the Exx-Series the new go-to thermal cameras for maintenance pros.

  • FLIR and WWF Join in Search for the Masked Bandits of the Prairie

    Teledyne FLIR has once again partnered with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in its mission to protecting wildlife and restoring struggling habitats. The organizations met in central Montana at the Fort Belknap Reservation to track black-footed ferrets, one of North America’s most endangered mammals.

  • New Si124 range improved bandwidth yields big savings for energy-intensive industries

    The Teledyne FLIR range of acoustic imaging cameras, the Si124, Si124-PD and Si124-LD, now offers an improved bandwidth range for detecting compressed air leaks in industrial settings. The change means that the industry-leading range can now detect leaks from anywhere between 2 to 65 kHz and adds crucial functionality to the previous peak bandwidth of 35 kHz.

  • Low-Cost FLIR ONE® Key to Student’s New Anti-Poaching Solution

    Thousands of endangered animals are illegally hunted every year in Africa, with rangers often getting caught in the crossfire trying to protect them. Current prevention methods include rangers stationed acting as guards or monitoring camera feeds; unfortunately, this can be prone to human error and can be tedious for those standing watch. Some parks rely on advanced thermal security cameras provided through a joint-project by the World Wildlife Fund and Teledyne FLIR. For others, a low-cost thermal solution could have a large impact on rangers’ ability to stop poachers. It’s a problem Anika Puri, a 17-year-old from Chappaqua, New York, hopes to address with FLIR ONE camera and an artificial intelligence (AI) solution she developed.

  • The FLIR 80° IR Lens Create Immediate Savings for Indoor Electric Inspections

    Teledyne FLIR recently released a new 80° lens to give inspectors a wider field of view (FOV) and enable easier indoor inspections. One of the most common issues when conducting indoor inspections is operating in confined spaces and difficulty in capturing an entire target in a single shot. The enhanced viewing angle is especially useful for closed cabinets that contain critical or high-powered electric systems.

  • Physics Teacher Takes FLIR ONE Edge on Antarctic Expedition

    In February of 2023, fifty teachers from around the United States and Canada were selected to go on a series of field-based expeditions as part of the 15th cohort of the Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship (GTF). Offered by the National Geographic Society and Lindblad Expeditions, the GTF serves as a professional development opportunity for Pre-K through Grade 12 educators to explore unique environments and bring their experiences back to share with their classrooms and communities. The fellowship receives hundreds of applicants from across the two countries; among the deserving fellowship recipients was high school physics teacher, Joe Muise.

  • Why Your Business Needs Thermal Condition Based Monitoring

    Product quality is high on the priority list of any reputable manufacturer. Whether your business manufacturers finished articles, or components for other business to incorporate into their products, the risks are the same. If your production equipment fails, your business quickly transitions from a profitable organisation to a loss-making company. But can these issues be avoided in the first place? We believe the answer is yes; carefully monitoring the condition of your production equipment on a regular basis has shown that many supply chain problems can be eliminated.

  • FLIR TrafiOne Traffic Sensor Protects Vulnerble People From Crosswalk Accidents

    Smart crosswalks are the next step in alerting drivers to the presence of vulnerable pedestrians. These systems can include traffic sensors such as FLIR TrafiOne, which work like sentinels engineered to prevent traffic accidents on and around pedestrian crossings. This type of “hybrid” system has been installed as part of pilot projects led by local governments to protect children in school zones as well as residential areas across Seoul in an attempt to further strengthen the safety of pedestrians.

  • Safely inspect without hot-work permits: save time and cut labor costs in explosive environments with certified thermography

    Inspecting critical elements in hazardous environments is typically a drawn-out process - but it doesn’t have to be. Introducing an alternative to time-consuming hot-work permits and seemingly ceaseless paperwork; the FLIR Cx5 is here to save time without compromising on safety.

  • FLIR Research Studio: Essential Updates

    FLIR Research Studio is an incredible tool for researchers to easily control, view, record, analyze, and share thermal data from FLIR cameras. Research Studio saves the researcher time through an easy to use interface that works reliably with many different cameras. Our latest rollout of new features makes it our most intuitive and easy-to-use iteration to date.

  • Teledyne FLIR cameras help save lives in Stockholm fire

    Firefighting is an extremely dangerous and demanding profession, both physically and mentally. The team at Solna Fire Station in Stockholm, Sweden, is a case in point, where the use of a FLIR K-series camera recently helped one of the team’s smoke divers save four lives in a city centre fire.

  • Understanding OGI Detector Pixel Size

    Chief among specifications, in nearly all types of imaging, is resolution. However, in some optical gas imaging (OGI) applications, it is beneficial to opt for a lower resolution camera to achieve optimal performance. This article discusses why high resolution is not always king in OGI, notes scenarios in which higher resolution is desired, and introduces FLIR OGI solutions to meet any resolution needs your operation may experience.
