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.

Getting OGI Leak Detection Right with Improved Tech and Tools
There has been a major shift in how the government will regulate methane and other greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. To match the recent regulations, affected O&G organizations need to ensure that they have the right personnel, training, and tools to complete the mission, especially handheld gas detection tools that will be able to quickly detect and measure leaks. With its purpose-built approach and new features, FLIR OGI cameras enable inspectors to detect leaks faster and pinpoint the source immediately, leading to prompt repairs, reduced industrial emissions, and greater conformity to regulations.

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.

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.

Application Note: Ensuring Safety and Preventing Fire with FLIR Thermal Monitoring for Battery Energy Storage Systems
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essential for storing renewable energy and ensuring grid stability. However, their implementation comes with inherent risks, particularly related to lithium-ion battery fires. Traditional detection methods such as flame detectors often fail in the early stages of a BESS fire due to their reliance on visible flames or smoke, which might not be immediately present. Where flame detectors fall short, thermal imaging cameras can significantly improve protection and prevent fires before they ever reach combustion.

Using Advanced Technologies to Understand Methane Emissions in the Biogas Industry
In communities across the globe, daily life creates waste that can be challenging to manage, including agriculture byproducts, livestock manure, and even leftover or discarded food all generate organic waste that produce methane during decomposition. Left alone, this decomposing matter poses an environmental risk. But when managed properly, waste can be transformed into biogas—a form of renewable energy. Enter optical gas imaging (OGI) technology: specialized infrared cameras that are filtered to match the wavelength of specific gases such as methane.

Building Trust in AI: How FLIR's Traffic Solutions Meet the EU AI Act
In 2025, the European Union will execute the world's first comprehensive legislation on AI: the EU Artificial Intelligence Act. This pioneering regulation sets the standard for responsible AI development and deployment, not just across consumer tech but within industries that impact millions of lives every day, including traffic management. At FLIR, we welcome this new benchmark. Our proprietary AI model, developed specifically for Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS), not only complies with the EU AI Act, but it was built with these values in mind.

TrafiSense2 Support
TrafiSense2 is an integrated thermal sensor and detector for vehicle, vulnerable road user, and wrong way driver detection. TrafiSense2 does not need light to operate, and instead uses the thermal energy emitted from road users. This enables the sensor to detect vehicles and vulnerable road users at night, over long distances, and in harsh weather conditions. With available 640x480 resolution, the TrafiSense2 offers 24/7 traffic detection for a wide range of applications.
