  • Thermal Imaging for the Wood Products Industry: Enhancing Safety, Quality, and Operational Uptime

    Discover how FLIR thermal imaging helps wood processing plants prevent fires, reduce downtime, and improve safety through real-time condition monitoring.

  • Behind the Scenes: How Acoustic Imaging Technology is Helping the Finnish National Opera and Ballet Run Smoothly

    With thousands of moving parts powering the stage machinery, the Finnish National Opera and Ballet relies on precision maintenance to ensure flawless performances. The FLIR Si2 Acoustic Imaging Camera helps the maintenance team detect mechanical faults early on, even in the most hard-to-reach areas. By pinpointing issues with bearings, pulleys, and other critical components, the Si2 enables efficient, non-contact inspections, preventing costly breakdowns and ensuring uninterrupted stage operations.

  • FLIR Thermal Imaging Boosts Grid Reliability in Ireland

    A first-of-its-kind thermal monitoring system at a key Irish power station is delivering real-time fire detection, continuous condition monitoring, and AI-ready infrastructure - marking a major leap in grid resilience and future-proof energy operations.

  • Detect and Prioritize Railway Brake Air Leaks with the FLIR Si1-LD

    Identifying subtle leaks amidst the ambient noise of a busy rail yard is a complex challenge. The acoustic signature of a small air leak is often drowned out by surrounding machinery, making conventional detection methods time-consuming and often unreliable. To address this challenge, FLIR has developed the Si1-LD handheld acoustic camera, a highly sophisticated tool designed to detect compressed air leaks with precision, even in noisy environments typical of rail infrastructure.

  • Improve Rail Maintenance Shed Efficiency with the FLIR Si2-Pro Acoustic Camera

    The traditional method of detecting air leaks in compressed and pneumatic systems is performed using a bubble spray. This requires a technician to walk the length of the train, listening carefully, often against the backdrop of a cacophony of background noise, trying to detect a leak. On a recent visit to a busy railway maintenance yard, the FLIR Si2-Pro acoustic imaging camera was challenged to see if it could improve the engineer’ ability to diagnose and repair faults more quickly.

  • From Heat to Hazard: Why Forestry Kilns and Biomass Dryers Need Early Fire Detection Systems

    Kilns and dryers in forestry facilities pose serious fire risks due to high heat and combustible dust. Discover how FLIR thermal imaging technology enables early fire detection, protects assets, and prevents costly industrial fires before they ignite.

  • Survival: Structure Consumed, Rescue Made, Life Saved – and TIC Recovered

    How tough are FLIR TICs? Tough enough to withstand a fully-engulfed house fire – fully operational and ready for action.

  • Teledyne FLIR Participates in Interpol Drone Countermeasure Exercise

    Today, perimeter security threats do not only include intruders who linger in the shadows with wire cutters. Lightweight, unmanned aerial systems (UASs) that can fly straight over perimeter fences carrying any number of payloads, in or out, have changed the game completely. This has created a uniquely challenging environment for commercial and military security personnel alike. That challenge has not, however, gone unmatched. In September 2021, INTERPOL and Norwegian Police carried out a three-day exercise in Oslo to evaluate and test drone countermeasures in a secure airspace environment. Teledyne FLIR devices yielded superior performance in the tests, only further setting them apart as a competitive and reliable Counter UAS (C-UAS) solution provider.

  • Range Science Cameras: FLIR RS8500 & RS6780

    Long-range thermal imaging can be key to accurate data collection in harsh environments and open-air test range applications. Researchers on these projects need cameras that can characterize fast thermal transients on high-speed targets, offer enhanced sensitivity and spatial resolution, and have advanced triggering and synchronization features. The Teledyne FLIR Range Science (RS-Series) line of cameras deliver on all of these requirements and more to improve the quality of data while saving time and frustrations inherent in long range, dynamic data capture environments.

  • La Niña is Coming—How Inspectors Can Find Problem Areas Before the Season Strikes

    If you haven't been paying attention to your local weather station, you may not know that we’re due for a La Niña season. Those in the Northern US and Canada will be in for heavy rain and maybe even flooding while those in the southern US will continue to experience drought-like conditions. Whether you're staying warm and dry or keeping cool, you’ll want your home sealed up this season.

  • Teledyne FLIR Introduces X8580 and X6980 Families of High-Speed, High-Resolution Thermal Science Cameras

    Teledyne FLIR introduces two families of X-Series science cameras, the X858x and X698x, offering high-speed and high-resolution thermal imaging capabilities for scientific research and engineering applications within the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectrum.
