FLIR Launches Always-On Vibration and Temperature Condition Monitoring Kit for Industrial Inspection
Often before industrial machinery start showing issues that require immediate maintenance, pending problems can be detected through minute vibration changes. Therefore, the first component of effective condition monitoring is a combined remote vibration and temperature sensing monitoring solution. Manufacturing facilities from paper mills, to food and beverage processors to the oil and gas industry benefit from 24/7 remote condition monitoring of critical infrastructure and machinery. By combining the power of FLIR’s vibration and temperature detection, industries now have a complete solution kit that maximizes production output, improves worker safety, and reduces operational costs. Vibration detection not only provides early warning to help eliminate maintenance surprises before they happen, it also…

FLIR Machine Vision Cameras are Headed to Mars!
On July 30th, NASA successfully launched their Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mission, scheduled to land on the Red Planet on February 18th, 2021. The primary mission is to search for signs of ancient microscopic life and collect the first ever Martian soil samples to bring back to Earth. But the NASA team is also preparing this trip for another first: footage of a spacecraft landing on another planet. For the first-ever filming of a spacecraft landing, the engineers included 6 FLIR RGB machine vision cameras. Previous Mars missions have taken still photos of the planetary descent, but no landing has ever been filmed. While everything about a space mission takes…

FLIR präsentiert die Elara FR-345-EST zum schnellen und präzisen Screening nach erhöhter Körpertemperatur
Während die Angestellten wieder in ihre Büros zurückkehren, der Flugreiseverkehr wieder anläuft und die Fans allmählich wieder in die Stadien strömen, spielt Technologie, die sich auf den Schutz der Gesundheit und der Sicherheit in halböffentlichen und privaten Einrichtungen konzentriert, weiterhin eine entscheidende Rolle, um die Ausbreitung von COVID-19 zu verlangsamen. Deshalb hat FLIR Systems heute die FLIR Elara FR-345-EST vorgestellt, eine fest installierte radiometrische Wärmebild-Überwachungskamera, die erhöhte Hauttemperaturen präzise misst und dafür keine Referenztemperaturquelle benötigt. Dieses System schafft in stark frequentierten Flughäfen, Stadien, Gewerbegebäuden und Fertigungseinrichtungen eine sichere und effektive Messumgebung, um die Hauttemperatur an Zugangskontrollpunkten schnellstmöglich zu beurteilen. Die Elara FR-345-EST führt die Messung automatisch zu dem Bereich des…

How Thermal Technologies Improve Facility Security and Workforce Safety
Blind spots in surveillance coverage, incompatible video and access control systems, lack of adequate perimeter measures-these are common issues that facility directors must address with their security teams. At the end of the day, facility executives need technology that accomplish more with less-that expand situational awareness, overall system functionality, and real-time response capabilities while generating costsavings. By leveraging technology like thermal imaging, this is possible. Security directors who want to improve facility management-specifically 24/7 monitoring for heightened security and elevated skin temperature frontline screening for entry control-should consider incorporating thermal cameras into their next security upgrade or new installation project. Leveling Up your Security with Thermal By using thermal security…

Interfaces for Machine Vision
Choosing the right interface for your machine vision application is a key decision in your camera selection process. The following sections provide an overview of the different types of cables and connectors available for machine vision applications along with associated pros and cons. Dedicated interfaces Useful for applications where extremely high-speeds or ultra high-resolution necessitate the use of such interfaces; for example, line-scan cameras used to inspect continuous flow processes like paper or plastic film production where cameras frequently work in the kHz range. However, these interfaces tend to be significantly more expensive, less flexible and add to system complexity. CarmeraLink (supports up to 6.8Gbit/s of data) and CoaXPress (supports…
